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!

First baby - 1 cycle - age 20

Second baby - 2 cycles - age 23 (Lost this baby in a MMC at 13 weeks tho)

Third baby - 3 cycles - age 24, currently 32 weeks pregnant!

Our cycles seem to follow which baby it is, will be interesting to see if baby number four would take 4 cycles haha

Good luck with TTC x

Very best of luck, fifi!

Anothermrssmith · 09/09/2013 21:59

Age 28 and currently 21 weeks pregnant with my first, took about 5months to conceive. Thought I was ovulating on day 14 of my cycle and 'targeted our efforts' around that time to no avail. Used an ovulation test and got pregnant straight away, turns out I was ovulating on day 11.

MummyJetsetter · 09/09/2013 22:40

Dc1 age 26 1 cycle
Dc2 age 29 8 cycles now 35wks

WillYouDoTheFandango · 09/09/2013 23:40

DS 6 cycles aged 29.

Good luck to all you preggos and ttcers! You're all making me extremely broody as always

Sammi1986 · 09/09/2013 23:41

My docs though it would take 2 years for me, overweight, alternating cysts on ovaries, one dodgy testicle on DP.... 2 weeks later after only DTD 3 times... BFP with my Bean!
Good luck and I hope you have a sproglet soon ;) xx

Cavort · 10/09/2013 04:14

DC1 conceived aged 34, 2 cycles Smile

Sibble · 10/09/2013 05:41

ds1 first attempts, ds2 3+ years with 1 mc inbetween.

foodgfood · 10/09/2013 06:02

DD1: 8 months
DD2: bang on 8 months again!
Third pregnancy: 8 months, but miscarried at 9 weeks
DS1: 3 months after mc.

For me, I think it takes 8 months for the pill to clear from my body. I know 8 months isn't that long, but at the time it felt like forever!

Good luck Fifi, keeping fingers crossed for you!

For those saying they're losing hope after 6 months, be positive, it takes 40% of women longer than that but most people will be pregnant within a year or so. Sadly it is a longer and tougher path for some of us. I started at 35, all tests good, 30 cycles naturally and then 6 months and two IVF cycles later (one fresh, one frozen embryo) I am 20 weeks pregnant with the frostie.

kitteninmittens · 10/09/2013 07:19

So sorry for all the ladies who suffered a loss.

We thought we would never conceive as I have an autoimmune condition, we got pregnant on the second month, just after we got back from our honeymoon.
I can highly recommend taking a trip away as it does make you a lot more relaxed about trying :)

microserf · 10/09/2013 07:24

1 cycle (loss)
1 cycle 35

Second baby arrived after I started Ttc not realising the " period" I had had was not a real one and I was in fact already pregnant. Oops.

javotte · 10/09/2013 08:11
