I was 35. Conceived in one weekend.

Avarua2 · 21/03/2023 20:34

First one I was 29, it took two months. I hadn't been on hormonal contraception for about four years prior so my cycles were natural and I was very healthy. Second one took zero months: she was conceived as soon as we agreed on it. Third one only took a couple of months too.

Inkpotlover · 21/03/2023 20:36

36, first month.

MrsSkylerWhite · 21/03/2023 20:36

Stopped breastfeeding DC2 at 11 months and fell pregnant first cycle with DC3 - aged 27
DC4 - took 5 months aged 31.

NadjaCravensworth1 · 21/03/2023 20:40

I started trying at 33 and had my daughter at 38. It took 2 years to get my periods back after the depo injection though, so I prob wasn't ovulating until 35, and then had 2 pregnancy losses before my daughter x

BelindaMelinda · 21/03/2023 20:40

21 - 3 months.

23/24 - 15 months.

30 - no time at all. Was very unplanned and being careful. Obviously not careful enough!

bravelittletiger · 21/03/2023 20:42

30 took 5 months then had a miscarriage
30 took 3 months (following above mentioned miscarriage) then had my DD aged 31

Second baby conceived by mistake (although wasn't using contraception) on the only day we had sex that cycle and baby born when I was very nearly 32

KM91 · 21/03/2023 20:45

25 started and now pregnant at 31 following ivf (no female issues found, severe male factor though)

I did fall pregnant at 22 in a previous relationship after a stomach bug whilst on the pill (so a few days were missed/not effective but that ended in a miscarriage.

Lola001 · 21/03/2023 20:46

26 just under 8 years.

dizzydizzydizzy · 21/03/2023 20:55

DC2 37 2 months

Bushbaby1234 · 21/03/2023 21:02

34 - first month
36 - first month
38 - a surprise lol

I know I'm very lucky and don't take it for granted.

Izzie94x · 21/03/2023 21:19

25 - 3 years and a round of IVF later ✌🏼

toomanysausages · 21/03/2023 23:51

30, fell pregnant the first cycle after having my coil removed. Now 26 weeks pregnant. I used one of the Clear Blue fertility monitor to track and Preseed lubricant which I like to think helped Grin

inky1991 · 22/03/2023 00:33

30 and took 19 months. Due in 4 weeks

Really hoping my 2nd doesn't take as long, it was very hard going
