TTC after 35

thoughts??? really need the input...

lovely ladies, advice please - you all are so wonderful and helpful and I am scratching my head here...so I'm on day 40...no period, peeing constantly, I have had on and off bloat and today it has been so ridiculous is uncomfortable, tired as HELL - constantly yawning all day...I already have two children and by this point I was puking my guts out with both of them (I had hyperemesis with each of them)...here's the head scratcher: BFN on FR and FR digital (I've taken several tests)...other info: I had the sticky stuff, then more of the egg white stuff around the time I had sex (hey, we can all share this stuff, I'm assuming?)  I had BFP with both of my kids TWO days before I even missed my period - help?!  I'm really at a loss...what's the next step?  is it possible to have a negative result this late?  I've heard of this happening and then it shows up later but I'm not making up these symptoms, trust me...thank you in advance - you all are amazing

  • I didn't track my cycle when I got pregnant with DD as we got lucky the first cycle but I didn't get a bfp on a pee stick until I was 4 weeks pregnant. I even had blood tests done prior to pee test and those came back negative. So I'd say it's possible.

  • My cycles were totally regular, until they weren't.  If the test is negative, then the most healthy thing to so is accept that you're not pregnant, and that you're having a weird cycle. 
    Me- 39 (turning 40 in April), TTC for the first time ever (since Jan 2015), low ovarian reserve
    Married 3/14/14 to my wonderful wife, but her sperm count is rather low
    TTC with frozen donor sperm and science

    7 IUIs, 7 BFNs.
    2 IVF attempts, both cancelled and converted to IUI, both BFNs.
    Decided that my tired old ovaries are ready to retire.
    Next step- reciprocal IVF, using my wife's eggs, my uterus!  
    fresh 5 day transfer (2 embryos) 4/17/17- BFP! 
    Identical twins "due" 1/2/17 (but anticipated arrival sometime December)

    QFP - OP, it is against TOS on this site to ask if you are pregnant.  Please 

    We have no way of knowing if you are pregnant but a BFN suggests you are not.  You should call your doctor if you are concerned about not getting your period.
