TTC after 35

New to the bump!

Hello! I am 37 my hubby and I are TTC - we are on cycle 5 and I'm pretty sure I'm about to to start my period. Ugh! I started acupuncture and Chinese herbs this last month - my acupuncturist wants to lengthen my cycle. I think I ovulated on day 14 (temp rise). I have a very regular short cycle (25 days) and I am on day 27. I got a BFN today. I've had light cramping since Saturday. I saw a fertility specialist on day 20. He did a vaginal ultrasound and said my uterus lining didn't look like I had ovulated. I had a progesterone test on day 21 a it was 15.5. How's that for an introduction. (Sorry!) I've been holding it all in and not wanting to stress about it but I am!! I hope to get to know some of you ladies and offer support through this process (actually I hope all y'all get BFP and move on from the TTC forum!!!)

    Hi! Welcome and good luck :)
    I am not sure how to say this without getting a "solicitation" warning so I guess I just say that I am not longer active on THIS site.

    me:41   dh:43 
    Off Mirena Nov 2013, On Nuvaring end of Jan, Back off Sept 2014.  Never ending cycle starting end of Sept... 
    11/14 Provera failed... cycle continues 
    12/14 High FSH (57 "midcycle")  OBGYN had no clue... about anything 
    01/15 More lab results coming back from RE. U/S showed small (1")cyst on left ovary, thin lining, and couldn't locate right ovary so  possibly straight to DE and IVF 

    Occassionally mess with the chart below to see "what if" and learn (not to make it pretty but because FF stays drunk with me).

    Welcome and good luck to you!

    Welcome!  As pp mentioned I would second her suggestion of confirming Ovulation with bbt charting.  Familiar?  not.. try looking at fertilityfriend  
    If you are confirming ovulation at day 14 with a 13 day lp you sound good to go just from that stand point..
    Best wishes

    Thank you ladies! I am temping. Looks like I ovulated around day 14/15 according to my temperature - although the fertility doc said my uterus did not look like I had ovulated - something to do with my lining. Still no AF and another BFN this morning. I just wish I would either start my period so I can get on with it or get a BFP - the latter being preferred!
