A BFN for me, CD 33, DPO 12

I broke down this morning and did a pregnancy test with my first morning urine.  I'm 12 days past ovulation, which is a reasonable time to test, if a bit early.  It is not uncommon for HcG levels to still be too low to show up on the HPT even as late as 14 - 16 days past ovulation.  As they say, it ain't over until AF shows, but my probabilities just went way down for this month.  I was more disappointed than I thought I would be.  This is only our second month trying, and I am of "advanced maternal age."  It would be pretty amazing if we got pregnant this quickly.

Two of the women in my two week wait group posted their positive results today.  It was invigorating.  I almost feel like even if I do not get my + this month, it will still be a great month because two of us made it.  Both of them had been trying for about two months, the same as I have.  They are both younger than me, so I would expect it to take me a little longer, just from the statistics.  It gives me hope.

Besides, I have not started my period yet.  I am still in the running for this month.  Who knows what will happen?
