Just wondering how many cycles it took everyone to conceive for healthy couples with no known issues?

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

One. 4 times. 34, 36, 38 and 42.

I was worried with no good reason.

2nd at 25 miscarried.
1st a month later
1st at 28
Then while breastfeeding had an unexpected and then miscarried pregnancy
And then took us nearly a year to conceive after that but I was still breastfeeding. Currently pregnant with that one at 31

7.5 years and 3 rounds of IVF for baby number 1. Currently pregnant at 41 with baby number 2, conceived first month! Bonkers!

I think 5-6 months first time but then had miscarriage. About 3-4 months to get pregnant again, but was tracking ovulation. I was 33

First 4 months
Second 1st month but miscarried
Third time 3 months

tracked conception and did some ovulation sticks (but I always conceived the months I was more relaxed with the ovulation sticks or forgot)

SleepyTeaZzz · 19/06/2026 20:38

User0311 · 19/06/2026 20:44

1st at 27 took two cycles
2nd at 29 took 7 cycles (then miscarried)
I got pregnant with my 3rd the following cycle

eurochick · 19/06/2026 20:49

Started aged 34 - took three years and two rounds of iui and four rounds of ivf
Second baby (trying naturally as we were done with fertility treatment) never happened.

No issues were found with either of us despite lots of testing. We were “unexplained”.

MagicThanks · 19/06/2026 20:51

17 first time, 1st 2nd & 3rd time

LettuceAndCarrots · 19/06/2026 20:51

2 cycles at 37 years old but ended in miscarriage.

Couldn't conceive after that for another two years. No idea why it took so long the second time. Had DC when I was 40.

Tried for another but it never happened.
