How long did it take you to get pregnant?

[user1480198351]

Hi everyone,

I read on the Baby centre website that c70% of couple who can conceive naturally will do so in 6 months. My husband and I have been trying for 7 months with no luck and I think I'm about to find out that we've not conceived this month. A lot of our friends are getting pregnant at the moment and it's just not happening for us. How long did it take you to conceive? Please don't feel bad about responding if you got pregnant v quick, I just want to hear from other people!

Thanks for any responses!

Hi there - this thread is a little old. If you want to find out how long it takes to get pregnant, we’ve got more information here. MNHQ

We conceived on our 5th cycle off the pill. I was 34. I'm about to start ttc #2 at age 36 so prepared for it potentially taking longer this time.

8th cycle for number one. Straight away for the next 4 pregnancies.

6th cycle for no 1. 3rd for no. 2

17 months all in, probably 12 months actively trying.

(I am never having sex again - we've had a lifetime's worth now!)

6 YEARS.....

Dc1 the third month (we dtd every other day that month)

Pregnancy 2 (lost at 11 weeks) fifth month

Dc2 we dtd once in February and that was that

Around 8 months first time.
Second was 17 months, wasn't expecting to be pregnant when it finally happened!

Ds- 18 months
Dd 2- days

3 and a bit years...

1st pregnancy - 1 month but m/c at 7 weeks
2nd pregnancy - 2 months, m/c at 17 weeks
3rd pregnancy - 4 months - DS1
4th pregnancy - 2 months - DS2

Both babies - 1st month of trying I know i was so lucky.
Husband sorely disappointed - anticipated lots of sex but morning sickness put an end to it for a bit!

1 month

Just over 2 years with the first and 2 months with the second!

7 years. Worth the wait, though. She's gorgeous.

1st pregnancy 2 months but this one 6 months

DC1 - 11 months
DC2 - 1 month
DC3 - 4 months

Conceived in the first cycle for both our children. I was breastfeeding when we conceived DC2 and had spent months trying to track my cycle before we TTC.

Basically the first shot with all three (wish I made money as easily as I do babies ) but we have good friends who tried for over three years and had two miscarriages and now have a 6, 4, and 2 year old. :) It just started happening!

It took 2 years to conceive our baby boy but he was our 4th pregnancy. Xx

A month or two? A lot quicker than we were expecting so it was a bit of a shock!

First month with both.

But I have friends who were trying for a long time before getting pregnant, and all now either have had babies or are pregnant.

18 months for us. I'm 36 and we found out DH had issues with his sperm. Despite that we managed to conceive naturally, so there is hope.

Like Ravioli I feel like we've had our lifetime's worth of sex now! (DH doesn't agree!)

Good luck OP!

About 6 months. With hindsight I think we were doing it on the wrong days, I though I knew when I was ovulating. As soon as we had a month of doing it every other day, I conceived.

A year for us - thought it would never happen.

2 years. No medical reason why it took so long.
