    Welcome.

    There's a TTC After 35 board, definitely check it out and see what you think.

    Ditch the ovulation calendar (notoriously inaccurate), stick with the tests. You have to take them on consecutive days to get a positive.

    Other than that, run your plans by your ob/gyn and see what they suggest.

    I am 36 and pregnant with my first (after being on BC for 20 years!). It may take a few months to ovulate again. Also, my chart was never biphasic and I was sent to a RE to see what was going on (where we found out we are pregnant). I had recently lost 25 pounds (I am still 20 pounds overweight). Definitely quit smoking... nothing good can come from smoking. Oh, and have sex every other day :) Since my charts were so weird, and I never had a positive OPK we decided to just do that and see what happens (and we had fun with it)... and it worked. Good luck!
