How long did it take you to concieve?

[charliecat]

My sisters 25, healthy and has been trying since before Xmas, shes going to ask me to ask this sooner or later so I thought I would go one step ahead and ask now!

Ages, about 4 years, 13 months on clomid, two miscarriages and an ectopic pg later I have a beautiful 7month ds. It was all with it. :)

ds - 4 years.
ds now 3.8 - so, so far for no 2 - 3.7 years

Hi Charliecat.

'Normal' couples have around a 25% chance of conceivng every month. Basically it's a lottery, but health professionals won't even consider seeing you before you've been trying for a year - especially if you're 25 and healthy.

If she asks you for advice, send her over here! This site is gold-dust if you're TTC.

DD1 - 9 months
DD2 - first time of trying was a bit of a thought it would take as long again!

DS: 13 months, currently been trying for no 2 since May of last year.

Agree with Hopecat, most doctors etc won't even investigate if a couple has been trying for less than a year. 4 months of trying isn't that long in the grand scheme of things.

4 years and then twins came along

after i had ds2 (he was number 4) i had depo prevera injection.i bled for 12 weeks on it,and gp refused to give me it again.i had no af after that for 18 months,then spent another 2 years trying for dd.that depo really messed up my insides.

Ds- 3 months after coming of pill.

Dd- 5 months after a miscarriage.

ds - while I was on the pill - following a gastric flu. Born 02/1994
dd took 3 weeks from deciding we would try to looking at a + test Born 10/2002

Had an ectopic in 11/04 - had been trying since January 03.
And have been trying ever since for that elusive number 3.....

Her age is on her side, both for conceiving naturally and/or if they failed to conceive for getting help in time.

13 months then missed m/c then 12 months (clomid + ovitrelle) to conceive dd who is now 12 wks old

In the Boots magazine a while ago it said this:-

Out of 100 couples trying to concieve naturally
20 will concieve within 1 month
70 will concieve within 6 months
85 will concieve within a year
90 will concieve within 18 months
95 will concieve within 2 years

HTH

Ds took 1 month.

About 10 minutes

bump took 3 months (after coming off the pill)

Im 27 dh is 29

ds who is 20 months old took 6 months to conceive
Trying for number 2 just having af at the minute first month off the pill

Both mine at first attempt after coming off pill.

dd about 8 months, this pregnancy, first time of trying and i still havent got over the shock!

With DD, Dh and I were 26 when we first started TTC. We went 15 months than had an early mc. Then took same length of time again before concieving with DD. When we TTC for #2 we went 18 months with no glimmer of success and ended up calling it quits.We didn't have any tests or treatment in that time. Would have been next step if we had have continued.

aged 34 - 7 months

aged 36 - 2 months

aged 38 - by accident

concieved on the 3rd month, aged 19

First month with both ds's, I was 23 with ds1 and 24 with ds2.

ds1 - 1yr aged 20

ds2 - 18mths proper trying, but didn't go back on pill after ds1 (4yr age gap). Fell pregnant after 2 cycles using Persona. Best £75 ever spent

ds - 5 months, including m/c after 2 months, Aged 27.

jmum I didn't know you could have more than six months of clomid - this is encouraging for me.

peachygirl I think i am in that 5% at the end!!

Took us nearly 5 years ttc first...
....nearly 10 months so far for second.......
