Struggling to fall pregnant 3rd time

[Solisa]

Hey ladies, I’ve been pregnant 3 times I have two boys. (Had MC after 1st child) fell pregnant very easily a year later and had my second no issues. First child at 34 years old , second child I was 36. Struggling to fall pregnant this time, first 3 times inc the MC I fell pregnant SO easily I didn’t monitor ovulation first 2 times and second child I tracked ovulation no issues. This time I’m almost 39.. been tracking ovulation and haven’t been succesful (3rd attempt) we literally DTD the days leading to ovulation, day of and day after. I’m scratching my head thinking is something up :( anyone in similar situation?I’ve been using clear blue ovulation sticks

Sorry OP are you saying you have been trying for three months and haven’t fallen yet?

The fact you fell so quickly the first two times has absolutely no bearing on how quickly you fall this time. At your age after SIX months a doctor will speak to you about causes but three months is absolutely nothing. You got very very lucky before but that isn’t the norm. I think you need to understand these things can take longer and if only three months you aren’t struggling to conceive!

3 months is totally normal and would still be fast conception. It's chance, you were lucky. I totally get it though. 2 boys here too and one miscarriage. Every pregnancy conceived first month, I'd be getting antsy in your shoes. But there really is no need to panic, it's normal not to conceive the first month you come off the pill.

I think because the last 3 times I have been pregnant it’s been sooo easy ! I worry that is it age related now that is taking longer? Your right though I believe I have been lucky I just wanted to hear from other ladies how long it’s taken and if they are of similar age x

Anything up to a year is considered normal from a medical perspective

With my first at 37, I fell pregnant very quickly.
Second took 4 years and not even a sniff of a BFP in all that time!

Of course it does get harder the older you get but I don't think it's all down to age. I've seen a lot of posts on here from women of all ages who suffered from secondary infertility or just took longer with second and subsequent pregnancies.

There's often no rhyme or reason to it and it really is still very early days for you.

With my first I took 3 years to conceive with my second I took 2 years to conceive with my third it took a month, I believed for years because I struggled to get pregnant I'd always struggle but it doesn't work like that, 3 months although seems like forever it's normal for anything up to a year xx

I had my baby last year at 39. It took me six months to conceive and I felt like that was pretty good going!

Were you tracking ovulation throughout the six months? Xx

Please don’t call this “struggling” . It’s only been 3 months. That is well within the realms of normality.

Taking longer than 3 months is fine!! Normal. It took us almost a year to get DC2 and I was only 32

Could also be sperm quality. My friend's DH had 2 DC with his ex wife in his 20s/early 30s. Now at 35 (my friend is 37) they ttc for 7 months with no success. Assumed it was a problem her end as he had successfully conceived. They did all the tests and her results were all fine, his sperm analysis however was very poor, so they have to do IVF. They don't know if it was always poor and he just got lucky those previous times, or it deteriorated for some reason over the years.

I guess the summary is to keep trying for some more cycles and if still no luck, you BOTH should get tests done and not just assume it's you.

To a degree - my cycles are very regular and I was using a period tracking app so knew when I was ovulating, but I didn't use ovulation tests every month (I did once to check and the app was bang on).
