Hey all, just wondering how many cycles it took people to get pregnant with their first?

I'm only cycle #2 at the moment so no urgency on my part, just wondering :)

Mine was accidently the one time condoms weren't used and the 'pull out' strategy was used. Sitting here at 33weeks pregnant from the one time contraception wasn't used.

It took us over 4 years, I don't know exactly how many cycles as my periods were all over the place! We have now got our beautiful little 11 month old boy and he was most definitely worth the wait! Good luck Smile

DoAsDreamersDo · 07/03/2019 12:24

TheWashingMachine · 07/03/2019 12:42

1 with each DC but that was just sheer luck, I only have one fallopian tube. I was 34 with DC1, 35 with DC2.

TheArtfulScreamer1 · 07/03/2019 12:51

5 years and a round of IVF, I had regular periods and no diagnosable issues but sometimes that's just the way it goes. Good luck.

VenusStarr · 07/03/2019 14:53

16 cycles, age 35. Had started fertility tests at 12 cycles and the GP sent our referral on the Monday, positive test on the following Saturday.
