How long did it take you to get pregnant? Did you do anything different the month you conceive?

Please don’t try and control what others do.

It is offensive to post that you got pregnant immediately when someone is clearly struggling. And totally unnecessary.

Everything is offensive these days.

I didn’t realise this thread was in conception as it came to it from active/new, so I took the thread at face value and answered the question.

Thanks, all. I am nearly 40 so think that’s why I’m worrying. However, I am ovulating and have regular cycles.

1st baby - 11 months
2nd baby - 10 months nothing, then i used a fertilily and got pregnant on that cycle
3rd baby - first cycle using a fertilily (sooner than we had in mind!)

This is something which was particularly beneficial to me as I suspect I have a slightly strangely shaped cervix which was causing issues. But amazing results once I did use a fertilily - again, may have just been due to personal circumstances.

Hi, could I ask what you mean by strangely shaped please?

I've been considering a fertilily as I have a tilted cervix.

Four months both times in my 40s. Did nothing special other than had sex a few times a week. I was very regular so knew when I might ovulate but didn’t track it as such. Kids are now 21 and 23! Good luck!

Took me 14 months, tracking ovulation the whole time and also did seed cycling which is supposed to balance hormones the final month that got pregnant. Ground them all up and kept in the freezer to stay fresh and just sprinkled a spoon on cereal each morning. May be a coincidence but tell everyone to try it now!
