I conceived dd v quickly aged 28 and am now thinking about dc2.

I'd love to know how long it took you to conceive first time around and how old you were, and the time the second and subsequent times, and your age then. If you don't mind!

It varies hugely, but I was lucky. First cycle for DS and second cycle for DD. At conception I was almost 34 and 35 years.

iMatter - ouch! Although, I suppose not much different to people who have twins :)

DC1: I was 27; 2nd month of trying (but the first month DH was away during the fertile part of my cycle)
DC2: I was 29/30: miscarried after conceiving in first or second fertile cycle during breastfeeding; gave it two two cycles without trying, tried in third, fell pregnant and that one stuck.

DS1 3 months I was 16, 17 when I had him
DD was one time without contraception. I was 21, 22 when I had her.
