I would definitely use opk if you are irregular. I am 35, also, and used them because we just weren't having any luck. They definitely helped us because we were trying too hard before ovulation and over it by the time it would count...lol. I am now 19 weeks and definitely give credit to tracking with opk. I didn't do the bbt because I don't wake up at the same time daily and forget.
Cycle lengths - confused 😁
My cycles have been pretty regular since I came off BC (Mirena Coil) for 5 cycles now. Been actively TTC for 3 cycles and only the last cycle did I use opk's and do bbt.
They have been, 30, 27, 29 and 28 days with 3/4 days AF, this cycle it was only 25 days - Which I'm assuming means we ovulate at totally different CD each cycle? I had no idea that they could change each month, so I'm assuming that doing the opk's and bbt is the only real way to get a definate day of ovulation? Sorry to sound so naive at 35 but I've never really looked into all this stuff until now, when it seems so hard to get pregnant! 😁

thank you! I stressed both ways...lol. I am a mess. I was so scared of missing it we would just try way too often too soon. I have to admit I did make a fertility specialist appointment and because of that stressed less the month before I could be seen and found out I was pregnant a week after My consult. I was actually a week along at my first appointment, but was too soon to tell. Dr saw thickening of the uterus and was concerned it was the problem and set up a crap ton of test for when my period started and after. found out my uterus lining was thickening because I was pregnant. My point is...you are right to do whatever makes you stress less. it does make a difference.

Yes half of me thinks I should keep testing and checking so we have the right days but half of me thinks is this part stressing me out and should I just let it happen naturally? At 35 I feel like I need to get a move on :) Congrats by the way!
