Means the first time one tried to become pregnant. Doesn’t always end in giving birth.

First try means giving birth? So confused

Got married at 36.
I was 37 (miscarriage - 2 months trying)
I was almost 38 (waited 3 months; 2nd month trying) - success!
I was 39 (3rd month) - success?

Now 14 and 16 years old. Just turned 55.

Thank you so much! Reading this post gives me hope. I will seek help right away!


I'm 36 and I will ask for a referral. I want to remove my fibroids and start getting pregnant after 3 months of the surgery. But I wanna check my hormones balance, blood work so im fine and then start trying to get pregnant.

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

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).

I agree cat least get bloodwork and see what your numbers are.

But, far too many women make the mistake of getting all the tests, the blood work, etc, and never have their husband tested.

Take him with to do a semen analysis right away! It’s inexpensive, simple, and gives you both peace of mind.

So you have 3 children? I'm sorry for the miscarriages.

2 children, 5 miscarriages and no have still not conceived #3.

36: 12 months, but only two IUIs needed after male factor was finally diagnosed.
40: 7 months, four failed IUIs during that time. Last IUI was in January, got pregnant naturally in February.

31-first try
33-second try (ended in a miscarriage)
33-second try
35-first try

34 - first try
37 - 7 months of trying (have doctor appt scheduled; pre-drawn labs all "normal")

36, first try
39, 6 months
