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

I was 31 and conceived within the first week of trying. I came off the pill 3 months prior to starting to TTC.

We’re also wanting to start TTC again for baby number 2 but will ideally wait for all this to blow over first (I don’t want to be pregnant in the middle of a health crisis but I’m also very aware that I’m not getting any younger!). I think it’s normal to worry that you might not be able to conceive easily, but you’re young and healthy so have very very good chances. Don’t stress.

38 1 month

Good luck when you start! Was just concerned for you as much as the nhs.... hope all works out

I was 25 and happened first try. Very blessed

Why do you anticipate any difficulty if you're very young and don't have any conditions likely to impact on your fertility?

I was 39 and got pregnant the first month.

@CastleSalem not that I’m anticipating any, I’m just a bit of a worrier!

I have more of a fear that we won’t be able to conceive without any reason. Obviously I should not be worrying like that because I can reassure myself of the positive factors (age, no conditions)

I was 38 and it took 7 months.

28 and happened straight away. As you are young, there is no way I'd try now. Definitely wait it out. Pregnancy can make you very anxious and the current state of the world won't help with the anxiety!

I'm 23 and I'm still ttc with my first. It's been nearly a year now 😭

31 first go and 33 not trying, it was 6 months earlier than we’d planned to start trying. We feel very lucky we have never had the stress of trying to conceive. I’d never normally shout about how easy we found it though, I’m surrounded by people who didn’t have our luck.

I guess you tend to hear more about people struggling than people posting they were pregnant in 2 weeks as that would just seem smug. I was the same before we decided to have our first child, I’d convinced myself it wouldn’t happen and I’d have issues or something as it seems so common.

26, got a positive test 6 weeks after we started trying.

Started trying at 25 and conceived within first few months. Had MC before 12 weeks and started trying again 3 months later and conceived DD1 immediately. Conceived DD2 whilst still breast feeding 9 months later! At 22 you should be fine. Obviously there are some who are unlucky but you have plenty of time even if you need some medical intervention.

Had 1st baby at 29- took 9 months.
Currently pregnant with baby number 2, aged 30. I fell pregnant second month of trying.
