How long did it take you to get pregnant?

[ValidUser]

Ok, so I know I'm being ridiculous.

28. Cycle 4. I know the stats. I feel like I'll never get pregnant.

To reiterate, I know I'm being ridiculous. I just feel like nearly everyone is trying for 1 or 2 cycles and getting pregnant!

Please reassure me (or tell me about how it happened very easily).

Both were oops situations, dd1 was food poisoning at a wedding, dd2 we weren't being overly careful and had thought after a planned trip (to see relatives) we would go for it (I was 5 months pregnant on that trip!). We were either lucky or unlucky depending on your perspective - all ok in long run

DD we weren't trying and was very unexpected. Have been TTC 6 cycles now and going onto 7th. I'm starting to get impatient, but holding on. Distractions and finding new things to do helps sometimes but it is hard.

20 months in and nothing so far, not even a squinter.

Odds are in your favour OP, you'll get there xx

1 month and 5 months.

DS 1 one month.
DS 2 one month.
Incredibly, blessed I know.

DC1 (aged 27) - first month trying
2nd pregnancy (aged 30) - 3 months but ended in m/c
DC2 (aged 30) - 2 months
Fourth pregnancy (aged 36) - accidental!

To be honest, I have been very lucky. Most of my friends have had to try for a fair bit longer. Even for those who didn't have any fertility issues, 6-12 mths has seemed quite standard.

At 28 and after such a short time trying - don't panic!

DC1 15 cycles - had all the tests and no problems with either of us. Fell pregnant almost to the day that we had our first appointment at the fertility clinic!

DC2 was a happy accident. Only difference this time is I am about 4 stone lighter than last tim!

First cycle 3 times.

And 2nd cycle the 4th time as I had a crazy 87 day cycle out of the blue! But then as soon as AF came I conceived 2 weeks later.

DC1 - 2.5 years
DC2 - 11 months
DC3 - surprise (but ended in MMC)
DC4 - conceived immediately after MMC but ended in MC
2.5 year break
DC5 - 4 months, using Ovusense for one very lucky cycle (and 6 weeks pregnant now!)

I have PCOS if that is of any reference.

Good luck!

Took 3 months with my son. Then 8 months (ended in a m/c at 9 weeks). Now have been trying again for 3 months but no luck yet :(

DD1 two years
DD2 nine months
Bump 4 months 😬

4 months, had a MC in August and 7 weeks pregnant now, fingers crossed everything is ok xx

It took us 3.5yrs. Now 16 weeks pregnant. Good luck op. Hope you catch soon.
I remember crying when I got my period because I had a few signs that I had caught x

Thank you all for the replies. X

5 years but ended in miscarriage.

1st 13 months
2nd 3 years
3rd 10 months
4th 18 months
5th 2 years
6th 1 month

Big variation! All with same partner.

Dd1 pregnant on the pill and found out when I was nine weeks  dd2 first cycle off the pill before a period arrived.

Took us 7 years, thought it would never happen you name it we've tried it.
But I'm 34 weeks pregnant now, we got told we had less than 1% chance of conceiving naturally (male factor infertility)
So never give up and be kind to yourself and keep going!
Good luck xx

35 months so far... no luck as of yet! 😫🤞🏼

Fingers crossed you get your bfp in a shorter time! 💕
