How many cycles until you got your bfp??

As the title says really. I know it doesn't happen for everyone straight away but just wanted to hear how long it took to get bfp. I'm currently on cycle 3 ttc#1. Thanks :)

Cycle #2 first baby. 5 weeks along

toobreathless · 24/03/2014 21:39

Pregnancy1 unplanned, missed 2 pills, ended in ectopic pregnancy.
DD1 1 cycle
DD2 3 cycles

Despite only having one Fallopian tube after losing one with the ectopic.

pg#1 surprise (mmc)
pg#2 6 cycles after the pill.

but might have had a chemical after 3 cycles but we hadn't tested yet and then I started bleeding 4 days late.

So jealous of you all who got bfps in a few cycles!

How many cycles are in 8 years?

I'm lucky after years of infertility and failed Ivf to have two beautiful Dcs. Now aged 3 and 2.... this thread has reminded me of that after another trying day.

gembalou · 24/03/2014 20:01

3 cycles. Just got our positive today. So excited!

mylittlemonkey · 24/03/2014 19:09

PG 1 - 2 cycles
PG 2 - 1 cycle
PG 3 - 3 cycles
PG 4 - 1 cycle
PG 5 - 1 (surprise) cycle

MissHobart · 23/03/2014 19:59

PG 1 - 5 months, mc.
PG 2 - 5 months, mc.
PG 3 - still waiting, cycle 3 atm. Hmm

Moonfacesmother · 23/03/2014 16:42

I know it makes no sense.
Maybe if I'd been 20 with the first one and then had a gap of 20 years or sonething I could understand it more! I'm only 31 though.
Trying to decide whether to give up of spend another £6k on something which probably won't work.

RPopz · 23/03/2014 15:39

And yet you conceived naturally first time? Wow, what are the odds! X

Moonfacesmother · 23/03/2014 11:47

Dc1 - 1 cycle (ds now 4)
Dc2 - on cycle 18 now and had one round of failed ivf. We are apparently hopelessly infertile. Dh's sperm don't swim anywhere and my eggs are crap. We are so infertile that even ivf / icsi probably won't help us.

Elllimam · 23/03/2014 07:38

DS 3 cycles. This pregnancy (currently 23 weeks) 6 cycles. I'm 32 now so hoping the next one doesn't take longer again.

Inshock73 · 23/03/2014 07:27

You're not alone St4r i have several friends in their 20's and 30's who have been trying for 2+ years but they're not on here.

St4rfish · 23/03/2014 07:22

Still TTC #1 after 38 cycles (3+ years). In that time, 1 MMC at 12 wks after 25 cycles. All tests fine, textbook ovulation and cycle length. Facing up to IVF this year. Sorry to be negative, but just wanted to balance out all the "1-3 cycle" posts on here....

Thesimplethings · 23/03/2014 06:59

Yes naty1. We had unexplained infertility. Strange how things panned out.

m33r · 23/03/2014 06:27

Ttc #1 15 months and counting.

Florencewinifred · 22/03/2014 23:20

Pg #1 - 2 cycles (ended in mc at 4 weeks)
Dc #1 - 3 cycles
Dc #2 - 3 cycles
Dc #3 - 1 cycle
Dc #4 - 2 cycles
Dc #5 - 1 cycle
Dc #6 - 2 cycles

I know I've been incredibly fortunate. I'm now ttc #7 ! On cycle 3 but still breastfeeding so may take longer which is probably a good thing this time...

onedogatoddlerandababy · 22/03/2014 12:01

DD1 - 2 cycles age 37.
DD2 - 1 cycle, but wasn't trying, just the one unprotected shag. And at 39.

Very very lucky I know.

Amazes me how I didn't get pregnant in my twenties when my attitude to contraception was at times a little cavalier Blush

Tea1Sugar · 22/03/2014 11:50

Dd1 - None, got upduffed on the pill
Dd2 (due in 26 days :D) 2nd cycle

domoarigato · 22/03/2014 10:19

1 cycle

Same here naty and inshock! Wish I hadn't wasted so much money on condoms and morning after pills!

naty1 · 22/03/2014 10:05

I agree Inshock seems silly now that i didnt try earlier. As we have been together since age 20.
I started at 29 and all my other friend went on to easily have theirs in early thirties and now have their second ones.

keepitgoing · 22/03/2014 09:43

21 months. ivf as unexplained

Inshock73 · 22/03/2014 09:04

Everyones stats are so interesting. Growing up I had it hammered in to me from all quarters that you WILL get pregnant if you have sex without contraception! I wish someone had told me that might not be the case, I'd have tried for a family in my mid 20's!!

Devonloch · 22/03/2014 08:04

Pg 1 - 2 months (m/c)
Pg2 - 3 years (after ivf - m/c)
Still trying for #1 after 4 years. Never could have imagined this when starting out.
