What age were you and how did TTC take for you?

[WannabeMom97]

Not TTC yet, currently finishing my strip of my pill then trying Natural Cycles before TTC later this year.

I’m quite curious, how old were you with each baby and how long did it take TTC?

I’ve explained my situation in my last post, I’m 22 (engaged, house with my fiancé, both financially stable and in stable jobs - before anyone states we should be married! Which we’re aiming to do as soon as things start getting back to normal) I’m quite worried we’ll have problems TTC or won’t be able to so I don’t know why but I want to hear how long it took for everyone, what age you decided to etc!

Feel free to not add certain details if you don’t feel comfortable

You could conceive today or in years. If j were you o wouldn't ctry and conceive in the middle of this pandemic.. you are very young and have many years ahead of you. Wait uh until the hospitals and nhs staff are back on their feet.

I'm 28, it took 3 years, 3 MC's and a laparoscopy for endometriosis. I'm 18 weeks now.

@Toohardtofindaproperusername we’re not TTC until September/October, obviously if we are in the same position as we are now we won’t be, however I’m quite hopeful that by then things will be improving. So no I’m not looking to add strain to the NHS! We obviously won’t start trying until things seem to be improving

@London91 I’m so sorry to hear about your MC, congratulations on your pregnancy! Wishing you a happy and healthy one

29, happened first go (we only dtd once and dh went away on business the next day!) Had been tracking everything.

I was 28 & it took 11 months. It was much quicker with DC2 & DC3.

How do you know your job is stable?

I got pregnant at 22 when I had a good job. Not long after I returned to work after mat leave, I was made redundant

I was 30 ish when started TTC. Finally gave birth at 42. I will spare you the details of all that took place in between! 22 is plenty young enough, OP, unless there's a specific medical issue that you're aware of, you shouldn't need to worry.

DC1 I was 28 and it happened first time. DC2 I was 31 and it took 8 months.

35 with first, 2 months, of trying. 37 with second, one month. 38 with third, one month. Had a miscarriage just before first baby.

You've got great chances of conceiving quickly at your age!

Strongly advise doing so by the moment tho.

39. It took one month after coming off the pill.

That should say strongly advise against at the moment!

18 conceived first go, 39 conceived second go, 42 conceived after 5 months (miscarried), 43 conceived after 4 months

We were in a similar situation to you and waited till we got married before ttc - then it was buying a larger house - 5 years down the line and 3 years of ttc we wish we had started earlier. Agree with others wait till nhs is back on its feet then if your stable and have support crack on!

Positive test 6 weeks after having my implant out with DD when I was 31. Positive test 8 weeks after having implant out with DS 2 years later. We were extremely fortunate.

25 first go, twin pregnancy but mc both.
Marriage ended.
35 first go have a lovely teen dc .

23, DH 29. Stopped taking the pill Jan 1st 19 after being on it for 11 years and found out I was pregnant a year ago yesterday and now sat nursing my 4 month old daughter 🙂

I’m 32 and it happened in the first month, I did track ovulation though and had been on the pill for 10 years.

First baby 27 and 2 months, second baby 30 and first month. I count myself as very lucky

I was 35 happened first attempt. Then tried again at 38. It took 6 months and one early miscarriage.

I was between 30 and 34 when I conceived my DC. It happened within the first three months all three times.

Ds1 I was 24, we weren't actively trying but I conceived within 2 months of deciding to see what happens and come off the pill

Ds2 I conceived around the time of my 27th birthday after a year of active TTC; I had been breastfeeding throughout most of the TTC and conceived within 2 months of weaning toddler ds1

Ds3 I conceived on the Pill at the age of 33 and didn't realise for almost three months!

Thank you everyone! I have been reassured by quite a few people (mother + friends who I’ve opened up to) that my age puts me at a great advantage. As for any conditions, none to note! The reason I do want to try natural cycles is to see what my cycle is like because on the pill it’s standard 3 weeks on, 1 week withdrawal, so I don’t know my real cycle. We definitely are not going to TTC now, and if it comes to September and things are not starting to return to normal or in the process of, we won’t try then either.

I guess I mainly just wanted to speak to other women and reassure some of my worries? And hear about how it went for you!

I was 20 came of the pill to ttc and it took 2 months , and the same happened again was 23 ttc and was pregnant 2 month later.
I was greatfull it happened so quick but was thinking it would probably take us a while to concieve and was enjoying not having to take the pill and be hormone free for a while but it was quick.

Take your time wait until this is over, Preferrably get married. I was 22, got stressed because people around me were taking 2 years, stopped the pill and was pregnant a month later
