Mid thirties TTC #1 - how long did it take you?

Just curious for those who had your first baby in your mid-thirties, how long did it take you trying to conceive? Recently turned 34 and have been trying for around 6 months - starting to feel a bit skittish!

Just to share it's finally happened and I'm pregnant after 10 cycles 😊 Still very early days but can't help feeling excited - at least now I know I can get pregnant!

I was 38 when I conceived (I had been trying for one year) and now I'm 30 weeks pregnant with my second and I'm 40 in April. I think your body takes time to her pregnant after years of trying your hardest not to... so don't worry hang in there - cut down on booze (not hugely just the odd booze free day) and add veg to your meals. Don't over exercise! Stop the cardio. Have sex every Green Day of your cycle despite what the doctors say. You'll get there 👌🏻

My mum conceived my sister and I (twins) at 33, first month trying. Never got pregnant again though!

I took about a year to conceive first at 32, but I think that was because we were using lubricant! We conceived straight after we stopped using it (I promise we're not usually that stupid).

Had a miscarriage Dec 21 age 34, about 9 weeks. Conceived again end of may 22 age 34, I'll be 35 when this baby comes (due Fri!).

It's easy to say don't worry about it, when I know how consuming the thoughts can be. But it is really random when you'll conceive.

Hi, OP

33.5 for my first child, pregnant first cycle
35 baby number 2 and 5 cycles.

My advice, easier said then done is too not worry. Even though it takes over your every thought, did with me.

I also used ovulation tests, and an app which helped me pinpoint the days of ovulation.

@LaVitesse2022 congratulations 🎊

Thanks so much everyone, this thread helped me to not worry too much and just be patient and trust the process.

@Rose785 that's so great to hear from you and that things having been going well! I remember we had been trying for roughly the same time and were in the TWW together when you got your BFP! I often wondered how things were going for you :)

33yrs old 1st cycle baby #1
Now 36 TTC baby #2 and cycle 7 still waiting.

I am in betteer shape now then back then. I was quiet unfit.in my early 30's but it was easier just due to age I guess.

Now my diet is great.and I am super active. Just.goes to prove these elements don't really help
