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 :)

#1 37 cycles and still going ..it sucks.

Owlysims · 21/03/2014 22:43

#1 3 cycles
#2 13 cycles (currently 19 weeks pregnant)

Good luck to those still ttc ThanksThanks

DramaAlpaca · 21/03/2014 22:48

#1 10 cycles
#2 1 cycle
#3 3 cycles

No idea why it was so quick the second & third times Confused.

A friend of mine tried for 15 years with not even a hint of a bfp. Much to her shock she got pg at 44 & again at 46 so now has 2 DC she thought she'd never have.

Hope everyone trying gets a bfp soon.

DC1 - 4 months after coming off pill
DC2 - 1st cycle after taking coil out

I feel very fortunate.

weebairn · 22/03/2014 07:40

I have some friends who took 2.5 years with their first and 1 month with their second.

Inshock73 · 22/03/2014 07:44

#2 8 cycles and still ttc

Nomorepeppapig · 22/03/2014 07:51

newbiefrugalgal · 22/03/2014 07:53

#1 was 2-3 cycles
#2 fell pregnant #1 was five months not trying but no contraception either

#3 2 cycle. Ended in early mc in jan
Haven't tried again yet giving body a chance to recover

Devonloch · 22/03/2014 08:04

Pg 1 - 2 months (m/c)
Pg2 - 3 years (after ivf - m/c)
Still trying for #1 after 4 years. Never could have imagined this when starting out.

Inshock73 · 22/03/2014 09:04

Everyones stats are so interesting. Growing up I had it hammered in to me from all quarters that you WILL get pregnant if you have sex without contraception! I wish someone had told me that might not be the case, I'd have tried for a family in my mid 20's!!

keepitgoing · 22/03/2014 09:43

21 months. ivf as unexplained

naty1 · 22/03/2014 10:05

I agree Inshock seems silly now that i didnt try earlier. As we have been together since age 20.
I started at 29 and all my other friend went on to easily have theirs in early thirties and now have their second ones.

RPopz · 22/03/2014 10:08

Same here naty and inshock! Wish I hadn't wasted so much money on condoms and morning after pills!

domoarigato · 22/03/2014 10:19

1 cycle

Tea1Sugar · 22/03/2014 11:50

Dd1 - None, got upduffed on the pill
Dd2 (due in 26 days :D) 2nd cycle

onedogatoddlerandababy · 22/03/2014 12:01

DD1 - 2 cycles age 37.
DD2 - 1 cycle, but wasn't trying, just the one unprotected shag. And at 39.

Very very lucky I know.

Amazes me how I didn't get pregnant in my twenties when my attitude to contraception was at times a little cavalier Blush

Florencewinifred · 22/03/2014 23:20

Pg #1 - 2 cycles (ended in mc at 4 weeks)
Dc #1 - 3 cycles
Dc #2 - 3 cycles
Dc #3 - 1 cycle
Dc #4 - 2 cycles
Dc #5 - 1 cycle
Dc #6 - 2 cycles

I know I've been incredibly fortunate. I'm now ttc #7 ! On cycle 3 but still breastfeeding so may take longer which is probably a good thing this time...

m33r · 23/03/2014 06:27

Ttc #1 15 months and counting.

Thesimplethings · 23/03/2014 06:59

Yes naty1. We had unexplained infertility. Strange how things panned out.

St4rfish · 23/03/2014 07:22

Still TTC #1 after 38 cycles (3+ years). In that time, 1 MMC at 12 wks after 25 cycles. All tests fine, textbook ovulation and cycle length. Facing up to IVF this year. Sorry to be negative, but just wanted to balance out all the "1-3 cycle" posts on here....

Inshock73 · 23/03/2014 07:27

You're not alone St4r i have several friends in their 20's and 30's who have been trying for 2+ years but they're not on here.

Elllimam · 23/03/2014 07:38

DS 3 cycles. This pregnancy (currently 23 weeks) 6 cycles. I'm 32 now so hoping the next one doesn't take longer again.

Moonfacesmother · 23/03/2014 11:47

Dc1 - 1 cycle (ds now 4)
Dc2 - on cycle 18 now and had one round of failed ivf. We are apparently hopelessly infertile. Dh's sperm don't swim anywhere and my eggs are crap. We are so infertile that even ivf / icsi probably won't help us.

RPopz · 23/03/2014 15:39

And yet you conceived naturally first time? Wow, what are the odds! X
