First cycle off the pill I mean

festivefriedawhingesagain · 26/11/2010 10:52

Yes, twice. First cycle of the pill both times too. Don't know why I was so surprised the second time but I was.

mrsshackleton · 26/11/2010 10:48

twice again
And was 35 and 37

lostinwales · 26/11/2010 10:20

DS1 9 months
DS2 6 months
DS3- gave birth 41 weeks to the day I had my coil removed (was overdue), DH was gutted, but at least he had a very good month!

BakuMum · 26/11/2010 10:13

Yes, twice. Well, second try the fist time and first try the second. I was using a Boots Persona for contraceptive purposes, so I knew when I ovulated exactly and was able to time it well. Not sure how well it would work now I am over 40!

KenDoddsDadsDog · 26/11/2010 10:06

I did first time as used an ovulation kit.

hmmSleep · 26/11/2010 10:05

Yes first 2 times, 3rd time took about a year.

Miffles · 26/11/2010 10:02

Nope, no such luck...a year later and starting the clomid today Smile

harassedinherTINSELpants · 26/11/2010 09:59

Yes all 3 times!! I was 18, 20 and 36. Oh and once unplanned which started and ended in a mc as I had no idea I was even pg until I mc'd.

Unfortunately at 40 I'm now on cycle 6 .

KangarooCaught · 25/11/2010 23:16

Yes, for all the dc (x3), dh highly impressed with himself but it's not something he can really boast about, except to me, without looking like a jerk Grin

LoopyLoops · 25/11/2010 23:07

Was breastfeeding too.

LoopyLoops · 25/11/2010 23:07

Yes. Unprotected sex once (changed our minds about TTC).

thefirstMrsDeVere · 25/11/2010 23:03

Yep and I was 42

(beat yah Grin)

Mind you I wasnt Grin at the time. I had reckoned on at least a year of ttc. Imagine my suprise! I was like a clueless teenager for about a month. Walking around with my mouth agape muttering 'how did that happen?'

PuraVida · 25/11/2010 23:03

Me. One shag done. Now I want another and am starting to fear the opposite will apply

reup · 25/11/2010 22:53

Yes and I was 36.

ChristianaCatesby · 25/11/2010 22:44

Yes, four times. (resulted in two mcs, two dds)

second time round yes - after 2 years of trying first time

drivingmissdaisy · 25/11/2010 22:40

Yes, three times.

chocolatestar · 25/11/2010 22:35

Yep, both times.

bintofbohemia · 25/11/2010 21:40

DS1 - accident
DS2 - decided to try, did it once, bobs yer uncle.

I did use Persona as contraception until I got pregnant the first time (although I ignored it that time with DS1) and used it with DS2 to know when to try.

gemma4d · 25/11/2010 19:54

year and a quarter first time round.

First attempt second time round.

But I used ovulation sticks, which I bless (and OH curses!). Twas a shock!

JuneBugJr · 25/11/2010 19:47

Yes, Twice. Both planned, only done it the once in each cycle too, as dp works away. Currently pregnant with dc2, and have already been to see about getting my tubes tied, and am hassling DP to get the snip just to cover all bases!

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 25/11/2010 19:43

Yes with DS, DC2 we conceived second month.

cowboy - DH is also very proud of himself Grin

Lynli - goodness I'm so sorry :(
