Just starting out (month 1) and have read all the things about 20% chance each month etc but wondering how long it actually took you to conceive? Is it likely to be faster if you time it around ovulation?

I'm 27 and OH is 30 we are both healthy!

Had my son at 24, took 5 months to conceive after coming off the pill, didn’t track ovulation really.
I’m 27 now and 31 weeks pregnant with my daughter, this time it took 8 months after coming off the pill. We did track ovulation this time. I think it’s just luck!

2 years 7months with ds1. I was 31 when It finally happened. 32 when he was born. I’m 35 now and 13 months ttc dc2 and no joy so far.

One month of "not preventing" and 5 weeks after we stayed actively trying. Much sooner than expected!

meow1989 · 30/06/2019 21:07

Also I was 27 and DH was 31. I came off non hormonal contraception (worth noting as it can take time for your cycles to get back on track after hormonal contraception)

1st month for DS.

3rd month with this one but didn't really try properly the first 2 months. Was more of a "meh". 3rd month was planned and tested

First time - Completely unplanned (he's 8 years old)

Second time - Trying almost 4 years now (1 ectopic during that time) and still trying...

CookPassBabtridge · 02/07/2019 17:00

DS1 was an accident, split condom (age 28)
DS2 was first time we had sex after deciding to try (age 31)

LadyOfTheFlowers · 02/07/2019 17:07

Within about 2 months of trying each time (4 kids) and recently while on mirena
Think H and I were just very compatible and lucky

Shelbybear · 02/07/2019 17:41

10 months trying for my first which was 7 cycles for me. I was 30.

Pregnant with second and that took 3 months at age 33.
