Thank you! Yes it was planned, took 7 months to conceive this time

Me! I’m 36, took about 3 years of no contraception, and a year of actively trying.

I’m 37 and due around my 38th birthday. It took about 4-5 cycles. I was thinking of not trying the cycle we were successful as it’d mean a Christmas baby and we already have quite a lot of birthdays in the family then. I had a cold for most of the time anyway so ended up just DTD once and thinking it wouldn’t be successful but it was!

Just had a baby at 38, soon to be 39.

Second baby. Started trying to conceive, (well stopped trying not to more accurately) 7.5 yrs ago. Mentally I'd given up on it a couple of years ago and started talking to dh a year ago about going back to contraception and officially giving up. Seems to have scared our bodies into finally conceiving!

I’m 38 and will be 39 when the baby is born. Baby was a happy accident. We have one other DC who is 2.

Congrats how many cycles trying or was it first try?

So it took about 10 months with my first (32) but this time I came off the pill (35) and fell pregnant the first month :o

I’m nearly 37 and expecting baby number 2 who took once to conceive at 4 months postpartum. In stark contrast my first took me 9 years so you can imagine it was a huge shock to find myself pregnant again so soon. Truly believed it was a one off!

Anyflippingname · 14/10/2023 20:30

34, 36, 38. Fell pregnant first cycle each time.

jolies1 · 14/10/2023 20:34

36, a year of no contraception but the first month using a fertility tracker app and we got lucky!

Tryingtoconceivenumber2 · 14/10/2023 20:34

I am 36 (also 36 when conceived) and currently 34 weeks pregnant with baby #2.

It took me 3 months to conceive this time which was the same amount of time it took when I was 32 for baby #1. Been very lucky. Good luck x

Givemepickles · 14/10/2023 21:29

Me! I'm 38 and pregnant with DC2 with one month trying. DH very disappointed it didn't take longer 😉

Pregnant at 36 with DS also one try.

Unexpectedlysinglemum · 14/10/2023 22:26

At 35 it took me one month x

Blueskiesforecast · 27/11/2023 09:34

At 37 , it took two months after having polyp removed, and one month of proper effort.

Necessitynamechange · 27/11/2023 09:34
  1. It was an accident 🫠
Winnipeggy · 27/11/2023 09:39

Currently 39 and 6 weeks, took about 6 months of trying but also have a 20 month old who took a few years to happen. Don't give up!

MoonIightDreamer · 27/11/2023 11:48

This will be our first baby.
Trying for a baby for 18 years.

Nocoffeenotalkie · 28/11/2023 07:09

I'm 41 and 6 weeks. Took 11 years and will be my second if all goes well.

Hello! I'm 38 and 8 weeks! Really happy to see this thread ☺️ If this goes ok, it will be my 2nd. I'll be 39 when it arrives.

MrsCass88 · 28/11/2023 13:44

I'm 35 ( 36 in March) currently 33 weeks pregnant. Took just under a year to conceive. Feeling constantly thankful! 😊

Vittoriosa · 28/11/2023 19:09

Me! Mine was a surprise 3rd baby so not ttc! 9 years since last pregnancy and will be 38 giving birth.

Littlemiss42andfabulous · 28/11/2023 23:34

I was 41 when I had my daughter, which took 13 months of trying. Two years later, aged 43 and I'm currently 35 weeks pregnant with number two, and conceived after just 5 months of trying.
