A couple of things

in TTC after 35

Hello everyone.  I don't write much, I mostly just read your postings and find them informational and helpful.  I haven't been doing this for too long, even though it seems like I have, so I don't feel like I have too much to offer at this point.

 That being said, I do have a couple of things.  I saw an OB/GYN for the first time last week, recommended by my primary care.  She was awesome and I am so thankful for someone I feel comfortable with.  She seemed very confident that this would happen for us soon.  She wants me to chart my temperature and buy an ovulation kit this next cycle.  Just to be clear, when I starting temping in my next cycle I start the first day of my period, right?  And I know I have to do it before I get out of bed each morning.  And then as far as the ovulation test, when I get a positive that means I should ovulate in the next 24-36 hours from what I understand.  She recommended that we have sex every other day from days 6-20 of my cycle. 

I'm due to get AF tomorrow.  I feel like I have no symptoms of pregnancy or AF, even though I lean toward the thought I'm going to get AF, probably so that I won't be too disappointed if that is actually what does happen.  I'm a lot less anxious this month than I was last month.  I started reading a book called "The Pregnant Women's Guide to Getting Pregnant".  It was recommended by a woman from this site. It's awesome! I highly recommend it.

 Sorry for the length of this post.  Wishing success for all of you ladies!

    Welcome.   I think that what you said about temping and OPK sounds accurate (there is a bump glossary accessible in left lower corner of your screen, under community heading)  Good luck!
