How long did it take you to get pregant?

[Etcha]

I'm 23 and we're going to try from next month. I've got a huge fear of struggling to get pregnant so just after an idea of what a realistic time scale/range would be.

Everyone is different. You are young so try not to stress and also don't expect it to happen first try ( though it can!)

Good luck and enjoy the trying!

ds1 1st month off the pill. then used depo injection as contraceptive. stopped using that and 9 months later was preg with ds2. on 2nd cycle ttc now.

i think you should allow 6 - 12 months as a realistic goal.

are your periods regular?

Remember - it can happen the first month! This fact kind of passed me by, and I was pretty shocked to find out I was pregnant after one month of trying to conceive.

Agree that you should give yourself at least 6 months befre you worry. It took me and dp 3 months, then 3 months, then 2 days!

3 months each time. Some people take ages though or first time they try. You are young though so it could be really quick

ds1 1st month trying (i was 23 when i had him)

ds2 3rd month of trying (i was 26 when i had him)

dc1=nearlly 6 years

dc2= 2 1/2 years

dc3= 15 months. He was our little miracle as I was told it wouldn't be possible

DS1 1 month
DS2 1 month
DD 2 months
DC4 1 month

I was 33 & convinced it was going to take us forever. I got pregnant within 2 months. Chocolatedays is right on the money when she says you should enjoy the trying & relax I reckon!

I'm 33

DS - 18 months

This pregnancy (16 weeks) - 20 months

Hope you catch quickly. Xxxx

6 months, good luck x

DS1 7 months (I was 31 years)
MC 2 months (I was 33 years)
DS2 2 months (I was 33 still)
MC 1 month (aged 35)
Now been trying for 8 months again for a little brother or sister for the DSs. I am now 37 years.

About 5 mins....oops! Best accident of my life though!

5 months but I had long cycles (+35) so it was only 4 cycles. Got my hopes up each time as my period arrived later and later.

It was probably the best 5 months of sex I've ever had though! Once you're pregnant you might not want it all the time, then once you've got a lo you have to find the energy and time it with the baby's naps...

Have fun!

Assujme nothing. I thought it would take ages, too.

DS - got pregnant the first month of trying

DD - got pregnant the 3rd month of trying

DS1 8 months
DS2 2 months

so far, been trying for 15 months and still no baby! but I am old.

I have 33 day cycles, does this mean I'll have a hard time getting pregnant??

Hi Etcha
Stop worrying and start trying!

It took me an age (years) but I'm an old bird. You are young and that makes a huge difference.

There is loads of help on here IF it does take a while (say over 6months) but in the meantime do try to go with the flow.

33 days is completely normal by the way!

Choc x

Hi Etcha,
I have resisted posting on your threads for the past couple of days, but I really agree with Chocolatedays and want to say stop worrying about everything, you'll take the fun out of the trying
I am 30 and still not pg after 3 years of ttc, but I am one of the exceptions, not the rule. Be prepared to fall straight away but also be prepared that it might take a while. 90% of couples ttc are successful in the first year, and if you're one of the 10% who isn't then speak to your GP who will get some tests done for you and your DH/P.
Until then just enjoy regular sex throughout your cycle

what they both said. At 23 even if you do have some difficulty you have ages to sort it out!

Thanks for your advice girls. I spoke to my boyfriend and he told me to stop worrying before we need to. Why are men so logical!
