34 year old trying to get pregnant

I’m 34, I’m trying for the first time to get pregnant. I’m in my 2nd month of trying.

I don’t know anything haha

I’m supposed to get my period tomorrow, last night I started spotting, I put in a mini pad over night, I woke up but there is nothing on the mini pad, when I wipe, the spotting is still there.

I have cramping, not like regular period cramps, different.

I know the only thing to do is wait to see if I get my period tomorrow and take a test, but if anyone has tips, for a woman who feels ancient that would be great :)
