How long did it take you to conceive?

Hi, just curious,
Especially if you conceived quickly with first baby, was it the same for baby number 2?
I had a baby 18 months ago, and we conceived the first month of trying, had sex twice, and bfp 10dpo on Frer.
I knew something was up, as I felt awful from about 8dpo, nausea, couldn't stomach smell of pizza or coffee.

Just wondering / hoping it's going to be a quick conception again!

It took me 11 months to conceive DC1, then 1 month to conceive DC2, which was great, but a bit of a shock especially as I was still breastfeeding. We thought it would take ages again but ended up with a 16 month age gap. DC3 took 4 months to conceive, I think.

First = 8 months. Second = I'll get back to you (16 months and counting)

Ive had 4 pregnancies, the first we conceived on the 3rd cycle, but the 3 after that were all conceived on the first month. We are very lucky I know.

For us it was 1st month both times. Dh thought we would have a few months of fun trying for a baby 😂😂😂😂
