As the title says really. I know it doesn't happen for everyone straight away but just wanted to hear how long it took to get bfp. I'm currently on cycle 3 ttc#1. Thanks :)

TTC 1- 3 or 4 cycles

Really think we will stick with one, DH however disagrees

NewlymrsB · 20/03/2014 15:27

#1 - 2 cycles

Ttc # 1
9m till tests for thyroid - negative. Then blood tests for 3 cycles and SA done referred to clinic 1.5 years , 2 yr 4mth successful icsi baby born 3 yrs and 1 month after starting ttc.
Ttc #2
Thyroid and other tests put on thyroxine. 5m wait for icsi which was unsuccessful so onto round 2 for baby 2.
At about 9m currently in total

It takes on average 3m to get pg but can take 2 years.

1st cycle for both, so very fortunate I know. Hoping no. 3 will be as stress free but we're 10 years down the line now. X

RPopz · 20/03/2014 18:40

6th cycle and counting ttc #1. Not sure if that's a long time or not but the statistic "majority conceive in 3 months" really panics me :-( I'm 28 and DH is 33

MyNameIsKenAdams · 20/03/2014 18:44

Dd - two cycles
Preg #2 - (unsuccessful) - 4 cycles
This preg - 1 cycle. Dtd twice that month two. Must have just happened to be the right days.

2kidsintow · 20/03/2014 18:45

pg1 - 1 month
pg2 - 1 month
pg3 - 2 months
DD1 - 1 month
DD2 - 2 months

eurochick · 20/03/2014 20:14

To post from the other end of the spectrum:

pg#1 (mc) - cycle 28 of ttc
pg#2 (still going as far as I know) - cycle 38 of ttc

Both were IVF. We are "unexplained" - no test has ever shown any reason why we were not getting pregnant.

Dc1 surprise
Dc2 4 months
Mc surprise
Dc3 2 months
Dc4 surprise
Mc 1 month
Pregnant again without having an af after my chemical so fingers crossed.

First time round it was 5 years so, what... say 50? 55?

Second time round 1. Shock (Different father though and much as my ex made out it was my fault & stupidly I bought it, I'm starting to think it wasn't - I never did see his sperm test results which he just said were all fine... Hmm)

7.... Felt like 107 Confused

Thesimplethings · 20/03/2014 20:48

Dc1 took 8 years and two failed Ivf treatments before I finally fell pregnant the cycle after our last failed Ivf.

Dc2 was a surprise when dc1 was 6 months old.

naty1 · 20/03/2014 21:07

Thesimplethings - were you unexplained infertility?

cookielove · 20/03/2014 21:41

Skiingmaniac · 20/03/2014 21:44
