I had a period and was pregnant just like Sheryl333. I was pregnant already but have since learned that it might have. Been implantation bleeding, which occurs around the same time as your period. I sometimes have light periods so it  was no different but I will assume that is what it was. I am ttc as well. My husband is 40 and I am 31 and we have been trying for nine months now.
When I got married to him Imoved 500 miles to be with home so stress can change your ovulation. My period is like clockwork until I moved. I have not missed a period but the date changes. I am now two days late according to my calendar tracking but it was an average length of a cycle. I think I might still have my period but just waiting. I had a negative test two days before but it happened last time I was pregnant. I got negative tests and my period... but I have a baby from it! Good luck to everyone
