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!

contraceptive accident with DS1, wasn't even vaguly thinking about kids, was 21

first cycle with DD was 32

first cycle with DS2 was 34

think I am quite tuned in with my cycle though and know when I am ovulating etc

DD - 15 months, early mc, then another 14/15 months. Was 29 when DD was born, was 26 when first started TTC.

Have not managed to have second. Have tried on and off for past 3 years. Recently found out I have fertility issues due to medical problems following my c section, and other medical issue probably from beyond that. I am 34 now. Now I am having surgery (first one last Friday, next in 3 months) - who knows???

Having read through it does seem completely random.

How long have you been trying cookies?

TheDuchessOfNorksBride · 06/09/2007 16:04

First cycle each time, first at 27, last at 36.

ruddynorah · 06/09/2007 15:57

age 25, conceived at first attempt.

snowbirdonice · 06/09/2007 15:52

1st month with ds1 age 37 and 1st month again when I was 39, but m/c. I know younger women who have had probelms and older ones who have conceived straight away, so I wonder if the relationship with age is quite as staight forward as we're lead to believe

diplodocus · 06/09/2007 15:47

3 months age 42 - really lucky!

primigravida · 06/09/2007 15:30

sweetkitty · 06/09/2007 15:19

DD1 (I was 28) 9 months
DD2 (29) 1 month
Also had mc which took 1 month to conceive that baby as well at age 31

Brangelina · 06/09/2007 15:18

I was 38 and it took me 9 cycles, although TBH I was poorly for one of them and away on business for another, so probably more like 7 cycles.

ScoobyDooooo · 06/09/2007 15:18

I was 19 & 24.
