Hi. Planning for the year ahead/life! Wondering how long it took you to conceive?
I took clomid last time as I was anovulatory (PCOS). Twins 2 in May. Don’t want to leave a large age gap. Deciding when to TTC...

10 years with first and we got no IVF or Clomid as we didn't meet guidelines in our area and then after falling badly I'll and needing blood etc I found out o was pregnant with daughter 1.

This time round (blaming the kitchen lol) was 3 months max.

Fuck you PCOS 😂😂😊

5 years no joy, 1st round of ivf was successful. No actual reason for not conceiving, just one of those things!

Both times first month off birth control.

Stopped taking my pill and that month got pregnant with the first. Then with my second (8 years later and due in just over a month) I didn't go back for my depo injection which I had been on for 7 years and the next month fell pregnant Smile

Wanted to add that I took royal jelly and evening primrose oil capsules for a few weeks before conceiving, which I’m sure helped

I didn't take anything/have IVF.

2 years for first; about 5 years for second.

Good luck. Smile

I met my partner on the 3rd August and found out I was pregnant on the 22nd Sept, and I was 5 weeks pregnant (DS is 4 in may)...then when DS was 5 months old we decided to try again and a month later I found out I was having DS2 who will be 3 in August. So now we've decided to wait a long while before trying again since he only has to look at me funny and I get pregnant lol. And a LOT of family members have started having multiples (and my mum is a twin too) so hells nah is it happening yet for us lol!! Two babies in 15 months is plenty for me right now lol. X

We had a month when (copper) coil came out and we were casually not preventing rather than trying, then I think it was a grand total of 5 weeks of regular dtd (every 2-3 days) . I found out about 7 days before period due so must have ovulated reasonably early.

Think we were incredibly lucky as GP told me the average couple takes 8 months to conceive.

With ds1 it took 11 months.

With ds2 it took the only night in a month we did actually dtd. We were not trying at all.

First pregnancy took 9 months, ended in mc during first trimester, second pregnancy first month of trying again; which is 12 months after we first started trying- fingers crossed this one sticks 🤞🏻

10 months in total, and 3rd month on clomid as I have PCO and irregular cycles. DD only 10 weeks old and already I'm worried it will take ages to conceive baby no.2 😬
