We conceived ds within a month of deciding to try (we did have a fairly active couple of weeks!). dd was a complete accident, as I had only just finished breastfeeding ds, and thought that I wasn't fertile yet. I was 27 when I conceieved ds and 28 whn I conceived dd.

so far 4 months of "really serious trying" and total of 16months non-contraception.
Sad
it doesnt get any easier........

We were trying for 16 months.

We went to our GP after 12 months and we had just had the relevant tests done and got a letter through the post for an appointment to see a fertility specialists when I fell pregnant!

Its horrible getting negative pregnancy tests each month but tell her not to panic and even really healthy couples can take over 2 years to concieve.

About 2 years with first and a year with second

LucyJones · 18/04/2006 21:02

First time - 3 months
Second time - 2 months

DS1 - one night, after taking my mini pill 5 hours late!
DS2 - Conceived while on the combination pill (think my IBS messed it up) during a month that we only had sex once!
DH was sent for a vasectomy as soon as DS2 was born!

dd1 first month
dd2 first month

Dd was one contraceptive-free session Grin
Miscarried one, but that time it took about 3 months.
Ds was also around 3 months.

But my sis took around 7 years to conceive her ds, then just one month for her 2nd.

And I'm just doing a study atm on IVF and it's heartbreaking Sad

GDG · 18/04/2006 20:23

All 3 boys were conceived at first time of trying (hence small age gaps - I expected it to take at least a few months!)

I read somewhere that if you take longer to conceive it's more likely to be a boy. There was some semi-scientific explanation to it too.

Amanda01 · 18/04/2006 20:12

My little Danny Boy was conceived 1st month ...

We're on cycle 3 TTC #2 ... i hope it doesn't take too much longer!!!

I think dd was about a year (although not totally planned, we weren't using any contraception in that time)
I had a MC on the new years eve of 2002 and then became pg in the January.
I was 20 at the time.

This pg was just one month and I'm now 23.

coggy · 07/04/2006 23:00

Right......that's me converted!!

Ledodgy · 07/04/2006 22:56

DD 9 months until we did it doggy style instead of the missionary that is recommended for ttc, one go at doggy style and I got preg. Again for the baby I mc one go at doggy style and again for my ds one go at doggy style as you can tell I can highly recommend doggy style!

Tommy · 07/04/2006 22:50

DS1 - oops Grin
DS2 - 4m
number 3 (miscarriage) - can't really remember about 6m I think.
Still trying after 10 months Sad

coggy · 07/04/2006 22:46

jmum I didn't know you could have more than six months of clomid - this is encouraging for me.
