Hi...

I am currently in my first month of TTC. I was on the contraceptive pill before this and I have had one period. I use an App to track when I should be ovulating and believe I just did last week. I DTD 4/6 days of ovulating...

I just want to see what other people's experience with how quickly they conceived.

I am 21 years old and healthy.

Thanks

Those of you who have been trying for 2+years and then unfortunately had an MC...how do you keep going? I ask because I'm coming up to my 2 years now...if I had a MC after all this time waiting I think it would destroy me. You're incredible ladies xx

I'm 31 (30 when we started TTC). Took us 6 months, then we had an early miscarriage, then got pregnant again straight away. Was starting to get nervous about fertility after the six months but then we conceived two cycles in a row... You just never know!

ForeverHopeful21 · 29/05/2017 08:59

sk1pper sometimes I'm not sure how I've gotten through it to be honest. Getting pregnant after 2.5 years of trying was a dream come true, so for it to end in MC was beyond devastating. It's hard when people say "well you can just try again" as if it's as easy as that!

I told my my GP that I can't TTC for another 2.5 years for it to end again, and I've FINALLY been referred to the fertility clinic so that's giving me hope. I have an amazing husband and 2 fur-babies who keep me spirits up, but it is hard. I hope you get your baby soon xxx

Sk1pper I found it extremely hard to go on after my mc. I was at the 2 year mark when I conceived so to then lose the baby was a huge devastating blow. As the months have went on it's got a little easier. Family member announced she's pregnant accidentally and fell right after I lost my baby which was a big shock.

I'm scheduled for IUI for unexplained infertility around end of July/august to that's what I'm focusing on now.

Age 23 - conceived DS on cycle 2 after pill (only one natural af)
Age 26 - ttc #2 and am on cycle 4 atm

minniebear · 29/05/2017 14:09

First month both times-we were very lucky!

WhatwouldRuthdo · 29/05/2017 14:14

Age 31, DC1 - 7 months
Age 34, DC2 - 1 month
No difference in my health or weight. I expected DC2 to take a year for some reason, probably because I was older so the BFP was a bit of a shock. I know I was very lucky. It's not something you can predict easily.

JadeC96 · 29/05/2017 14:25

Thank you everyone for the responses. I'm loving hearing other people's experiences. My test is in 7 days, fingers crossed! I'm so excited for whenever it will happen, I hope it this time!⭐️♥️

@JadeC96 I'm due to test in 7 days also 😊

MissWilmottsGhost · 29/05/2017 14:32

7 years + IVF.

Sometimes life does not go to plan.

Crunchyside · 29/05/2017 14:33

About 2 weeks after giving up the pill both times. In my 20s.

JadeC96 · 29/05/2017 14:45

@LoveRainbow02 fingers crossed and good luck🍀💕

I was 26 with first, took one month.

28 with second, took 2 months after I'd come off mini pill.

*Hi everyone.

I took a test today and got a BFN.
It was not my first wee of the day and I did take a clear blue early detection test and my period is due in 6 days.

Do you think this could still be a false negative?

I have had pains in my pelvic area like a constant period pain for a few days and my nipples have been sore to touch.

@JadeC96 I would test again closer to when your period is due or if you miss your period. False negatives are common if done too early.

amousehaseatenmypaddlingpool · 30/05/2017 14:36

33 - 18 months. Had to wait for pill to fully leave my system.

Good luck OP!

JadeC96 · 30/05/2017 14:56

@LoveRainbow02 the negative was a very strong line. I will retest next week if my period is missed. Xx

25 - I was on the pill but the contraception failed in December. It was a bit of a shock but I'm so excited for my babies to arrive soon (twin pregnancy).

Good luck!

(Also I would resist testing again until your period is missed)

miraflores81 · 30/05/2017 17:40

20 months! Age 35 "unexplained infertility" was just about to start ivf! It happened a month after hsg so wonder if that had something to do with it(although my tubes were fine)

MrsCharlieD · 30/05/2017 18:58

I'm 33 and had ds at 30 after 4 years of trying. Currently 20 weeks with ds2 and he took 7 months of ttc. No reason why second time took so much less, just one of those things.

Jadey21 · 29/07/2017 14:30

@MotherofBoy have you been successful yet? ❤️

summerson · 29/07/2017 14:35

2.5 years and one round of IVF
