I conceived first month with ds and I was 34 I'm now nearly 37 and am having no luck. Just wondered how everyone else did as I'm starting to worry my eggs may be fried!

I have PCOS and DH has very low sperm count.
I took us 11 cycles (no treatments), started when I was 26, got BFP at 27.

3andnomore · 06/09/2007 17:27

oh, with ms I was 31 when I fell pg and with ys I was 33

3andnomore · 06/09/2007 17:26

Hm,
with es I was 25, we had started trying in march, I think, I had fallen pg, but had a m/c in the July, and fell for es in september! So, both times reasonable quick.

after es we tried straight away again, when es was 2.3 years I fell pg, but had another loss...we decided to stop trying for a while.

in Oct./Nov. 2001 we started to ttc again, (but then dh was away for a couple of month) and I found out I was pg again in march 2002....I had fallen pg the day of his return from Belize...I knew I was at the right time, and all that saved up sperm and the time away must have helped a lot ;) (tmi I suppose)

in October 2003 we decided to ttc for #3 and I found out I was pg around x-mas 2003

DaphneHarvey · 06/09/2007 17:24

9 months with DD (age 37)
