And your age?

Me and DH thinking of trying for baby #2 soon.

We are both mid 20s and were very lucky to conceive on the first cycle with DS. Very easy pregnancy with no issues.

DH seems to think it will be as easy as last time but I'm so worried about experiencing secondary infertility - I know no one can tell the future so it's nothing we can really plan for!

I had two in my twenties and conceived first month with both.

TheWitchersWife · 28/05/2021 17:36

DS1, second cycle.
DS2, said we'd start trying when first DS turned one, had the the positive test 26 days after his birthday!
Everyone's different. We were also mid twenties but I am carrying more weight than I should.

DS - 18 months with fertility drugs at age 35

I got pregnant on the first go with my 1st Daughter (I was 27).

When I was 29 I got pregnant first time again, but it ended in a miscarriage. Got pregnant again 3 months later, ended in another miscarriage.

4 months later, I got pregnant again and finally had my 2nd Daughter!

NeedCoffeeToSurvive · 28/05/2021 22:28

I'm 25, partner is 30, took us 4 months of trying to conceive our 2nd.

BetsyBigNose · 28/05/2021 23:53

holb54 · 29/05/2021 10:21

Only took one month to conceive, I was 24 and fiance 31. Did plan it and tracked ovulation with tests, was also just very lucky! Will be curious to see how it goes the second time when we do plan again

Getawriggleon · 29/05/2021 10:28

First cycle with both at 35 and 38.

OliviaOctonaut · 29/05/2021 10:38

#1: age 33, first cycle
#2: age 35, first cycle
#3: age 38, surprise!!

ConsuelaHammock · 29/05/2021 10:59

Age 32- 11 months and one Mc for number 1 . I had secondary infertility with number 2 . Starting
ttc for number 2 when number 1 was 12 months old. They were 4 when number 2 arrived. It was a heartbreaking journey.
Tried for number 3 but it didn’t happen.

CourtAndSpark2 · 29/05/2021 10:59

First, at trying at 32, took 3 years
Second, a wonderful accident at 39

cheeseisnice · 29/05/2021 11:34

1st pregnancy - teenager - no contraception, just stupid. Ended in a miscarriage.

2nd pregnancy - aged 21. Conceived with contraception failure. I terminated.

3rd pregnancy - aged 29. Conceived first cycle. DD is now 10.

4th pregnancy - aged 32. Conceived third cycle. DS is now 7.

5th pregnancy - aged 34. Conceived after DH's vasectomy failed. DD is now 5.

Marriage ended.

6th pregnancy. Conceived in one night. I terminated.

7th pregnancy. Conceived in one month. Ended in miscarriage.

8th pregnancy. Conceived third cycle. Now 8 weeks pregnant. I'm 41. 🙈

I seem to get pregnant just by hanging my coat next to a man's. On one hand I feel extremely lucky, on the other I feel like I should just stop having sex now before I end up like the old lady that lived in a shoe.

Catra · 29/05/2021 11:40

Aged 38. 4th cycle. TFMR. Sad
Aged 39. 1st cycle. DD is now 3.

cookiecreampie · 29/05/2021 11:52

DC1 took 1 cycle, DC2 took 12 cycles, DC3 took 13 cycles. DC4 took 1 cycle.

cookiecreampie · 29/05/2021 11:54

And I was aged 20, 25, 27 and 29

Hesma · 29/05/2021 12:44

1 month every time

Sillawithans · 29/05/2021 13:04

I got pregnant very quickly with my first, then I had my second 10 months later. First was a boy, he's 14 now, 15 end of July. My second was a girl and she'll be 14 next week, so they'll be the same age for almost 2 months. There's 15 months between my second a third. I'm not sure how long we were TTC as we weren't and I had to go for a scan to see how far along I was.

Passthewinebottle · 29/05/2021 13:07

Age:
25 - 16 months,
28 - 6 months,
32 - happy accident Wink

baldafrique · 29/05/2021 13:15

Its meaningless as some couples have sex very infrequently and some are at it like rabbits!

Tobebythesea · 29/05/2021 13:25

DC1, I was 31, first cycle on honeymoon Grin

DC2, 34, first cycle, miscarriage at 7 weeks

DC3, 34, third cycle, miscarriage at 7 weeks

DC4, 35, fourth cycle, now nearly 2 years old now.
