How long did it take you?

[fifi669]

I'm a TTCer and wondering what the average stats are on MN. How old are you and how long/how many cycles did it take for your BFP?

I'm 30, TTC DC#2, cycle 6 and bloody impatient!

For DC2, age 28/29, three cycles, mc, then three cycles, DC2.

This time, 31, five cycles, mc, one cycle.

Good luck x

DC1 2 cycles 32
DC2 2 cycles, MC 34
DC3 2 cycles 35. Now 21 wks pregnant

Dc3, 35, 5 cycles.
Both my previous were unplanned and a long time ago.
Good luck

I am 35 .. Took about 15 months of serious trying. Booked appointment for specialist.. They booked surgery then got pregnant and found out the week before.had booked time off work even. I am due today ....

Very, very lucky.

Best of luck to you

Took us about 18 months, im 27 and hubby is 38. My first baby his third... was beginning to lose hope to be honest but now 30 weeks pregnant.

Ps.. The cycle that worked was the one where we ditched opks, I drank and partied far too much as had given up.. Hasn't even taken the folic acid that month. Also did everyday from day 11 not every other day as recommended. Hth

DC1 was third cycle, DC2 and DC3 first cycle. I was age 30, 32 and 34.

27 23 day cycle I'm overweight fell second cycle :)

~18 months and 3 months

29/32

I'm 27, and fell pregnant on the ninth cycle the one where i resigned myself to it never happening, no OPKs just went with it and didn't worry. Hope it's not too much longer for you x

Dc1, 2 cycle age 33
Dc2, 1 cycle age 35
Dc 3, 8 cycles, I mc then 1cycle and am 10 weeks, age 37

DS- 7 cycles 24
DC -1 cycle 27 currenlty 13 weeks

DC1, 1 cycle, age 31 (due in 4 weeks!)

Took us slightly by surprise. During that cycle, we DTD every other day and used Conceive Plus if I needed some help!

I had the norovirus at the beginning of the cycle so not sure if my compromised immune system helped?!

26, took 2.5 years and needed fertility treatment in the end even though there was nothing wrong. It's still early days though so have fingers crossed!

2 years and ivf here too. I'm 31.

Pregnancy 1 - 1 cycle (loss) - 29
Pregnancy 2 - 3 cycles, although they were wonky from the loss - 29
Pregnancy 3 - 1 cycle (loss) - 31
Pregnancy 4 - 3 cycles, although again they were wonky from the loss -31
Pregnancy 5 - 1 cycle - 33
Pregnancy 6 - 2 cycles (loss) - 36
Pregnancy 7 - 13 cycles WTF - 37 - this pregnancy, now 11 weeks.

Never had an explanation as to why I could go from somebody who got pregnant pretty much straight off (holding onto them was another matter) and then suddenly not at all. Had loads of testing including lap/HSG which were all clear. For my BFP cycle I took loads of supplements which may have tipped the balance, and reduced DTD to only with positive OPK in case it was male factor. And had fresh pineapple core 2-6dpo. Everybody I know who tries pineapple core gets a BFP. Total coincidence, but perhaps the placebo effect..

Good luck!!

Pregnancy 1 - 1 cycle & twins.

DC1 4 cycles age 27
DC2 1 cycle age 29
DC3 2 cycles age 41 currently 34 weeks pregnant

Fell straightaway with both, aged 36 and 40. Still counting my lucky stars. Dc2 due next weds.

I mean thanking, not counting, don't I?! Doh.

DS cycle 5 (one chemical pregnancy) I was 20

DC2 (currently 20 weeks pregnant) cycle 2. I am now 23

I was 38 and he was unplanned :)

1st 2 cycles (loss) 28yrs
2nd 8 cycles= ds1 29yrs was starting to get stressed and had written off that month getting trashed at a friend's wedding.
3rd 1 cycle = 27 weeks 32 yrs

I know it's impossible to do once you start to stress but from all anecdotal evidence it happens when you are most relaxed/not thinking about it too much : easier d said than done!

27 years old, dc1 and first cycle. Not quite sure how we were so lucky. Currently 22 weeks.
Had prepared myself (and hubby) for a long try as hoped it would help me to be realistic and not disappointed when it didnt happen straight away.
2 weeks later.....
