I'm 43 years old and husband and I have been trying for 26 months. I had tubal surgery Nov 2011. We tried a year on our own (2012). Then the next year we tried different things including gonal-f shots with IUI. Nothing worked, not one positive. Then 9/13 we stopped trying, I had gained 20lbs in the last 2 years and I decided I needed to lose the extra weight before we continued. I had what I thought was my cycle 1/17 but it was very light. Then 1/28 I spotted a little and I thought that odd because I never bleed outside of my cycle and my breast were sore. So just to be safe due to a higher chance of a tubal pregnancy, I took a HPT first thing this morning. The test line was dark before it even got to the control line. I was confused at first and had to say "ok, that's the test line....and it's still there..."'
