Hope ye are enjoying the weekend? Just wondering how long did it take everyone to concieve a healthy baby, based on yours and your partner's age?

Thanks.

Both me and partner 29, I'm currently 35 weeks, and it took us 3-4 cycles. All okay for now 🙂 xx

I am 31 and partner 37. Took us 1 month of very casual trying E.g not tracking cycles or ovulation. Appreciate that we are very very fortunate. Am now 16 weeks.

I was 30, partner 31. First cycle of the pill but it ended in a miscarriage. Then three months after that, currently 28weeks. So 31 and 32.

26 and 28 - first cycle
28 and 30 - second cycle

Sparklesocks · 12/02/2023 15:21

Both 34 at conception - took 6-7 months but that was partly because I came off the pill beforehand and it took some time for my cycle to regulate and find out when I was ovulating.

Starsinthesky22 · 12/02/2023 15:44

1st - 29 and 28 - 9 months.
2nd - 33 and 32 - 1st month (ended in miscarriage), 2nd month - currently 31 weeks :)

Yes, son is healthy although was born through emergency c-section but that had nothing to do with age.

1st - both 26 and conceived the first cycle we tried

2nd - both 28. Conceived the second cycle, didn’t happen the first one where we hated every minute and couldn’t be bothered to go through with it a lot of the time!

Me 30, partner 39 - it took me 3-4 months just to regulate my cycle after coming off the pill which I had been taking for 15 years. Then we stopped trying for a while (as I didn't want to be pregnant at our wedding) and when we started again, I got pregnant within 3 months. We put no pressure on it and just thought if it's meant to happen, it will happen.

xogossipgirlxo · 13/02/2023 10:59

29-34 1st cycle (technically second, but we stopped using protection after ovulation where it was too late, so it doesn't count I think)

doughyparton · 13/02/2023 11:21

Me: 34, partner: 29. First cycle off Mirena Coil, period came back 2 weeks after removal having had it in for 4.5 years. Very lucky but we did do ovulation tracking. Currently 11 weeks.

BackOfTheMum5net · 13/02/2023 11:33

Me 37, him 38 and I think it took us about 6 months although it was made harder (no pun intended) by me working away a lot and him having caring responsibilities for his dying dad.

We did track cycles but also didn’t take it too seriously. And currently 19 weeks pregnant!

Jurassiclover · 13/02/2023 12:55

1st: me 23, dp 24, took 18 months
2nd: me 25, dp 26, 1st cycle

Number1number2 · 13/02/2023 13:37

DD1 - first try we were 28 and 29

BFP2 - third try, both 31 (and would really could the second month as a try as we only managed it once and do had a fever...what a trooper!)

sommeliermama · 13/02/2023 15:20

I'm 31 and partner 30, conceived first cycle coming off the pill. We are very lucky and grateful. Currently 13+3 and going well so far!

Londongirl87 · 13/02/2023 15:55

We were both 35 at conception and it took us 9 cycles / 8 months. Currently 11 weeks pregnant and so far so good.
