What age / how quick - direct link?

[PinkPunch]

I was wondering how easy you found it to conceive your first child depending on your age. Would you mind doing a quick poll to see if the the results follow a pattern or not?

Just a bit of fun really

Hope the answers don't confuse you

Good poll. Already appears to be a pattern emerging!

Still trying to conceive number one so can't really answer. although for reference I'm 31 in two weeks and I'm in month 6

i concieved my first within 4 months after the doctor told me i may never have a child. This time its taken me over a year so far

First - accidentally - one broken condom and only 3 or so cycles a year - at 18

Second....well mc in August was about 6 tries in - age 33

still here

me 25 , dh 29 took 19 months active trying but 2.5 years off the pill

Age 42, came off the pill in May and 5 months later I got a BFP

 

[Misslarue]

I voted: I was between 26-35 - It took more than 6 months

I was 26 and it took 28 months from coming off the pill to my BFP.


Edit: opps, I read the question wrong! I came off the pill at 26 and concieved at aged 28, 28 months later.

I was 33 and it happened 2nd month of trying

 

[PinkPunch]

So looking at the results, in the 18-25 category.. people are 30% more likely to conceive within 6months.

In the 26-35 group, people are 6% more likely to conceive within 6 months and over 40's have a 50% chance either way.

Hope i've read the results properly.

Thanks ladies
