With your first pregnancy if you were TTC, and how old were you?

I know up to a year is normal, I know it’s dependent on many factors, but I’m just nosey and curious really!

18 months, wife was 32, second, a couple of years later, 2 months.

ChikiTIKI · 12/10/2018 14:38

Age 27, 1st month of trying.
Now age 28, 1 year later ttc #2, just starting 4th month. Was breastfeeding for the whole of first month though so body not ready yet I don't think.

Like others I always thought it would happen pretty quickly. Years later however, I've discovered otherwise. :-(
I'm taking comfort from many of you who despite failed IVF treatment have gone on to conceive naturally. It's renewed my hope a little.
Good luck everyone. xx

Almost 31, took 8 months though might have had an early miscarriage (unusually late period) after 4 months or 'trying'.

33- conceived in a single cycle.

Everyoneiswingingit · 12/10/2018 15:27

Age 28, second month.

Desperada1234 · 12/10/2018 15:28

First go with DC1 (I was 30). Took three months with DC2 (I was 32).

8 years.
Started trying at 32, had 6 rounds of fertility treatment, decided to give up on 40th birthday & move on with our lives. Fell pregnant naturally 6 weeks later and had my baby boy (prematurely) 6 months later.
Found out I was pregnant in the last hours of 2015. New year will always be special to us now :)

Bouncingbelle so glad you got your happy ending Smile

Wow bouncy that is lovely. It seems to happen that when couples give up, they conceive naturally. Happened to my neighbour too.

YouBoggleMyMind · 12/10/2018 17:09

Almost 3 years with fertility treatment. DS is 10 months tomorrow and it's time to start thinking about no2.

YouBoggleMyMind · 12/10/2018 17:10

I was 29, DS born just after I turned 30.

Downeyhouse · 12/10/2018 17:14

With ds 1 - it took 11 months Bd I was 29.

With ds 2 - I was 31 and it took about 5 minutes!

Kemer2018 · 12/10/2018 17:20

Less than 5 minutes and I was 32.

GrumpySausage · 12/10/2018 17:23

DS 2 months
DD 2 months.

Both times I came straight off the depo injection. Told my husband both times it'd be months 😬

GrumpySausage · 12/10/2018 17:23

Oh 28 and 31 respectively

twiglet · 12/10/2018 17:26

32 and 3 months we decided to see what happens for the first year rather than actively track etc which would have been pretty pointless for us anyway as I had weird cycles. I had been off hormone contraceptive for 7 months though.

PumperLucy · 12/10/2018 17:32

All of mine were surprises whilst using contraception, whilst pg with number 4 dh had the snip.

NewBlueGoo · 12/10/2018 21:22

2 years. I was 35.

butunlikely · 12/10/2018 22:56

15 months after coming off the depo injection, at 33... But actually only 2 months after periods came back so blame the depo. No one had earned me but apparently common for it to hang around. At 35, floated the notion of a second baby and notion became reality 2 weeks later! 😳

HalfBloodPrincess · 13/10/2018 07:59

Dc1 3rd cycle (21)
Dc2 7th cycle (23)
Dc3 3rd cycle (35)
Dc4 7th cycle (36, mmc)
Dc5 3rd cycle (37, currently 8+4)

IsTheRainEverComingBack · 13/10/2018 11:05

That’s a beautiful pattern you’ve made there HalfBloodPrincess

justwantcheesee · 13/10/2018 11:07

Dc1 2 months
Dc2 2 months
Dc3 two weeks after my implant was removed

I have had miscarriages inbetween though where we had fallen pregnant unexpectedly on the pill and misscarried.

HalfBloodPrincess · 13/10/2018 11:20

Haha I know, I defo need to abstain on the 7th cycle after this one is born!

Unicorn234 · 13/10/2018 22:37

Came off the pill in January and fell pregnant in the July 😊 I am 26 but will be 27 when I have my baby 💙💗 xx
