At 35 it took me 4m, at 38 it took 8m. My bff got pregnant first time round at 37! It's not all doom and gloom.

Amusingly, both times it happened after a period of stress had been relieved. So when people say 'just relax and it'll happen'... they were right! I'll never tell them of course 😉

Hey!

Turned 35 in April.
Started trying in June after being in the pull for 20 years.
Pregnant by August

Currently just under 11 weeks.

I have to pinch myself when I think just how lucky and blessed we have been x

Matildahoney · 13/10/2023 22:59

40, and took 6 months & I miscarried at 12 weeks, then another 7 months and I'm currently 28 weeks.

SouthLondonMum22 · 13/10/2023 23:01

Me! 1st month both times. I was 35 with first DC and will be 37 with twin DC's.

CraigNotCreg · 13/10/2023 23:10

I conceived straight away at 35 and again at 37.

Im 35 and fell pregnant on the first month. Very surprised as my first pregnancy i was 30 and it took 10 months.

neverwakeasleepingbaby · 14/10/2023 07:04

First baby took 10 months and 2 pregnancy losses to get pregnant at 33. Second baby was first month of trying at 36. Currently 38 weeks pregnant. I was very surprised given the trouble getting to the first one.
Good luck everyone 🍀

Tabbylady · 14/10/2023 07:22

I turned 35 in October
Came off the pill at Christmas
Positive pregnancy test 10th January! I hadn't even had a period.

Was quite surprised but actually it had been a similar story with our first, who I conceived at 31

lavendersbluedillydilly12 · 14/10/2023 07:25

Second baby - due in 8 days. I'm 37 now and got pregnant maybe 3rd cycle. I was still breast feeding my first who was born just before I turned 36. He came 4th cycle.

TheBirdintheCave · 14/10/2023 07:30

I'm 37 and it's taken 8 months to get pregnant with this baby BUT I've suffered recurrent miscarriage so that's 8 months since the last MMC and we did try IVF in between which resulted in a chemical in July.

In total we've been trying since Dec 2021 and this (9+2) is the furthest we've got so far.

My first was born in 2020 when I was 34 after 15 months of trying.

LizzeyBenett · 14/10/2023 09:33

Just got my BFP 2 years ttc I'm 36. Was literally just starting my first round of IVF meds and took a whim to test just to be sure .

Busylizzie85 · 14/10/2023 09:38

I'm 38 pregnant with my second, had my first at 36 (got pregnant at 35) took us 4 months to conceive with first and this time round about 6 months roughly!

Persipan · 14/10/2023 09:41

I'm 46, 9w pregnant with #2 (had the first at 43). A lot of science was involved.

Retrogamer · 14/10/2023 09:45

I am 36, I had a missed miscarriage which took us 3 years. But two months after that I conceived again.

Edited because of my terrible typing.

Pennyroses · 14/10/2023 10:40

I'm 37 and pregnant with my 4th. My others are 16, 14 and 13 so it's quite the gap!

aggywaggy · 14/10/2023 10:45

I’m 36 but will be 37 when the baby is born. Currently 12 weeks with my first. It took us one cycle to conceive which was a nice surprise

Glitterb · 14/10/2023 10:56

35 y/o and currently 38 weeks pregnant with first baby. Conceived first month of coming off the pill at Christmas! A big shock it happened so quickly!

Congratulations im considering no 4 youngest nearly 10 so large gap. Was you're 4th planned? How long did it take concieve?
