How Long Did It Take

Hey all over 35. Hubby and I just started ttc. Was wondering how many months of trying did it take before you wonderful older women to get the BFP. Just curious because research claims it can take a bit longer for women over 35. Thanks for you input.

I became pregnant on my third postpartum cycle.

the first time we tried it took about 18 months, i had a miscarriage the first time....then it took about 12 months to fall pregnant again.

It took us one to two months but had a few unexplained m/c's- and after the last one, pregnant after 2 cycles- now I'm 20w..

Quick question...did it take two months and then you had a few m/c's? were your periods regular?

Hi LC: I got pregnant the first month ttc (when 35) but sadly, had a miscarriage. After that, 5 months ttc. Just got my BFP last week! (am 36 now).

I was on "The Pill" and then stopped it. I got pregnant about 2 weeks after stopping the pill. They say if you are already fertile, it's an easy way to get pregnant for some. My Dr. says I am very fertile and that I am healthy so that's why it happened like that for me. He says even at my age now, I can still get pregnant easily. And just to let you know for those of you who are fertile like me, you can even get pregnant when you go into Menopause.

Hi LC. First child at 37 and became pregnant first month. Second time trying at 40, became pregnant first month...miscarried at 10 weeks. I got my period 5 weeks later and became pregnant again at first attempt :) I am now 28 weeks. Best to you!

This is #4 for me (I'm 38). Fist two are 19 and 12. My baby is 21 months old and I conceived the first month we tried (I was 35 at the time)-had her at 36 and she's perfect. I am now 16 weeks along with my LAST child and again, first time we tried it was successful! Timing is everything! If you have a normal cycle, it should go pretty smoothly! Best advice-RELAX and things will happen as God intends for them to. I am living proof! :-)

Ha! at research. I came of the pill, the following month I was pregnant (not really trying I might add). If you're healthy I think it may not take long. Good luck.

Well, I would not say timing is everything--neither is being healthy. I am very healthy, conceived my first after 2 months of trying, 2nd, took 11 months! Timing was perfect, used OPK kits and charted. I would say, timing, healthy eggs and sperm, and a lot of luck!!!

Got pregnant with #3 at age 34 (delievered at age 35) after one cycle of ttc. Now pregnant with #4 (will be 37 next month) after ttc one cycle. I thought it would take much longer because of my age. Thankfully it happened right away. Now I'm worried about m/c because of my age. Although I've never had one before. Knock wood. :)

CONT. above- so in total it took 15 months til hopefully a successful birth- everything looks great- chromosones normal etc.. I'll be 39 when I give birth..

Hello: Could someone tell me what ttc is? Thanks

 

Bree - June 28

Cindy, I think it's "trying to conceive" if I'm not mistaken.
