Inchysaurus · 25/01/2023 21:47

30 and had dd at 36 and DS at 40 but had fertility issues so had 7 rounds of ivf and 4 mc during that time

doodlepoodlenoodle · 25/01/2023 21:52

I was 29 with DD, took 4 months

I'm 38 now (with new partner) no luck yet, this is our 3rd month of trying and I'm currently in the two week wait so fingers crossed Star🤞🏻

24, took 17 months.
28 took 8 months.
31 took 7 months.
33 took 1 month.

We are the Benjamin Button of fertility.

Me too! Took 1 year at aged 22 to get pregnant with my youngest, then each child took less time until I conceived my youngest aged 32 while on the pill.

Helenahandkart · 25/01/2023 17:53

35 and was never successful, despite 9 rounds of ivf

I'm so sorry to hear this. Can't be nice reading all the "conceived on first month" replies here either. Big hugs
