How long did it take the first time?

[Chaoscontrol]

This is utterly ridiculous but Google is shit at 'advice' and I need some real people..

How long did it take you to conceive first time? Google sets unrealistic expectations and I'm sick of feeling crap because of it..

I am TTC baby no1 and I need some real answers in how long it took, or if you are still trying?

✨Thank you

It took us 11 months. And 2 early MCs along the way. Sending you lots of luck 👶🏼 xx

4 months first time, just conceived 2nd on first time. Hoping all goes okay 🤞🏻

First time with DS.

3rd time lucky so two failed conception cycles for these twins now 28+2.

I've never taken any contraceptive pills so not sure if that helped or not.

First month.

We both had so many things against us (health and age mostly) that we had agreed to give it a year. It was a shock to conceive the first month we tried.

5 years for my first, although that is due to infertility

4 years for me. And only conceived with ivf.

21 cycles and counting...

First month for me with DC1. But for several of my friends (with no fertility issues) it took about a year of trying.

13 months

5 years!

18 months

First month both times.

5 years with zero issues found.

I'm on to my 5th cycle now TTC #1 been off the pill for 3/4 years. No positive tests yet 🥺😔

Ten months baby number 1
First month (first try) baby number 2
Twelve months baby number 3

First go with DS.

6 months, two miscarriages TTC #2... currently 4 weeks pregnant 🤞🏽

Four months. I was 40. Second time again four months (42). Didn't track anything, was just vaguely aware of when mid cycle was and had sex regularly.

1st month trying, was a chemical.
5th month trying, was a chemical.
I'm on cycle #6, waiting to see if AF shows. Not hopeful this time.

About 18 months

Actually trying trying? 8 months and 3 miscarriages.

After stopping preventing? 3 years and nothing happened until I started tracking ovulation.

Three years in and nothing yet - will update if it ever happens 😂

Cycle 6 was a chemical pregnancy, cycle 8 was the one that stuck, 38 weeks today!

I have short cycles so 8 was only 6 months of trying

11 months for my first.

We had the bizarre situation of seemingly becoming more fertile with age.

DS1- 17 months
DS2- 8 months
DS3 - 7 months
DS4- first try (I’m not even sure you’d call it trying)

We were fertility tested whilst trying for our first and my husband was diagnosed with a very low sperm count and advised to have ICSI (we didn’t need it in the end) so have no idea what’s happened since then. All I know is all the sperm he does have are clearly male 😆

About 12 or 13 months but it felt like forever. I was temping/tracking on 3 different apps and on OPK and there was no triangulation/overlap so we booked a private fertility consultation. £500+ later, and I was pregnant, naturally, by the time our test results all came back as normal. I would pay again though, in similar circumstances, just to put my mind at ease.
