Hi ladies, I’m new here and I’ve been reading through some of the other posts looking for encouragement and hope. I’m 35, will be 36 in March. My SO is a bit older than me. I want so badly to be a mom and I fear that I’m running out of time fast. Honestly didn’t really start super trying until around Halloween. Was kind of in the mindset of “It’ll happen when it’s supposed to”. But my clock is ticking and I’m scared. I was overly excited last month, because I was nearly 2 weeks late. I had very tender and sensitive breasts for about 3 weeks. And then I stopped for a day, and then had the heaviest cycle of my life (which is saying something bc I’m very heavy in general anyway), but it only lasted 2 days, then I didn’t have it for a day, then it came back kind of light for one more day. It was all very odd. But I was told I should test anyway, and I did. Then I sat in my bathroom and bawled when it was negative. I know it’s early in the trying for me to be so upset, but I was so sure for some reason. I’m looking for any advice. I’ve wanted to be a mom my entire life, but I was in situations/relationships that were not good. Now I’m afraid I’m out of time. I’m keeping up with everything on here and it says the 22nd for ovu. How often? How many days? Does position matter? Does food etc matter? Time of day? I’m just grasping at straws here. I have read that if you do it too much, it’ll decrease his sperm. 😩

Prayers appreciated too. Thanks so much ladies.
