I conceived first month with ds and I was 34 I'm now nearly 37 and am having no luck. Just wondered how everyone else did as I'm starting to worry my eggs may be fried!

Having read through it does seem completely random.

How long have you been trying cookies?

DD - 15 months, early mc, then another 14/15 months. Was 29 when DD was born, was 26 when first started TTC.

Have not managed to have second. Have tried on and off for past 3 years. Recently found out I have fertility issues due to medical problems following my c section, and other medical issue probably from beyond that. I am 34 now. Now I am having surgery (first one last Friday, next in 3 months) - who knows???

Hm,
with es I was 25, we had started trying in march, I think, I had fallen pg, but had a m/c in the July, and fell for es in september! So, both times reasonable quick.

after es we tried straight away again, when es was 2.3 years I fell pg, but had another loss...we decided to stop trying for a while.

in Oct./Nov. 2001 we started to ttc again, (but then dh was away for a couple of month) and I found out I was pg again in march 2002....I had fallen pg the day of his return from Belize...I knew I was at the right time, and all that saved up sperm and the time away must have helped a lot ;) (tmi I suppose)

in October 2003 we decided to ttc for #3 and I found out I was pg around x-mas 2003

3andnomore · 06/09/2007 17:27

oh, with ms I was 31 when I fell pg and with ys I was 33
