Moms over 30 - How long did it take to conceive?

My husband and I have decided to TTC our first child.  I am 31, turning 32 in a few months and have read the stats on pregnancy odds, but would like to hear form real moms out there (over 30 maybe?) how many months did it take you to conceive?

Hubby abnd I are both average weight, in good health, and you could set a watch by my cycles.  I had a bunch of blood tests done after my most recent Pap/Yearly exam because my doc and I wanted to rule out any genetic issues (blood clots tests, anemia test etc).  All came out perfect, so fingers crossed.

I had recently turned 30 when I got pregnant with DD -- gave birth a week before my 31st birthday. It took 2 cycles with her. I'll be 33 in 3 weeks, and I'm on cycle 4, month 5 of TFAS.

Started TTC at 32. I got pregnant 10 cycles later, a few months after my 33rd birthday. Baby girl born just a few days after my 34th.

I had some wonky cycles after 14 years on BCP, and I ended up on progersterone for LPD before I got pregnant.

I am 3 weeks (and 1 day) from my 30th birthday.

I have no advice OP, I will be 30 soon and I am at 11 months. I wouldn't worry until your over 35. Even a healthy couple under the age of 35 can take a year.

Turned 34 in December, trying for 6 months, still not pregnant. Not worried yet, other than needing to drop some weight, everything checks out and I'm healthy.

Stop this shiiit right now. She said MOMS. You could have skipped over this post if you aren't one. 



TTC since October 2011.
DX with Non-IR PCOS in October 2012.
Missing RIGHT tube due to a prior surgery to remove cyst-zilla (40 lbs!) at age 12.
HSG showed tube was blocked - cleared by dye. DON'T DO CLOMID WITHOUT AN HSG!
Cycle #8 with 50mg Clomid & TI = BFN
Cycle #9 with 50mg Clomid & TI = No response.
Cycle #10 with Clomid 100mg + Ovidrel shot = BFN
Cycle #11 is a break cycle. Cycle #12 is a break cycle. (The break so nice, she did it twice!)

I'll be 32 next month and am on cycle 7. I was 27 when I got pregnant with DD and got pregnant when we skipped a condom once. I have no idea if we just got lucky with DD or my age is playing into why it's taking longer for #2. I'm figuring we just got lucky though.

I hate when people do this like TTGP is only for people that have never conceived.  Some of us are trying to have our 2nd.  Or 3rd.  Or 5th.

There definitely can be a big echo factor.  Sometimes good ("Wait a week and test again til CD60."), sometimes not good ("Take your temp whenever you want.  I hear some gals still see a rise.")

And not every pregnant woman on 1st tri is over 30.

OP, I was 32 the first time I got pregnant, has a mc at 11.5 weeks. I got pregnant again 2 cycles later (first trying) and took home my son in August. I got pregnant again 4 weeks ago.

I got pregnant with DS possibly on my 28th birthday, after just 3 cycles off of BCP, actively trying each of those cycles, but not charting or anything. Now I am 30, and have been off of BCP for about 10 cycles and actively trying for 6 cycles, and temping, charting, opks for 2 cycles, and not KU yet... So for me it's definitely harder at 30 than it was at 28! Though I have absolutely no idea if the issue has anything to do with my age or even if there is an issue.

My husband and I are both 31. We are both healthy, although, I am overweight.

I got pregnant with my first baby in our first cycle trying to conceive when I was 29. I just found out I'm pregnant with our second baby from our first cycle trying to conceive.

I was worried that my weight would be an issue this time around, but we were really lucky.

Good luck!
