Ladies over 35- how long did it take you to conceive?

We are trying for our first and going into the 6th month. Each cycle adds a little more anxiety. I'm 35 and have never been pregnant. DH also has no children. Using ovulation kits and BBT.

I was wondering how many cycles it took you to conceive when you were over 35. Especially a first pregnancy. I know everyone is different but it helps to hear other people's stories.

I tried for my second at 35 and got pregnant immediately

I started trying for my first baby on my 35th birthday. I conceived first attempt to my surprise! With my second I was 37. I think I tried for around 8 months. There was at least one, maybe 2, very early miscarriage but I had a healthy pregnancy eventually. I gave birth to me second when I was 38.

I don't think this thread will help you op. Beware of it making you feel shite ❤️

You will get a wide variety of answers because there are a wide variety of possibilities.

8 months and ended in a MMC, although likely the first few months we didn't know what we were doing as I didn't track ovulation to begin with.

First try at 35 and 37, I know we are incredibly lucky though and this rarely happens

Not first pregnancy but got pregnant at 37 first try. At 43 on the 3rd cycle..
