  1. How long did it take you to conceive each of your children?
  2. How old were you?
  3. What form of birth control were you using when you got together with the child(ren)'s father?
  4. Have you had problems with recurrent miscarriages?

Answers from all, whether it was easy or hard to conceive! I'll explain the why's of the questions once I get a load of answers.

I had given up work to consider a career change, we were coping with one wage and decided to try for a baby. I cried every month and my dad told me to stop trying, I was also bored and decided to go back to college. Started college in September and found out I was 5 weeks pregnant second week in November, so my dad was right, as soon as I stopped thinking about it and concentrated on somthing else I became pregnant.
