Any success stories of conceiving in the first month of trying?

Hi guys, been reading loads of threads over the past few days. I am now 2dpo on my first cycle of ttc #1. I've created this thread to see if anyone had any success In conceiving in the first month or so. Really trying not to be crazy or obsessive but this is all new to me! I came off the pill last month so I know there's an unlikely chance of getting pregnant due to hormones. But if anyone has any comments, feel free to share!
Flowers Good luck to everyone xx

Yes both times. Said let's have a baby and was preg 3 weeks later! Was a bit of a shock the first time as was expecting it to take 6 months or so.

Oh yes, 5 children and 2 miscarriages later I can testify to that. Every single time. Just think about all the accidental pregnancies there are too.

My heart aches for those who struggle. My best friend went through it and I used to feel so guilty.

Good luck with TTC.

I’m pregnant with DC1 and was convinced it would take a while to conceive but it happened on the very first try of the very first cycle! It was crazy and very lucky but it does happen! Smile

thecanaries · 15/10/2017 23:01

Yes both - DS1 and current pregnancy and was 35 y/o and 38 y/o respectively . Good luck

barefloorboards · 15/10/2017 22:58

I fell with my son within a month. I thought it could take up to a yearShock so I was very surprised! . I was in my mid twenties and taking the contraceptive pill since I turned 16 with no breaks.

WhyTheHeckMe · 15/10/2017 22:57

Pregnancy 1 - conceived cycle 1
Pregnancy 2 - conceived cycle 1 but had mc
Pregnancy 3 - conceived cycle 1 again. Now 13 weeks pregnant

I feel extremely lucky and have never taken this for granted. I was told I would never conceive naturally so to me they're all unbelievable still! Good luck OP and try and enjoy the journey

Hulaballoo · 15/10/2017 22:52

Dd1 was conceived first time trying... Then I had a chemical pregnancy but I think due to stress and trauma at the time... But then fell quickly the month after with Dd2... It's only now 7 years later that I'm on cycle 4 and it's pricing tricky😕 stay positive xx

Yes, my first was a happy oops and my third was another 1st trier much to my husbands dismay as he was hoping for several months of sex. I go right off it when pregnant!

capercaillie · 15/10/2017 21:41

Both mine were conceived in 1st month!

Earslaps · 15/10/2017 21:38

First month of trying with DS1. Was a bit of a shock when I got a bfp!

A week or so before I did the test I had crampy pains, which I thought was my period coming, so I had a very rare steak and a large carafe of wine thinking it was fine as not pregnant. Must have been implantation pains though. Stupidly I did exactly the same thing when I got pregnant with ds2!

He took two months of trying, but I think that was only because we were on holiday and that messed up my cycle, so we weren’t trying at the right time.

Pastaagain78 · 15/10/2017 21:28

DS1 4 months, DS2 1 month, DS3 2 months

ASqueakingInTheShrubbery · 15/10/2017 21:25

DD conceived within 2 weeks of having the implant out. We weren't even having loads of sex. We were going to start trying properly when my period came back so I could track it.

ColdTattyWaitingForSummer · 15/10/2017 21:23

Ds1+2 both conceived first month of trying. Never tracked ovulation, just dtd pretty much every day that month.

SammySays · 15/10/2017 21:14

I have a success story! Husband and I decided to start trying so came off the pill (had been on for 10yrs and it stopped my periods completely as it was a no break pill so expected a difficult time). I waited one month until I had a period and we started trying. 2 weeks later I ovulated so we did the deed every other day over the course of a week and conceived ☺ our perfect little girl is now 2years old. We were so lucky. Good luck to everyone trying x

caledonianclown · 15/10/2017 21:14

DD was conceived first month, DH had to have IVF with his XW to conceive their DS so we really weren’t expecting anything, was a bit gobsmacked it happened at all never mind so quickly!

DramaAlpaca · 15/10/2017 21:13

I was pretty much the same as a poster above, it took almost a year to get DC1, but I conceived DC2 first time of trying even though I was still breastfeeding DC1. That was a bit of a surprise.

NukaColaGirl · 15/10/2017 21:12

All 7 took 1 cycle. Blush

I miscarried 3.

18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 27, 28 were my ages.

Don't seem to have an issue getting pregnant but staying pregnant seems to be an issue for me.

AnnoyedByAlfieBear · 15/10/2017 21:09

4 pregnancies (2 miscarriages) and all were conceived in the first month.

Good luck!

I'm glad it can happen after one month! Even if it was a one hit wonder! Wondering what will be in store for me this week, I lift heavy boxes at work (pharmacy) and am really worried it could effect contraception? Don't really want anyone at work to know in case I become pregnant and lose it. Does anyone know of any solution?
