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?

23- 4 months

25- one "it'll be fine" 🤦‍♀️

First child 28 complete accident, second child 32 said lets stop trying not to get pregnant and got pregnant from the first time we had sex. So be prepared for it to happen straight away

1st Dc- I was 31 and it took 2 months.
2nd Dc - I was 33 when we started trying. It took 2.5 years. I was 36 when she was born and we’d given up trying!

1st baby at 27 - 3 months but miscarried
2nd baby at 29 - 15 months
3rd baby at 36 - around 12 months

32 and first try, twins!

31 - in the first month straight off the pill. Took us by surprise!

I was 28 and conceived after 1 month :)

Age 27 - 4 months
Age 28 - 2 months but lost at 19 weeks
Age 29 - 3 months

29 - 13 months

@MassiveSalad22 well yes my third was accidental, only had sex once in the whole month as well. No I'm probably not unusual I'm just going by how statistically likely it is to conceive each month. I also didn't want to seem insensitive or like I was gloating as I know it can be a sensitive topic like you said.

41 - pretty much straight away
43 - two months

I had a miscarriage before DD1. I think I was very lucky …

First, I was 28 & took one go 😳
Pregnant with 2nd now at age 32, took 5 months

28 - took nearly three years
33 - wasn’t trying
35 - took 1.5 years and 2 mc

turns out I had pcos, stage 4 endometriosis and adenomyosis 🤦🏼‍♀️

Yes good point apologies. I will try amend it now.

First child - 28 and took 1 month
Second child - 30 and took 2 months
Third child - 31 and we weren't trying at all (I had a mirena coil)!

Started at 30 and going to be 34 in a few months and no pregnancies until this first ivf transfer which is a chemical pregnancy. Unexplained infertility too and was told I'm more fertile than the average 🤷🏼‍♀️.

I was 28, it took 11 months.

With DC2, I'd just turned 30 and it happened the first month of trying.

DC3 took 4 months when I was 32.

27 - got pregnant the first month of trying
29 - got pregnant again first month of trying but miscarried.
30 - pregnant after 2 months of trying
36 - an accident!

I have friends who have struggled, so I realise how lucky I have been.

32, took 9 months to conceive dd
Then a 6 months but had MMC and chemical pregnancy 3 months apart at age 34, then conceived ds 4 months after at 35

I've had four children dtd once and got pregnant each time

We started trying to conceive when I was 25 and had first child when I was two months shy of 30 (there were 7 miscarriages in that time)

Age 39 first time, unprotected, DD now 7.

Child one I was 22 and I was on antibiotics with the pill and we 'risked it' thinking it would be unlikely I'd fall pregnant and then well.. she's four now!

Child two, I was 24 we got married end of November and I came off the pill two weeks before and I got my positive test in mid January. She's 2 now!

It's different for everyone though! X

35 - one shag. My ex DH is disturbingly fertile.

Started at 22. 5 miscarriages and 6 cycles of ICSI with immune therapy and I had my son at 28!
