Over 35 and TTC Introducing Myself

in TTC after 35
Hello! I'm 39 and TTC my 1st child. I'm 10 DPO and tested tonight and got a BFN. Maybe too early, but I was hoping! I guess I'll wait until 14 DPO before testing again to be sure. AF is 3 days late...
I'm nervous but excited for the process. I came on here for the camaraderie and support. Nice to meet you all!

    Welcome @lubosgirl!  I hope your stay here is short! :) 

    May I ask - do you always have a 7 day luteal phase?  You mentioned you were 10 dpo and AF was 3 days late.  A 7 day LP is VERY short and if that's your usual, you should probably at least check in with your OB/GYN.  

    Good luck!!

    Yes, my period came a week and 1/2 early last month, so everything is a little off this month. Fertility Friend said I should've gotten AF 3 days ago, but I'm not sure how accurate that is. I did an OPK and know I ovulated between 6/19-6/21. And did the BD on 6/19 and 6/21. Keeping fingers crossed! Thanks all!

    Welcome!  Keep temping and you'll figure out your luteal phase length.  Your ovulation day can vary, but you should get AF a specific number of days after ovulation each month. That way you'll know if you are actually late, versus just ovulated later than usual.

    Good luck!

    RE says the low egg count is likely causing my recurrent pregnancy loss. Less eggs results in more aneuploidy.

    Hi and welcome! Hope tour stay here is short! Just one thing worth noting: OPKs do not confirm ovulation, only LH surge, so make sure you are temping. Good luck!
