How old were you when you started TTC and how long did it take?

[Benji1998]

25, looking to start a family in the next year or so all being well.

How old were you and how long did it take?

My partner and I are both 29 and it took us 3 months. Our little girl was born 2 days ago on Mother's Day 🥰 good luck OP xxx

First child- 32 and took 11 months
Second child - 36 and took 2 months

First baby at 23 2 months, second baby at 26 1 month and third baby at 34 1 month. I have also miscarried at 29, 31, 32 & 33 and it took me 1 month to conceive them too. I do think I'm very fertile, but didn't have a good track record of staying pregnant pregnant past 6 weeks.

Started trying at 23, fell pregnant first cycle, ended in mmc then took another 3 cycles to fall pregnant again. I had been off the pill for 2 years prior to this though

First baby I was 24 and it took 3 months.

Currently pregnant with my second at 27 and it took 1 month. Took us by surprise as we thought second babies took longer to conceive!

1st child 32 - first month
2nd child 35 - first month

very lucky x

Within days, aged 31

34 / 9months
36 / 1 month

30 - 3 months
31 - 5 minutes!
34 - 3 months
36 - 5 months

Then the other 5 pregnancies ' just happened ' without planning nor knowing fertile times. I think a lot of pregnancies occured like this throughout the ages..

34- first bloody go, literally. We were living apart and tried one weekend.
36- 3 months
39- 5 months

39 and immediately (much to my husbands disappointment 😂).

I think you will upset if you are TTC and it's not happening if you read this thread so may be it should come with a warning?

1st DC - I was 30 and it took 17 months

2nd DC - I was 34 and only took 2 months

Aged 32 - 38 months...(other end of spectrum to some here but provides some balance). Good luck when you do start TTC 🙏

24 - 1 time (not 1 cycle. 1 time - surprise baby)
27 - 1 cycle, no idea how many times
32 - 1 cycle sort of trying then pissed off it didn’t happen so then 1 cycle properly trying.

28 - 2 months
31 - 2 months

41 - first cycle.

Congratulations! ❤️

35 for DC1. Conceived first time.
36 for DC2. Conceived first time.

I had the worst pregnancies (HG and GD) though so that was my payback!

Took 3 months for first child but sadly lost it. Rainbow baby took 6 months x

Was 30. Conceived rainbow baby at 31 x

Started trying at 34 - took 18 months with one MC after 9 months. Little one is now 17 months :)

It's only taken once every time I've been pregnant from my twenties to the latest at 34/35. But out of 5 pregnancies I have one child and am 33 weeks with the second. No hormonal contraceptives apart from 6 weeks years ago. I catch really easily but keeping them is my problem. Part of the fertility swings and roundabouts.

40, four months. Again at 42, again four months!
