How many months?

Hi lovely pregnant ladies,

How many months did it take you to conceive your first? I only really want to know if it was more than one cycle because that ship has sailed my friends...

Thanks

2 cycles, but cycles were 6 weeks long so about 3 months.

I was off my pill for 6 months but actually trying for 4 months of that Smile

Then I take spatone liquid and vitamin B12 liquid

Pregnant women should take double the iron sachets, so 2 x a day. And definitely get the one with apple mixed in already as you absorb iron so much better with vitamin c. It in the link anyway

ChampooPapi · 01/05/2020 14:01

Obviously wrong thread, baby brain 🤦

Lorenzo3000 · 01/05/2020 14:01

4 years and a round of IVF for DS1 and 0 months for DS2 as he was a lovely little surprise

MonaLisaDoesntSmile · 01/05/2020 15:25

Straight away with the first, second was on and off throughout the year, didn't with first time round, we took a break, and then after second cycle was pregnant. Women in my family all had babies really late, I was 34 and 36.

20 - 1 night
36 - 20months
38 - 3months

Lozz22 · 01/05/2020 15:38

14 years for my first, then the next 3 pretty quickly but all miscarried before and at 9 weeks

usersouthcoast · 01/05/2020 15:39

14 months for my first (I was 33), and two months for my twins.

WhatWouldPennyDo · 01/05/2020 16:10

toomuchteaandcake · 01/05/2020 18:03

1st time lucky. Nearly died of shock

opticaldelusion · 01/05/2020 18:05

Eight years.

Togepi · 01/05/2020 18:06

First try! Was expecting it to take a lot longer.

EarlGreyT · 01/05/2020 18:16

Almost 5 years. In my mind cycles are IVF cycles not menstrual cycles. And it took 6 of them.

Mucklowe · 01/05/2020 18:19

Seventh cycle. I was 38 and DH was 29.
