If you are 35+ how long Did it take you to conceive?

I’m about to turn 36 and we have been TTC for 3 months now. I’m scared it’s not happening.

There will be a huge range. If you are stressed about it, forget your OB/Gyn. Head straight to the RE.

This. I’d give it 3 more months. Then head to the RE. And step away from this thread.

I conceived #2 at 36. Got pregnant at first try, but it was a dud, had D&C. Then got pregnant again at first try 2 mo after (when doc said ok to try again).

Sex just one time in the entire month at age 35. First month we tried and DH was traveling that month so I thought it surely was not going to work. Pregnant. Second pregnancy was also from the first try, age 38. Trisomy 2; I terminated. Third pregnancy at 39, second month trying, healthy DC #2. Kids are older now and amazing. I cannot imagine better kids! I am so glad I got pregnant when I did because otherwise I would not have ended up with those children.
Good luck! It will happen.

This, except go to RE now. 3 months isn't unusual, but just in case something is up, you may as well start looking into it. (This coming from someone with good insurance, and so RE didn't represent a material additional cost to us).

1st try, both times, (34 and 37) but I was very very diligent with taking my temp and doing ovulation strips.
