How long did it take for people to conceive for their first pregnancy?

[Ilovejake]

Hi all! My husband and I have decided to start trying, I’m 24 and this is our first time! How long did it take for everyone? I understand it’s different for every person but I love hearing people’s stories!

First one at 32 years first month trying
Second one at 34 years not really even trying but first time without contraception.
Third one at 39 years in the month between changing coil from copper to Mirena.
We never really had to try and realise how lucky we were.

2 years with first DD aged 24 when I conceived
1 month with second DD (different father) aged 33 when I conceived.

With dc1 it was first month of trying. Dc2 was around 6-8mths.

First month, on the pill for 18 years, aged 34. It was a complete shock, my parents had fertility problems and I had expected to be trying for years.

It’s the one thing in life where you just never know until you try!

2 years and IVF for first.

I don't think people who say they they didn't have to try and realise how lucky they are often don't actually realise how lucky that is. So many take it for granted.

2 years from age 40, started using ovulation kit 2 months prior to conception to help pinpoint best time x

1st, accident, miscarried (twins) 11 weeks. 2nd, trying, about 2 mins, now a 3.5yo DS. 3rd, accident, miscarried 6 weeks. 4th, trying, about 2 mins, now 22 weeks pregnant with DD. I'm very lucky in terms of fertility, but slightly less lucky in terms of the 1 in 4 pregnancy ends in mc statistic as my "accidents" were happy surprises. None the less I'm very grateful and hope those of you struggling with conceiving have luck in 2019

4th Cycle and I'm now 11w 5 days pregnant.
Praying scan on Monday goes well!

DD1 - 5 months after 14 years on pill, 28 at the time.

came off pill end of November ready to TTC in March but still no period, I'm just hoping the odds are in our favour now at 31

6th cycle for me.

I was 35. It happened first attempt.

5 years TTC but ended in miscarriage. Then fell pregnant again 4 months later that also ended in miscarriage. Still waiting for my first baby.

18 months of trying and one miscarriage after around 6 months

Honestly I thought it would take months but on our wedding night baby was made first time (we had a lot of travelling after so we didn't really get another chance until a few days later and we didn't have unprotected sex before the wedding)!! I'm 29 so age didn't make much of a difference. Just use the app to track your periods and days for ovulation like I did, then when you're ready try to hit the dates! Ha sounds ridiculous byt I also hear men who eat peas help with sperm count so I fed him lots of peas and spinach before!! 😂 It's all you can do but it's damn well fun 👍🏻😉 good luck xx

I got pregnant on my 25th birthday, the one time we didn't use protection. We were very lucky to not have to try, but we have form, as my second and third pregnancies were also only timers. Wishing you as much luck.

2 months age 38
1 month age 41

First one was first month- not that I was trying- I had good poisening and sickness so pill didn’t work and got pregnant.
2nd also a surprise pregnancy- think again just Ill/ missed pill? Unsure but was lovely.
This one - I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant and it was first month x
I consider myself ridiculously lucky and fortunate not to have had difficulty xx I’m 35 years old now xx

Food poisening *

1st took five years and 2nd took 1 cycle

I'm 26 and it took me 3 months. I charted my cycle for a year before TTC so knew when I was ovulating so conceived on 3rd cycle TTC

Ist cycle

1st - early 20s - one night
2nd - early 30s - 2nd month of trying
3rd - mid 30s - 1st month of trying

All the women in my family are very fertile. I have many friends who have really struggled though so count myself very lucky.

32 first month of trying
35 first month of trying

Very lucky I know!

DC1, aged 28, a very long 11 months.
DC2, aged 30, instantly - a bit of a shock & only a 16 month gap, eek!
DC3, aged 32, about five months including a two month break so we didn't have a late summer baby - got a September one just as I wanted
I am well aware of how lucky I was.

7 months, 4 months, 1st attempt, 3 months, 1st attempt and then 3 times I got pregnant on the pill. I get pregnant quite easily but only about half of them seem to stick. Started ttc at 22 and my youngest dc was born when I was 32.
