I'm 32, I have been TTC since July, I had a chemical in August and today AF arrived and feeling really gutted.

Out of curiosity, how long did you take to take to conceive, and how old were/are you?

I'm feeling as if my age is going to be a problem here Confused

I'm still going. Am on cycle 4 now but have been actively trying for 5 months. I seem to be all kinds of messed up since stoping the pill - irregular cycles, not even clear if I'm ovulating despite charting BBT. I'm 31, normal BMI of 21, no health issues apart from I have IBS, DH is 29.

AnonymousXXIX · 29/09/2020 17:18

On cycle 8 of ttc, 29, healthy bmi, don't smoke etc. etc. but no luck so far : (

Was on pill for 15 years without any issues but cycles came back regular (albeit on the short side) straight away after stopping.

Whilstwewait · 29/09/2020 17:08

Cycle 14 for us. Had all the tests done no issues at all with either of us. It is really just luck of the draw if no issues. I'd say be prepared that it may take a year and try not to worry i drove my self insane. X

5 years. Had dc at 32. Had a miscarriage 4 years later.

Purpleflowers21 · 29/09/2020 16:59

Hi guys. I’ve just finished my final pill and waiting for AF to finish in the next few days then we’ll be TTC! I’m 30 and have been on the pill for approx 12 years so no idea what my cycles will be like x

Asher90 · 29/09/2020 16:29

Hi Guys, first pregnancy, very overweight and pregnant first cycle.
2nd pregnancy, 27, overweight and first try again.
Am now 30 and have just had withdrawal bleed from copper coil, hoping my baby luck continues Wink

India999 · 29/09/2020 15:47

Babydust13 · 29/09/2020 15:42

We've been trying since last September so a year now but I've had two miscarriages this year one in February and one in June I'm currently 6 weeks pregnant again now 🤞🏼

blodyn91 · 29/09/2020 15:39

4th cycle off pill at 29 (currently 12weeks pregnant)

chillyfields · 29/09/2020 15:09

I'm 32 and we've been trying since April. No health issues that I know of and healthy BMI.

I feel your pain though, I was pretty crazy after the first couple cycles, now I'm bleeding bonkers! No idea how I'll survive many more cycles if I don't get a BFP soon 😭

TheDaydreamBelievers · 29/09/2020 15:05

Sorry should add I am healthy, only v slightly into overweight category. Not even sure I ovulated in cycle 1. Also meant to type 5 weeks not 6 weeks.

beachbum85 · 29/09/2020 15:05

I'm 34, on cycle 16, and have never had a BFP.
I wouldn't worry about your age at all Smile

TheDaydreamBelievers · 29/09/2020 15:03

Both 31yrs old, 6 months but only cycle 2 in (they were super long and messed up after pill). Only 6 weeks so cant confirm if itll be sticky yet

Juno231 · 29/09/2020 14:32

I'm 32, 9 cycles in (about to start #10!) and no sign of any BFPs here unfortunately!

Lozz22 · 29/09/2020 13:38

15 years and then all 4 ended in miscarriages and since my last one 9 months and still no sign of falling Pregnant any time soon

happymummy12345 · 29/09/2020 13:32

I stopped taking the pill in the July and conceived in the November. So 4 months. I was 21.

Lisa78Lemon · 29/09/2020 13:22

29, healthy, normal BMI
Took 5 months and I was going bloody crazy by the end of it! Gave me so much sympathy for those who struggle to conceive.

Workerbee80 · 29/09/2020 13:14

3 months, I was 31.

Yamaya · 29/09/2020 13:08

I got pregnant first attempt at 30 and at 32

Bingobongo1 · 29/09/2020 13:06

4 years was 25 when I had dc.

Livingmagicallyagain · 29/09/2020 13:01

Age 31, first try.
Age 38, first try.
Age 41, first try.
I was hypothyroid for a while age 40 so that caused issues, easily solved.

ellenpartridge · 29/09/2020 12:58

It took 2 months with our first at age 30.

Currently pregnant this time it's taken 18 months with one 12 week MMC along the way. I'm now 34.

HAB86 · 29/09/2020 12:57

1st time took 12mths, I was 30, ended in miscarriage.
2nd time took 3mths, I was 31, healthy baby.
3rd time took 4mths, I was 33, ended in miscarriage.
4th time took 3mths, I’m 33 (will be 34 when baby arrives), still keeping my fingers crossed, 11wks pregnant!

polkadotpixie · 29/09/2020 12:56

12 cycles, aged 32/33

Actively trying with OPKS/BBT/PreSeed/Vitamins etc

AMS19 · 29/09/2020 12:56

@sausagebap88 I'm 32 too and about to start!! I reckon age wise we are fine, it just takes a while regardless of age I guess.

Are you doing any ovulation tracking?
