Good luck TTC! I am 37 years old now and TTC my second. This is our first cycle. I have about a 36 day cycle. I used the clear blue advanced opk and got a solid smiley (lh surge) on the 19th of September. Now I am in the waiting period hoping it takes. If I were you, I would try not to focus too much on early pregnancy symptoms. I think it will just psych you out and delay your period if its due which can lead to even more disappointment. I wish you luck!

Heather I hear you about not focusing on any little thing. I have backed off a lot and just going through my days as normal but still charting my temps and adding symptoms just so I have something to distinguish between each month. I am due for my period on October 3 or 4. there was a month that I obsessed about it so much my cycle was 33 days long and I am pretty sure it is normally 29-30. So I definitely hear ya on that. I will see what happens next week with AF and whether she shows up for the party :)

Thanks for your reply! It is nice to have people to talk to about this that are also trying. Good luck in your ttc journey :)
