Time to Conceive for First Pregnancy over 35?

[daizee]

after a loss at 14 weeks last November we conceived on our 2nd month of actually trying this time. first month of using ov sticks . im 42 and have both been natural conceptions.

being a little older only means you may have difficulty but so do younger mums so please don't waste any time worrying on your age

my pregnancy has been pretty much hassle free a little nausea in 1st tri a bit of annoying itching in 2nd. but I feel fabulous and im loving it

It took just one BD (at the right time as we weren't trying!) this month and got BFP the other day, I'm 37, 38 in March. It was same for my daughter, 1st cycle! I was 33 then so a little younger but I still think I must be super fertile!

Took us 3 years, clomid didn't work for us, was just about to head down the IVF route and we conceived naturally. First pregnancy, I'm 37, DH is 41. I'm 7+4 weeks.

well said!

Just enjoy the process and try not to stress. The average length of time to conceive for healthy couples is within a year.

For me I started trying at age 36 and fell pregnant on the 4th cycle. I miscarried at 8.5 weeks... took a few months off then started up again and fell pregnant on the 3rd cycle. (She is now 2 yrs old).

Best not to focus on the negative because it can drive you mad. Just stay positive and patient. I really don't feel age comes into play until you are closer to 40 and even then some women have NO problems.

Hi Ladies,

I'm new here, but it seems like a friendly group. For various reasons, we're waiting until I'm 35 in a few years to start trying for our first! So excited! I know there's that common misconception out there that it becomes harder (Especially for having you first!) , but just wondering for those of you that had your first after 35, how many months or years it took to get that BFP? Thanks so much in advance!

Took us the first month we tried, then i miscarried a 7.5wks. Then we started trying again, and bam...first month we tired, and now I'm 20wks with everything running smoothly so far!
good luck!

I voted 2 year + as it took us 2 1/2 years to conceive the first time but I've just found out iam pregnant again after about 4 months I'm 37 in november

Should say we were about to start ivf when trying for our first, then i got pregnant the month before we were due to start

I am now 39 (40 in January) and just conceived our 2nd in about 6 months. Our 1st child was conceived within 1 month when I was 34 (35 in January).

Relax and it will happen

Best of luck to you
