35- took 3 cycles, got pregnant just before my 36th birthday.
Going to try for number two next year when I'll be 38, hoping we'll be lucky again.

29, got pregnancy absolutely first time we tried 😮(my mum did warn me she got UTD really easily!)

Second time was 32 and it took 4-5 months as my periods took a while to regularise after I came off the pill that time.

33 and took 14 months (had a chemical after 6 months)

MissDolly95 · 22/02/2024 21:48

24 I fell pregnant with a surprise baby, we then lost that baby at 8 weeks. Then we started trying after my 25th birthday, had 3 more early losses. Fell pregnant the month of my 26th birthday, was a successful pregnancy and she now nearly 2. September 2023 I found out I was pregnant again (not planned but a very much wanted surprise) most plain sailing conception ever, no issues. Now 23 weeks pregnant

LiIacMoon · 22/02/2024 23:00

We started trying at 20 and were finally expecting our first at 38

JRTfan · 23/02/2024 15:40

Started trying at 28
Currently pregnant with my 1st at 40 yep it took 12 years! Lots of IVF and heartache..
Never thought I'd be a FTM at 40 but here we are!

Upsidedowncat · 23/02/2024 15:45
  1. Fell first try
AnonymousXXIX · 23/02/2024 15:52

30, took 14 months (discovered severe male factor infertility about 9 months in, but conceived naturally while waiting for ICSI approval).

Then 32, only took about 8 months (to our utter surprise?).
