“But it can also happen right away, so be prepared for that possibility as well.”
Thank you so much for including that, that’s not talked about enough!
When I was 35 and thinking of trying to conceive I was told it might take a while (6 to 12 months) and OB said she’d give me Clomid in 3 months. I got pregnant the same month I stopped BC and was shocked (both in a positive and negative way). The timing was horrible and high stress, it took years of therapy postpartum and I’m convinced the stress and depression over the situation caused my highrisk for pre-term status. I wish I didn’t fall victim to the idea of ‘you’re old, it will take a while’ school of thought that is so pervasive.
My second took twice as long (one month total) at age 38.
