Infertile?

At what point in your ttc journey are you classed as infertile? We have been trying for 7 months with taking a 2 month break. I had a baby in Feb and the implant taken out in April. I haven’t fallen pregnant yet but I don’t know if im just stressing and overthinking that I’m not fertile anymore 😂😩 I still ovulate…

How long did it take you to conceive?

I’m 34 just starting my TTC journey. Our first cycle didn’t take. Now I’m wondering how long it took everyone to conceive? It’d be helpful if you could include your age, as I know that matters a lot
