How long did it take you?

Hi im on cycle 6 TTC #1. How long did it take you to conceive your first and any tips on staying relaxed and stress free xx

I'm one of those annoying people that got pregnant on the 2nd cycle. I'm 31. I'm very impatient and anxious by nature so was freaked out when it didn't happen the first time, as sex education/TV/movies make it look like it happens the moment you have any unprotected sex.
The second cycle I read somewhere that people were using Mooncups to "trap" the sperm overnight after doing the deed. Decided to try it for a laugh and got pregnant. Of course it could be a complete coincidence but no harm in trying it I suppose.

I came off the pill in June 2018 and fell pregnant in Feb 2019. Had a mmc and started ttc again in May and got my BFP at the start of January. So it took 8 months both times.

It took me 7 months with my first and then 2 years with my second, where we was referred to a fertility clinic where I discovered I have bad PCOS, I got pregnant with the max dose of clomid on my 5th go, I'm sacred to try for baby number 3.

Four years OP. I had irregular periods 5-7 weeks. I went to see my GP about this as well as other symptoms of hair loss, mental fuzziness and being cold all the time. She tested my thyroid function and discovered I had an under active thyroid which can effect your fertility.
I was referred to a specialist, given medication and a few months later fell pregnant.

9 months the first time. 1 attempt the second time.

Thank you for all your replys i feel really calm and at ease now that it will be my time soon thankyou xx
