How long were you TTC and how old were you?

How old are you OP?

I started TTC age 32. Still TTC 9yrs on and 3 losses later. Not the norm at all, but can happen.

I have a good egg count, very regular periods, no endo, PCOS, DH has good sperm count and no cause for infertility found other than being old eggs!

Started trying at 29, took two years and two rounds of treatment to get pregnant. Second time got pregnant first month. No rhyme or reason!

First cycle both times. Age 31 and 34.

Didn’t really ‘try’ with my 3 children. I was aged 27, 29, and 32 when I had them and just stopped the pill and was pregnant within 2-3 months. No tracking or dtd more. Just not using protection anymore.

Now at age 37 (nearly 38) with a new partner, we’ve been ttc 10 months with one mc at 9 weeks and 2 chemicals.

My age definitely seems to be playing a big part this time. Getting pregnant doesn’t seem to be an issue, but hanging onto it does.

Good luck!

Started at 31, got pregnant first cycle but had an early loss (around 60% of first pregnancies end in miscarriage so now surprising, a statistic I found comforting) waited two cycles (1 for my body to readjust, 1 cause it was Christmas and I thought I’ll have a drink and not worry this one) 3 cycles of trying, got pregnant on the 3rd. That was the first month we used OPKs as well as BBT and I think that’s what helped us pinpoint the right days. Now 21 weeks pregnant.

So a reasonably easy ride. Do remember that all those who don’t have much trouble conceiving don’t really say much about it, it’s those who do that will seek more help and advice and that will skew how it looks to an outsider.

I conceived without trying at 22 and then after 6 months of trying at 28.

I conceived straight away aged 35
Straight forward easy pregnant and birth

And I’m sorry if that sounds like a stealth boast to people who have struggled it’s really not I appreciate we are v lucky and think fertility problems must be awful but I do think it’s important for people to be aware that it can happen quicker than expected too, it certainly did for us :)

Weeks, I was 23 and again when I was 25. I had my third when I was 40. Couldn't believe it. Still don't understand how as I was on the same birth control for 15 years. No idea of the time scale on that one.

I conceived in the first month at ages 27,29 and 38 and it took 5 months at age 33

I have two children and have never tried for them! First was a surprise (v happy accident) second we decided on our anniversary night to start trying for number two, BFP 2 weeks later. We are v v lucky to have had two very easy successful pregnancies and healthy babies but it does often happen v easily!

Btw I tend not to comment on these types of threads as I know I had it easy. Generally you will hear more about people who have had trouble TTC as they have more reason to reach out for support.

We started 3 months earlier than we wanted to get pregnant as thought it would take 6-12 months if no problems.

Conceived dd1 on first cycle and dd2 on second. You won't know until you try but there's every chance you'll conceive quickly.
