Hi

I have quite long cycles ranging from 31-40 days and have been TTC since October. I just wondered how long did it take you all TC? I understand everyone is different but am curious as to how long it has taken.

TIA x

First was three months, second was one month. I expected second to be longer so was extremely surprised and not as financially sorted as I'd have liked to be due to chis care costs I wanted three years between. There's no rhyme of reason it could take one year, one month or ten years.

7yrs of infertility and then it happened out of nowhere totally unexpected! Im now a firm believer that children appear when they want to

I had 26-31 day cycles, took 10 months. I didnt do ovulation sticks or temperatures etc just used an app which estimated my firtile window. Prior to this I had been on the pill the best part of 15 years.

First try. I was 27 and living healthily, having regular sex but not obsessing over exact days to do it! Was lying down flat for a bit after sex too. Fully aware it could've just been luck.

My friend has 2 children. First one conceived first try early thirties. Second one took 6 months late thirties.

I have another friend who took 4 years to conceive and I can't imagine how tough that must've been.

DC1 14 years ago wasn't tracking but fell pregnant when I wanted to so I'd say 1st or 2nd month.
DC2 (10 years later) first month
Currently 18 weeks with DC3, first month again.

I was very fortunate and got pregnant almost immediately both times.
