How old were you when you first TTC?

Did you do anything to prep before?

I got pregnant at 31, 36 and 37 on first try each time. No prep except folic acid that was in my multi vitamins anyway.

20

Yep, no special prep needed!

30. Took folic acid used the odd ovulation stick. Took about a year the first time.

2nd time I was 33 and not particularly planned (a Sunday morning quickie).

30, I used ovulation sticks.

27 - I took folic acid and weaned myself off antidepressants a few weeks before we started properly trying.

23, folic acid, stopped the pill.

37, no
Had a baby 10 months later

I came off the depo when I was 25 the month I got married. Wasn't actively TTC, 26 when I found out I was pregnant and 27 when I had my first. Didn't prep for it. But the midwife did start me on folic acid.

I was 19. I just needed to escape my home life. Best thing I ever did (not that I would advocate that for my own daughter). Had my second daughter 8 years later. Still with DH and we have a great life together.

32
Stopped pill.
Started folic acid.
Pregnant 1st month.

PS: you should add a poll 😉

37.5 and conceived after 6 months.

29, ensured I was a healthy weight and I can't remember if I started folic acid or not. I conceived first month.

Posted too soon! Took conception vitamins, Angus castus and used ovulation sticks.

25 - had him at 25 also
27 - not planned this time but I'll be 28 when baby is born

Done after this

24

29 with first DS

34, didn't do any prep

I was 28. Conceived first month of trying but had a chemical pregnancy. Had a month break, then conceived my daughter the following month. We were very lucky.

I’d been tracking ovulation for ages beforehand though, initially to help prevent pregnancy and then in preparation for TTC. I love data and it made me feel like I was being productive! I was also taking pregnacare before I fell pregnant but only because I take a multivitamin anyway so I thought I might as well. I had intended to lose some more weight, but that didn’t happen. My BMI was below 30 though, so the midwives weren’t fussed.

Mid twenties. Took folic acid.
