Hi & Intro from a newbie

samsoonisamsooni
in TTC after 35

Hi ladies -

I just joined the board and wanted to introduce myself.  I'm 38, my husband is 40 and we've been trying for #1 for 4 months.   We've been married less than a year, but because of my age we wanted to start trying right away.    I was on the pill for many, many years.   I've been charting my temps, CM and using Wondfo OPKs.

I am 14DPO today and my period was due yesterday.  I have no symptoms, except for what I think (hope?) was implantation spotting - brown spotting on 12dpo that only appeared once, on tissue paper.   I've been getting verrrrrrrry faint lines on Wondfo and First Response for 3 days, but the "line" is so incredibly faint and not getting darker that I'm 90% I'm not pregnant.

I'm glad I found this forum.  It's been difficult not to feel stressed or anxious...especially when, everyday, I seem to find another gray hair or small wrinkle.  My periods are light and only last 2 days - in my twenties, they were heavy and lasted 5-7 days.   My ob/gyn says my periods are OK, but still, I can't help but worry.   (Yes, I'm a worrier)

I'm looking forward to learning, hearing everyone's stories and give support wherever I can.

Thanks everyone.

EDD = Nov 22, 2012....Thanksgiving Day!!

    Hi WonderRed - 

    Thanks for your response.  Yes, I also tested this morning with a ClearBlue Digital.  It said "not pregnant".  These are the tests I've used over the past 3 days.  The strip tests gave either VERY faint lines or nothing at all.

    - First Response Early Result

    - EPT

    I know I'm going overboard.  :/

    Hi - thank you everyone for the kind welcome and encouraging comments.  AF is still a no-show, so hopefully 15 DPO brings some good news.

    Hope everyone has a relaxing Labor Day holiday.

    :)

    Welcome to the board.  That is not overboard at all as far as I am concerned.
