Hi all - I am brand new here (this is my very first post) and have just decided to start TTC this month.
I am 29, my husband is 31... I was wondering how long it took all of you to get pregnant (if you have managed)?

DC#1: First month

DC#2: Second month

1st - first month (I was 28)
2nd - second month (I was 30)
3rd - unplanned while taking the mini pill?! Blush (At 33)

And I will add that I'm incredibly rubbish at dealing with TTC. With #2, I was freaking out when it didn't happen immediately again! I admire women who have fertility problems or who take longer and who don't turn into bitter, hateful bitches (because seriously, that's what I was like).
Good luck to you OP!

First month. About to start trying again and expecting it to be quick but who knows. Fingers crossed!

Thatsnotmyfigure · 20/12/2013 23:14

At 39 it took 13 months I was obsessed with my temperature etc. at 41 it took 5 months this time - am 6 weeks pregnant now. The worry of infertility was overwhelming and I've had friends who have been through years of pain so I do count my blessings

Ilovekittyelise · 20/12/2013 23:25

first time: first month but had termination for t21.age 33

second time: few months after termination so didnt really know what was going on with cycles but happened as soon as i used ov sticks. chemical pregnancy. age 34

third time (hes 2): month after chemical preg. age 34

fourth time (currently 34 wks): started trying in feb, relieved it didnt work that month as got offered new job. waited until id been there a month, started trying in mayand it worked. age 36.

i feel lucky that we have conceived easily, but have had our heartache through the loss of our first.

Same month as vasectomy reversal 1st time. Within a couple of months of stopping using condoms 2nd time although not trying particularly hard what with having a 1yr old still feeding at night.

GeekyBea · 20/12/2013 23:40

First try!

I was 32 and my partner 40, I'd been three years on the depo injection though it's been over a year since I went off. From what I read, with my age and such, I was expecting a small delay before conceiving, but to my shock and surprise, I conceived straight away.

busylizzie76 · 20/12/2013 23:47

14/15 cycles for dc1 (I was 29 when I conceived)

Dc2 conceived the first cycle after giving birth to dc1 Blush

First time 14 months - took a while for my hormones to get back to normal after being on the pill.

Second time unplanned but miscarried.

Fell pregnant again after 2 months, all going well so far :)

randdom · 21/12/2013 11:48

Aged 27 - four months resulted in a MC and then 2 months later got my positive test. Now 17 weeks.

sdaisy26 · 21/12/2013 18:01

Dd - 2 years + clomid (had a mc 6 months before conceiving dd)

Currently 27 weeks pg with #2, just leaving things up to fate after dd so not really expecting to get pg - I conceived but mc the first month I think I ov'd after dd (she was 10 months), then amazingly conceived this one the very next month.

Came off pill (microgynon) in June, conceived 3rd cycle. I tracked BBT on an iPhone app so knew when I was ovulating. Very blessed. I'm now 20weeks! Eeek!

ClearlyMoo · 22/12/2013 07:47

I'm 34 and DH is 36, and we thought it would take ages as my periods are a mess left to their own devices!

MummyPig24 · 22/12/2013 08:03

The first time I was 19 and I'm not sure how long it took as ds was a surprise but I think it was on my first or second cycle after I mucked up my pill.

Second time I was 21 and conceived 2nd go.

3rd time I was (am) 25 and conceived 2nd time again.

Beans1977 · 22/12/2013 08:17
