Blue2020 · 25/01/2023 17:38

Was 30- first cycle after stopping the mini pill, resulted in a miscarriage. Then three cycles after that to conceive again.

I was 26 when we actively tried for a child and conceived first time. This was our 2nd child though.

With our first child, I was 20 when she was conceived. We weren't actively trying but she has been an absolute blessing.

21 - came off the pill to have the depo and conceived in between so 1 cycle

user467892 · 25/01/2023 17:52

The month I turned 20. Fell pregnant first cycle but sadly miscarried at 3 months. Waited a few months and then up getting pregnant again first cycle and gave birth at 21 ☺️

Napmum · 25/01/2023 17:53

34 and did not try I just stopped hormonal birth control and tried through temp and symptom method and failed pretty quick!

Now 39 and got a positive result after 3months.

Helenahandkart · 25/01/2023 17:53

35 and was never successful, despite 9 rounds of ivf

allfurcoatnoknickers · 25/01/2023 17:56

32 and 35. Took about 3 months the first time and 5 the second, and I have bonkers irregular cycles, so the second time I think I only had 3 periods.

Teafor1please · 25/01/2023 17:57

28 and 32, very fortunate to have conceived both times first cycle.

SirSidneyRuffDiamond · 25/01/2023 17:57

23 and finally conceived (naturally in the end) 14 years later

Ihatethinkingofusernamez · 25/01/2023 18:00

34 and still trying a year and a half later...

HildasLostSock · 25/01/2023 18:01

37 (although I didn't track/do OPKs) took 2 years. Again at 42, took 2.5 years. Would have started younger but didn't meet DP until I was 35.

Franticbutterfly · 25/01/2023 18:03

26, came of the pill and got pg that month. Then at 28 it took 3 months to fall pg, at 30 we weren't taking adequate precautions and I had a surprise baby.

doadeer · 25/01/2023 18:06

I was 28 and still not sure how it happened 😂

whizzpopping · 25/01/2023 18:07

32 I think - it took 2 years to finally happen. Got off to a slow start with my periods stopping after coming off the pill

SnowSnow · 25/01/2023 18:07

27 and finally pregnant now at 34 😍

DarkNecessities · 25/01/2023 18:07

  1. It was very well planned. I had been on depo since I was 17 and knew it could take 2 years to be completely out of my system so I came off of it at 26 and I took the pill until 27 then I got married and stopped contraception completely, we planned to wait a year to let my cycles return to normal and for all hormones to be gone but ended up getting pregnant about 10months later when we got a bit lapse. With my second a 3 year gap was planned so I stopped taking my pill when my son was 2 and then my second was born 3 days after my first birthday so we got a very nearly exactly 3 year age gap!!
