TTC after 35

Intro and opk question

Hi ladies.  I'm 35 and TTC our first.  I had a missed m/c back in April and and a d&c at 13w.  I am on my second cycle ttc again and I have a question.  I tried opks last cycle for the first time and never got a +.  This month I started testing on cd9 and now I have 4 days of very dark +opks.  Is this a problem?  I don't know if they stay positive while you are ovulating and for how long.  I read it could mean that there is an issue with releasing an egg for your LH to stay high that long.  Also if I get a high temp tomorrow ff will put my o date on cd9 which seems very early but who knows.  I'm just obsessing with the charting.  I was much more easygoing about this before my m/c.  If anyone has insight to add that would be great.  I hope to stick around here and see many bfp's.

  • I also struggle with good readings with OPKs but Oing on day 9 isn't that unheard of.  I have 24-25 days cycles and normally O anywhere between day 8 and 10.  So listen to your body and if you think you are, go for it!  I try to take all factors into account - OPKs, temp and CM.  It's such a guessing game you just have to cross your fingers and hope for the best.
