Hi Shirley,
1. All signs say you are pregnant.
2. Yes if you are 16 days late it's time to have a test.
3. The difference in age has no effect at all (as long as
he is young healthy & fertile).
4. On a gross average the chances of a couple to be
pregnant are 20% (per each cycle). However that's
the average and a couple can "help" the statistics (in
the way you mentioned). And as per every average
there is a percentage above averge (same below).
5. The psychology has also an important effect (some
will argue it): Be calm, leave the stress aside, trust,
love and let mother nature do the rest. When a
person is under stress the body creates a hurmon
(It's name is Sorbitol, if my memory serves me well)
that causes a whole range of bad things (e.g:
decreases self immune system). Refer to D"r Drahama
Singh's book: "Brain Longevity"...... Warn you it's a
900 p book....... ).
I feel you are craving to get pregnenat so I wish you best of sucsess !.
P.S. - I have a very strong intuition. It never miss-lead
me. It tells me you get pregnant now !. Will you
please let me know if my intuition was right ?
