I was just like you! Age 42, used the ovulation test strips and got prego on the same day it said I was ovulating! I took home pregency tests a week later, it came up negative. I took about 20 test that month, all negative, but I just knew I was prego. Finally, the day I was suspose to have my period (not late yet) I took another test and it was positive! I have a beautiful, very healthy 11 month old baby girl! So keep trying and don't give up hope and don't beleive the home test if it says negative, it may just be too soon yet. Those ovulation test strips really work!!!! Good luck.
