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!

First time with all 3 (2 accidents, 1 planned) aged 26, 27 and 29.

My bf was 36 when she conceived her dd and it took 3 months, then it took her 14 months to conceive her second aged 37-38.

5 years! I was 30 when we started TTC, 35 when I conceived DS. But I don't think age was really the issue.

7 months, at 27 followed by m/c followed by conception on next cycle.

In 40s, "instant" surprise pg at 42 (first time we DTD in 3 months and not mid cycle) that m/c

planned p/g following m/c took 3 months- another m/c at 43

another "instant" first time after m/c at 43, DD2 born 2 months before 44th bday.

(I only seem to get pg if I'm not actively TTC)
