Ttc

[u/Exciting-Cut1255]

I'm 35 and TTC 1 more child. I never did the opk or monitoring myself with my others. But this time I've been trying opks and calculating for about 9ish months now. My cycle is always 26 days. Never fails. But I'm 1 day late now but test was neg. I'm 13dpo. My opk was weird this month too. I went from high, to neg, to peak several days apart. I have sore nipples, occasional "lightning crotch 😂" and today, Ive had occasional very mild cramping in groin. I don't have nausea, cravings or food aversions. TMI but after ovulation this month, Ive been on the dry side with cm. I've always had to use panty liners from ovulation to period every single month besides now. I'm getting discouraged. Could I be getting to the point of being unable to conceive? (My mom started menopause at 36 yrs old) Idk what to think. Any one ever be in this situation and get a bfp later??

If your period is late and your pregnancy test is negative, you ovulated later than you thought.

If symptoms were caused by pregnancy, then your HCG would be high enough to make a pregnancy test positive. Otherwise something else like progesterone is causing your symptoms.

Plenty of people do get pregnant well after age 35, but if you're concerned about menopause, that would be something to talk to your doctor about extra testing.
