How long did it take to conceive?

[nearlymumofone]

Hello.

Just popping by from the conception thread.... I know they say that 6 months is an average to conceive, but I was wondering if I could do a bit of a poll census.

Thank you!

[Florin]

20 months for us now nearly 6 weeks pregnant.
Took ovarian drilling and 100mg of clomid but got there in the end. Good luck I know how frustrating it is waiting for your BFP

[nearlymumofone]

Congrats Florin! x

[happenstance]

One to many with DD 3 years ago

and 5 months with DC 2 including a chemical pregnancy the month before BFP

[happenstance]

Congratulations Florin that's fantastic news

[MrsHuxtable]

2 weeks. I was a little shocked as I expected it to take much longer...

[misslaughalot]

5 months for us, got my BFP on Saturday, Dr says I'm 6 weeks gone tomorrow!

[MrsCog]

3 months - concieved the first month we used pre-seed - I always wonder if we would have conceived that month without it...

With 2 of my DC, I was on the pill. One of my sons we had sex once without using contraception and my other son we used a condom that split so I took the map and still there was a little blue line.
The only one of our 5 that was planned took about 5 mths but that was after a m/c.

DS - 1 month
Then 4 months but had a misacrriage
DD - 3 months
Tried for over a year for another but have given up. Think my ovaries are knackered

[biglips]

dc1 - werent trying but wasnt on the pill or using contraception - 6 mths
dc2 - 2 months
dc3 - 2 weeks

[FRowlands]

2 months

[MissRee]

2 years following laparotomy and 2 laparoscopies

[SurprisEs]

DD was conceived the first time I didn't use a condom. Hadn't been on the pill for a good 6 months before that.

Dc2 2 months.

[Dutchie77]

2 attempts. I thought exactly the same...'Ah well, I am 33.. it will probably take 6 months at least'.

31 weeks pregnant now!

[PotteringAlong]

7 weeks after coming off depo. A bit of a shock as had prepared myself for it to take months / years.

[girliefriend]

1 night (fertile myrtle!!!)

[Kayano]

-1 month.

We were going to start ttc on June
But somehow it happened in may so didn't even get to have some fun trying

[theidsalright]

8 months. Two months after being told there was no way we would conceive naturally (semen issues) for the second time in 4 years (after one DC and one MC!)

The month we got pregnant we threw every thing at it. Sex every day for ten days (twice one day!), preseed lube, no alcohol for 2 months previously, DH vitamined up to the eye balls and also abstinent. Good luck!

DS1 - assumed it would happen quickly, took 9 months.
DS2 -assumed it would take at least the same amount of time and probably longer, was pregnant less than 24 hours later...

[Jamdoughnutfiend]

DD1 and DD2 both 1 month. DD2 we only did it once as we were staying with my mother and she never goes out!

[items]

DS1 - First time
DD1 - Second time

[ballinderrymum]

DD - took 9 months
have been ttc for 5 months now

glad i'm reading this thread as i assumed it'd happen very quick second time round - not so it would appear. [hconfused]

[Maisiethemorningsidecat]

Months and months of fertility treatment with DC1

2 weeks with DC3

Years of veering between being a bit lax and being fastidious with the contraception

Family planning is clearly beyond us.

[Maisiethemorningsidecat]

DC3 was years, I mean

[Maisiethemorningsidecat]

Bollocks, I'm not with it tonight. 2 weeks with DC2, years with DC3
