Conception

[frog1]

Hi All,

I'm 30 and have been trying to conceive since end of Sept. I was taking Cerezette for about 6 months and the other pills for around 10 years plus. Am I wrong to be worried that nothings happended straight away? It makes you wonder when people fall very early and some whilst taking the pill.

Until you have been ttc for a year there is no concern (well that is what the medic might say!) bu that doesn't stop us hopeful mums to be worrying.

I've been ttc since August and wasn't taking the pill.

Good Luck

Hi Frog I agree with Star - anything up to 12 to 18 months is "normal" (whatever that means!) I think the NHS won't start to be concerned until after 2yrs given you are only a spritely 30!

It doesn't stop it being mahoosively frustrating for you though; I do hope you get your BFP very soon

I was on cerazette for about 18 months, been TTC for 12 months no joy. Heard that lots of women who conceive early after being on cerazette MC and other women have long time TTC (one women we knew was 2 years). Dunno if there's any formal research (GP certainly didn't warn me!). Good luck anyway, just try to relax! My GP has started ball rolling with bloods tests/ sperm testing (DH LOVED that!) but didn't seem unduly worried - most women TTC do within 1 year (80%) and 90% within 18 months apparently. Hope it's good news all round soon!

There's only a 25% of conception if you have sex at the right time, are both young fit and healthy. It's normal for it to take a year or two. Try not to worry unduly.

I'm in the exact same situation - am 30 as well, and have been off the pill since early August and just found out today it didn't happen last cycle either. It's hard and I am starting to get frustrated, but am trying to be positive. I have friends who have taken longer than 6 months so don't feel too worried yet, just dissapointed

I'm nearly 30 (NYE) and have 3yr old. It took 14 months and a miscarriage to conceive her. I have no fertility issues, was mid twenties, teetotal, fit and healthy, ditto dh.

It's normal for it to take up to a couple of years in a healthy, fertile couple. Give it a little while yet. Really the process of getting pregnant should be enjoyable. I know why you worry, because you want it so much but it's actually less common to get pregnant straight away. As I said earlier, the odds are against you.
