TTC after 35

My plan to wait to POAS failed...

I was going to wait until/if AF was late before testing.

But with her due in 2 days and my chart looking so awesome, I tested today. Negative. Both the Wondflo and the $1 store tests. 

I'm giving my uterus the silent treatment and kicking myself for not waiting. Why do I do this to myself?!? At least work tonight will keep my mind off it for 12 hours.

  • Im not sure how ANYONE who is actively ttc waits until after AF is late, it seems impossible to me! So sorry you got a bfn today but as they say it's not over until AF actually shows up, so fingers crossed for you..

  • Even though you're not out yet. Big bummer. This was month 6, wasn't it? It's better to get the bad news on the weekend anyway so you have time to recoop before work. 

    Yet, your chart looks great so you never know ...

  • Sorry about the BFN.  You're not out till AF shows her ugly face!

    You have a lot of open circles on your chart, are you charting at the same time every day?

  • Ha!  I came to post the same thing.  My order of Wondfos came early, so I POAS too.  lol.  Yesterday and today.   lol. 

    You're not out until AF, so FX that your pretty chart is right & it's just too early.

    Ha, ha...I do.  And actually, the only things that prompted me to test other than AF being late is that one time I was waiting to cycle for IVF and another time I had a cat scan scheduled, which is not conducive to pregnancy.  I always figure I'm not pregnant, so why waste $$ on a test!

  • I have been stalking your chart all week.  Don't give up til you have to!  Your chart looks SO good.  :)

  • My sister was all over how awesome my chart looks-- and then acknowledged that yes, my uterus like to eff with my mind!  LOL.

     

    This is cycle 7 for me-- if/when AF arrives, I will pick up my Clomid scrip, schedule my HSG, and send MH to make a deposit at the "bank".

     

    Right now, my shift is slowish (2 stable-by-ICU-standards patients) so I have time to analyze just how not-pregnant I feel. 

    I guess only time will tell; last month, AF was a day late and I decided then that I would NOT test early. I almost made it! So that is *some* kind of progress/moral victory, right?  

    GL and FX for sofamonkey and my other 2WW buddies!

  • I hear ya.... I tested sunday morning because we were getting LO's one year photos taken that day.  I wanted a BFP because I have a "Big Bro" shirt that I wanted to get some photos taken in.  After my BFN though, I was pissed and didn't even take the shirt with us.  If it ever happens, I will have to take some pics myself I guess...

    AF is due tomorrow, and I'm praying she "forgets" to come and visit this month. :)
