With our first it took us a year and a half. Now trying for our 2nds baby and in our third cycle ttc.
With a 20% chance isn't there is a likelihood of conceiving within 4 months for normal couples? How long did it actually take you?

14 months. Had a chemical at 7 months. Hoping to start for no. 2 soon and hope it doesn't take as long!

AmberFields · 25/10/2023 21:31

Age 34 1st month
Age 40 2nd month unfortunately had a MC and complications so chose to stop trying.

I started taking coq10 around 7 weeks ago… I had a very heavy period and I’m still spotting two weeks after period. BUT I feel as though it has done something… day before and day of ovulation large amount of ewcm. I have not had this before so I first thought what is this stretchy mucus. Exactly like raw egg whites… I think it is the tablets. I’ve also had ovary pain in my left ovary, the one that i normally don’t have ovary pain from.
I also started taking vitamin c tablets around the same time.
I am 2 dpo, I’m hoping my eggs are better quality and I will be pregnant, but I’m not going to get too excited. X

@40andtrying1 please let us know how you go! Considering COQ10 for when we try for no. 2!

TTCNoTWO · 27/10/2023 11:52

First was conceived was 2nd cycle, ended in mc. Then conceived DS the month after.

Currently ttc baby number 2, and I'm on cycle 6! 3 years older now so maybe that's why, gets upsetting after a while though! X

Swirls346 · 27/10/2023 12:31

1st baby - 18 months and conceived via ivf
Trying for second and on cycle 6, had a very early miscarriage last month

ReginaPhalange12 · 28/10/2023 20:44

1st baby - 1st month
2nd baby - currently cycle 5

I had an ectopic pregnancy before DC1 and that was 1st cycle too however I am almost 5 year older since TTC 1st baby so I'm guessing that's a factor in why it's taking longer 👎🏼

Angelselevenx · 28/10/2023 20:47

TTC our first, chemical on cycle 2 now on cycle 9, 5DPO.

Schum · 28/10/2023 20:50

#1 - 4mth age 23
#2 - 2mth age 26
#3 - 7mth (inc. 2 chem pg) age 30
#4 - 1mth age 33

I know we were very lucky.

Werewolfnotswearwolf · 28/10/2023 20:52

Almost 6 years, two cycles of IVF and 6 transfers. Some losses both natural and IVF along the way.

Giving number 2 a go naturally, just see what happens and trying to have no expectations! I’m not ever going through IVF again so will make my peace if one is all I have ❤️

DuploTrain · 28/10/2023 20:53

Less than few days! But all women in my maternal family are super fertil, my sister and all my female cousins got pregnant in few days as me.

Blippard · 29/10/2023 05:37

1st try.
I was using ovulation testing so we knew exactly when I was ovulating!

Needeyebrows · 29/10/2023 06:00

Three children and conceived them all on the first month of trying. At the time I would have been in the obese category but didn't drink or smoke and I was 27, 29 and 31 when they were conceived.

PetsAreBetter · 29/10/2023 06:06

All six first month of trying. I've had other battles in life but that particular one wasn't mine.

cptartapp · 29/10/2023 06:23

Third month at 30, first month at 33.
