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 :)

1 cycle, ended in miscarriage at 10 weeks.
12 cycles until next pregnancy. Now 32 weeks, expecting in May.

Think it was number 69 that did it on the end!

I'm not sure as wasn't keeping track properly - I think about 7 or 8 but this was over about a year as we had some months where we didn't have sex at all (busy year with a house move, redundancy and some illness).
I am 40.

2.5 years, lost track of cycles, was due to start fertility treatment but got BFP the week before.

16 months.

Luxembourgmama · 07/03/2019 19:32

1 but then 10 for number 2

Astrid0208 · 07/03/2019 19:41

First cycle, aged 32

legalseagull · 07/03/2019 19:58

18 for the first, one month for the second and third!

1 for me. I now realise how incredibly lucky that is

Me too, and absolutely

First was unplanned at 21 - ended in MC at 7 weeks

Current pregnancy (33 weeks) - cycle 3 at age 28

Even that felt like ages but enjoy the time now, pregnancy is tough on your body. And best of luck ☺️

We were trying for 4 months.

Hollowvictory · 07/03/2019 20:28

4 but got twins 4th time. Changed clinics after cycle 3.

PixieDust20 · 07/03/2019 20:35

1 cycle for us.
We feel very lucky/blessed
