There’s no normal. But if you’re impatient, bring some math into things or get on clomid. Also- just you and your partner go for a checkup of fertility. It’s better knowing if there’s challenges sooner rather than later.
Yes. Almost 16 months. There's no 'normal' either. I was an older mom so I guess I thought it make take a while. Stay positive about it all. That's key. 👍
With my first, we conceived on the first cycle trying. We started trying for our second 2.5 years ago and have had 2 losses in the process (10 months to conceive the the first go, 8 months for the 2nd and 5 months for the 3rd attempt). Currently 7.5 weeks and 🤞🏻🤞🏻 this one sticks around. For whatever reason I never expected trying for a 2nd would be as easy as our first, but I didn’t think it would be this difficult either. It’s a draining and humbling process. I agree with trying to stay positive, but also totally understand sometimes when you realize you’re starting your period yet again, it’s easier said than done.
Thank you Marketing 1!
Took 6 months ... but I was using the Clue app to help work out the best time/s 😉
Two full years of fertility treatments after 8mo of trying to conceive
Thanks all for your responses. I’m relatively young from a fertility perspective and I wanted to take a laissez faire approach to it all, without realizing how much it would scare me if it didn’t happen quickly. It helps to hear others stories.
I was “young” and my fertility dr said so at the beginning too. Rounds of IUI and IVF later and we ended up using an egg donor because I was hormonally the equivalent of menopausal before I was 35
5 years. No identifiable issues Did not want to medicate or intervene. It worked out, but I was mentally ok with it if things had gone the other way.
My doctor told me that if you're 35+, you should contact a fertility specialist after 6 months of trying. Otherwise, you might explore that route after a year.
Note - this is just go check that everything is fine so you don’t lose too much time. This doesn’t mean start ivf or anything like that
I use a combo of an app like flo and an ovulation kit. Start trying when the flo window tells you but double check when your ovulation date is with the kit, because it doesn’t always follow the calendar. There is a TINY window of time each month that it can happen (like 6 days) and the highest chances are around ovulation day so you really increase your chances if you nail the math.
Three months the first time. 3-4 years the second time, but we were more calculated with those ovulation strips and an app the first time. Being older and having had a rough delivery and first couple of years with the first, we were more of the mindset “if it happens, it happens” and eventually it did again without intervention. We both travel a lot and are over 35, so that plays a part.
