Try not getting my hopes up

[NoLuckYet]

Last month I had things happen that never did before - really sore breasts, bad bloating, tired and nauseous. I was late and thought I was pregnant, but the tests (even a blood one) were all negative. Then my period was FOUR DAYS LATE!!!! I was SO crushed. I usually NEVER have PMS symptoms, but must of had the mother load last time!
Now I am four days before my period, been lightheaded, dizzy, hungry like mad, nauseous when I don't eat soon enough and running to the bathroom a lot. Breasts have been hurting, but it is subsiding now. Is it too soon to test ( ovulated 11 days ago)? I don't want to be crushed AGAIN - Been trying for NINE MONTHS. Just turned 35 and heard that chances start to drop for getting pregnant at this age. I need some HOPE.

Hey don't worry dear!

I'm in the same boat. Trying to resist testing as I do not want to get crushed if AF shows up. I'm 15DPO today. I shall wait one more week before I test. Every mild cramp I get, I feel so worried that it could be AF!!!

I'm 31 and half. Don't worry about the age, thats an additional stress factor you are adding while TTC. I personally know one of my friend, she had her 1st baby boy at 35 and recently last year she had her 2nd baby boy at 40!!! Both are as healthy as they can be. So don't worry at all. Do all you can, eat healthy and maintain a good life style. That's all we could do right?

Lots of baby dust to you. Keep us posted! This wait is killing me.

I am younger and ttc, but we all still have the same feelings when it comes to the
No testing before 12dpo for me.
I know with age the chances drop. But just remember it can and will happen
Stay positive!

I am great full for the encouragement - my AF is due next Wednesday and I will wait a full week after that before I test - just in case AF just comes late. Thanks for wishing me luck!
