How long to get pregnant

Nursenic78 · May 2015

If you got pregnant naturally at 36/37 how many cycles did take? I know this is highly individual but jut wanted to get some feedback. Thank you :-)

I got pregnant at 42. We weren't really paying attention, lol, but I was off the pill for probably 12 - 18 months. Again, we really weren't trying to get pregnant, but we weren't trying not to either. We were just kinda taking whatever came our way (and we couldn't be happier).

I'm 36 and have gotten pregnant each time within 3 months of trying. I have had 3 losses though, and am now on my 4th pregnancy and hoping this is our sticky baby!

I am 35 and got pregnant on my 6th cycle. The cycle I thought for sure I was out on because of timing. I ended up ovulating early. and BD on ovulation day and day after.

We weren't trying at all actually. This is our surprise baby. Actually, we were trying NOT to get pregnant. lol God apparently had other plans!!

KaLikeAWind · May 2015

We were not planning this, but I had been off of hormonal BC for a year at least. We were using condoms and went without 2 or 3 times - not because we were trying to get pregnant, but because other reasons. Anyways, I got pregnant.

Has varied for me, it's taken me four miscarriages and two years to get this little one , I'm now 21 weeks! First mc two months, then 2nd took 6 months to concieve, then two months and then one month. Lost all those babies. This baby was conceived first month of trying again and thank god is doing great...

We were trying to prevent pregnancy but here we are!

ewenner · May 2015

I went off BC pills at age 35. It took us an entire year of trying. We talked to a fertility doc after six months, who didn't think we could conceive naturally. IUI and/or IVF were not financially feasible, so we kept on at it, and finally got pregnant naturally at age 36. What worked for us was charting my BBT and using OPKs. Best wishes to you!

marijaa333 · May 2015

I second the charting and OPKs! It took me three months of charting and one month of actually trying. Check out the TTC after 35 board, they are experts over there!

At 36 I got pregnant on my 3rd cycle, but miscarried.

At 37 I got pregnant on my 2nd cycle with this current pregnancy.

browneyes_326 · May 2015

At 34 it was a surprise

At 36 it took 3-4 cycles
This time @ 38 / 39 (38 when we started trying, 39 when we got BFP) took over a year.

I got pregnant at 38, my fourth cycle

*edit: because apparently spelling "cycle" is difficult, lol

LorMor · May 2015

This is my fourth pregnancy (2 miscarriages, one baby and now first tri).
First three pregnancies were when I was 35, and now I am 38.
Each one happened first cycle.

Makes me VERY glad I didn't mess around without contraception!

cneiding · May 2015

as soon as I ovulate after giving birth to my last...I am pregnant again! I breastfeed exclusively for a long time and my babies continue to night nurse forever too...so usually once my last baby is just over a year ovlulation returns. I have had quite a few babies since 35 and it took no longer to get pregnant than it did when I was mid 20s

Peach&Dan · May 2015

I got pregnant naturally at 38 after trying for 3.5 years. I'm now 39. No complications and my daughter is very healthy. Best to all of you Moms and your babies!

sdnyc99 · May 2015

I'm 38 & we got pregnant immediately. Had my IUD removed and was pregnant 2 weeks later. We were a little on the fence about having another and, since it was time for my IUD to come out anyway, we decided to let nature take its course. Figured we might have a few months to get used to the idea...but, nope! Here we are!

TacoSarah · May 2015

We weren't actively trying but not preventing and it took 5 cycles. That pregnancy unfortunately ended in a mc and we conceived again 2 weeks later. We were both 35 at the time of each conception.

sidey1 · May 2015

First time 38 - Total surprise, not trying..

On average got pregnant every 4 or so cycles after that loss, temping and using OPKS, one time doing IUI and fertility drugs, BPF 4 times in total until DS which was the cycle right after a chemical pregnancy at 40, With current pregnancy was about our 4th cycle ttc, used OPKS only this time.. For what it's worth, RE told us we only had a 15% chance each cycle and would go down to 5% after 40 and I had lousy test results, so clearly science isn't always an accurate predictor of fertility..

PhoenixRyuu · May 2015

I'm another unplanned, but you could also say 8 years. I tried for 5, quit for 3, avoided for a couple months but felt silly when it's not like I could do it even when I tried, so I could say I was avoiding, but I was putting forth next to no energy towards it. After 3 years I was pretty confident that nothing was going to happen, then this little surprise came along. I was 34 at the time, just turned 35 a couple weeks ago. They say that fertility is supposed to go down with age. I'm here to tell you don't count on it. I've never, ever had an accidental pregnancy before - in fact, every time I got pregnant (6 losses, chemicals to 11w2d) I was at the least charting and usually taking meds. Apparently age was what I needed because I'm 18w5d now and that's over 7 weeks further than I've ever been before.

kettlekitten · May 2015

I stopped taking the pill at 33 and got pregnant 6 months later (not actively trying), then after our first was born we just used condoms as I didn't want to take any medication while BFing. It was probably the 4th time in a space of two years that we 'forgot' to use a condom that I got pregnant again, at 36. Will be 37 when baby is born.

Ceridwen77 · May 2015

35yrs, got BFP on 6th cycle.

DjinnaG · May 2015

At 40, 3rdish cycle after removing the IUD (really the first one that wasn't completely erratic), but it was a BO. Ten cycles later at 41, second BFP.

alice2Bcheshire · May 2015

Pregnant @ 29-- 1st cycle TTC, singleton
Pregnant @ 31-- 1st cycle TTC, spontaneous fraternal twins
Pregnant @ 35-- 6th cycle of not trying, not preventing, singleton

vintagevice · May 2015

I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant with my first. This weekend I just turned 37. I've been TTC for over 7 years. It happened naturally! I'm still in shock.

MaryJo&Heath · May 2015

I'm 39. We got pregnant 2 weeks after having my IUD removed! Crazy!

beanie1977 · June 2015

I'm 37. We did IUI and a special donor (were lesbians) and were very surprised that it took on the very first try!! Most people we know who went our route took at least a couple of tries- one friend is still trying after 8 IUIs.

2cute04 · June 2015

First child at 29, 6 cycles Second child at 31 1st cycle not preventing Third pregnancy just at 35 ended in mc 8 cycles Current pregnancy only at 4 weeks, first child after 35 first cycle used OPK For me looks like age wasn't a factor, hope the same is true for you!
