How old is too old

So I have a 9 month old baby and really really want another. I'm 35 so want to do it kinda quickly. I didn't have the best but certainly not the worst pregnancy. Am I getting too old? Any other mom's have multiple babies after 35??

Late period

I had unprotected sex during ovulation a few days before getting my IUD and now my period is late. Only worried because I’ve seen the horror stories of women getting pregnant with the IUD but I’m not too worried rn.

6 dpo and had a negative test this morning. What is the earliest you can test positive for pregnancy or do I wait until I miss my period to test again?

I’ve been feeling extremely emotional the past couple days and I am praying this is not PMS.

Cancelled cycle - low follicles

We are potentially having to cancel our cycle before egg collection as my scan today showed only 1 follicle and 2 smaller follicles. Not the result anyone wants and had devastated us.

Could these be faulty tests?

5th - nothing on test but feel like I could see a very very faint shadow put it down to negative because of line eyes 🤷🏼‍♀️ Yesterday - felt like I had a very very faint line but felt like it was more visible to eye Today - come up a positive but line doesn’t look right? I’ll leave pics of each day in comments…

Real or evap??

I’ve had an evap line on a clear blue before so I never really trust them, but I’ve done 3 and they all look like this! I’m 8dpo (these are early response tests) does this look positive?
