TTC after 35

Should I hope?

Ok ladies, my period is officially late.  

Should've come Thurs or Friday, but nada so far.  That's unusual for me.  I'm pretty predictable in that department.  Did have a very little "color" over the past few days.. but barely anything.

Kinda crampy and bloated.  Breast are sore, but that's a pretty common thing for me, too.  Maybe I'm just imagining things at this point!

Let me also add, I'm 41 with a previous very early m/c about a year ago.  No fert drugs for us (due to religious reasons.)

Dare I hope?  I figure in a couple of days I'll do a test.

    I'd be hoping! And trying to stay only cautiously optimistic until I knew for sure...

    I like to wait to test, too, but if I were you, with a period three days late? I'd be POAS right now!

    Did you ovulate at your expected time?

    I would take a test today.  It sounds promising.

    Have you been charting?  I O'ed 5 days late this cycle (I will be 40 in a week)  so, if I hadn't been charting, I would have thought I was late.  If you are truely late, I would SO be buying a test.

    I'm not very good with the whole charting thing, so we'll leave that factor out of the mix.  And ever since my m/c in Nov 2007, I've been a bit wonky anyway.  

    But my periods have been very consistent at about 26 days, give or take a day or so.  As of today, I'm about 30 days since my last one.  That's a bit out of the ordinary.  But then again, I'm gettin' old!  Ha!

    I just feel like I'm about to get my period, but it just hasn't shown up yet. The very slight lower back crampiness, bloatiness, achiness and tender boobage (all fairly routine stuff for me).   The only thing missing is freakin' AF!

    Plus, given my past, I don't wanna mess with the pregnancy juju.

    I think a trip to Walmart is in order to pick up a test or two.

    Ok.. Tuesday AM.   No period and I feel pretty normal, really. 

    The last time I was pregnant, I felt pretty sick right away.  So this is different.  And maybe a good thing, since I m/ced at 5 weeks. 

    I'm totally milking this anticipation thing, eh?

    Pee on a stick tomorrow.. Ash Wednesday sounds like a good day to me.

    Stay tuned!

    I didn't feel sick until 8 weeks, so that doesn't mean you're not pregnant. Go to Dollar Tree and get some of those cheapy $1 tests. They worked for me and I didn't feel guilty wasting them if I got a BFN. Good luck, keep us posted!!!
    Me: 44 DH: 42. DS born healthy at 40 weeks 8/24/09. TTC since then with no luck or ART. Surprise BFP 8/6/14... MMC @ 8 weeks 4 days... Miss you everyday sweet baby angel.
