Hi all just curious really how long did it take to conceive your second baby and how old were you the second time? 😁

@Hopingformydb

OK so I decided to test today because Ive felt off.. im due AF on Monday my OPKs never picked up a surge.. and now I've had a faint line on a cheapie strip and this on a frer
Yay!!!! Congratulations! So exciting.

No1 took 4 years with 7 miscarriages (i was 29)
No2 we weren't actively trying but we weren't not trying either if that makes sense. Conceived when no1 was 17 months old (I was 31)
No3 on month two of trying. Ds is 13 months (I'm 33)

OMG congrats! That teaches me to look at the full thread before posting haha!

DwangelaForever · 10/02/2021 14:45

DD I was 25 and it took me 8 months!
DS I was 27 and it took me 3 months

I had an unplanned pregnancy between the two that resulted in MC.

The weirdest thing ever was that ALL of my pregnancies were conceived in January lol - my kids due dates were exactly the same 2 years apart.

I always joke to hubby that I need to stop having sex in January.

[quote Hopingformydb]@crazydoglady123 oh really.. has your new partner been checked out for fertility sperm count? Just with it being 24 months and your 1st was so quick? Sorry I'm not trying to be nosy or rude just a genuine question 2 years seems like a long time x[/quote]
Yeah his first SA showed low concentration and low normal forms but his second SA was loads better and my fertility consultant is happy with his results and sees me as the problem. After having #1 I bled for quite a long time and lost a lot of clots so had a lot of swabs and scans and just in general had a few gynae problems...have PCO, had a large ovarian cyst, had my coil started to embed in my uterus (clearly not my strongest part of my body 🤣) but my main treatment has been ovulation induction

First cycle after finishing breastfeeding despite supposedly being careful.

I was 34 and it happened straight away.

merryhouse · 10/02/2021 11:00

Conception isn't affected by the quality of the eggs. If a sperm reaches it it'll be fertilised.

Whether the result is viable may be an issue, but pretty unlikely to have made a difference by the age of 30.

merryhouse · 10/02/2021 10:56

first one took 7 months aged 29, second took 2 months aged 33.

My sister took 2 months each time, aged almost 35 and nearly 37.

Thanks everyone these have made me feel a bit better i just have it in my head that my age now (i know 30 is still young but eggs would have decreased since i was 20) time on pill 9 years, and length since my last pregnancy may impact it negatively like my body will think what you doing?? Its been 10 years 🤣🤣🤣

1st baby three months from coming off the pill age 27.
2nd baby aged 29 after 13 months trying, however I was still breastfeeding for four months of that. Then conceived first month on Metformin due to very irregular periods which I'd never had a problem with before my first baby.

@TwirpingBird 🤣🤣🤣 9 minutes hahahaha hardly worth the 9 months in comparison is it haha

Wow so there's a lot of first time try successes then. I think I have it in my head that my 2nd is going to take ages because I'm nearly 30 now 1st was unplanned 10 years ago! But I see thats not always the case
