Hey,

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 26 when I conceived. Took a year of occasional unprotected sex but was told I wouldn't be able to conceive naturally so we weren't trying. I'm so glad I went to the Dr about my menstrual cycle in my 20s and not in my 30s. If I waited until my 30s I may never have conceived, especially as fertility naturally declines in your 30s and a bigger decline in your late 30s and 40s.

Both 28 - 4 cycles but MC, then 1 cycle but MC, then 2 cycles and healthy pregnancy.

Both 31 - 4 cycles but MC, then 3 cycles and so far okay (early days still)

38 and 43, took 5 years but a lot of this was getting DEPO out of my system and we weren't trying every month. Also 2 m/c's in between. But healthy baby and trying for another x

StEtienne93 · 09/10/2023 23:52

I was 32 and partner 33. I'd been on the pill for 17 years and was expecting it to take a while but it didn't. I fell pregnant after 2 cycles, but then miscarried. Only took another 2 cycles to get pregnant again, and thankfully that pregnancy was successful.
