I know these have been done before but I’m genuinely interested!
How long did it take you all to conceive your DC? Cycle-wise
I’ve only been ttc for 2 cycles now but love hearing about what other people’s experiences have been!

DC1 - 11 months
DC2 - literally first time of trying, which was a bit of a shock. DC1 was only 6 months old, I was still breastfeeding & we thought it would take ages. Nope!
DC3 - 4 months

DC1 third cycle,
DC2 first cycle.

Well my first baby was a lovely little surprise pregnancy when I was 20!

Currently 10 weeks with my second baby, I was really lucky to get pregnant on our second cycle. That was when I was still 22.

Ds1 11 cycles
Ds2 8 cycles

Almost 3 years. PCOS. Clomid with metformin. 1 early miscarriage and eventually conceived on round 10... DS is 14 months.

Onacleardayyoucansee · 19/02/2019 20:27

6 months and 2 months.
I was aged 27 and 32 which may be a factor.

MillyMoo25 · 19/02/2019 20:25
