Just wondering if anyone conceived straight away?

I have conceived twice on 1st cycle and my current pregnancy was 2 weeks after a miscarriage, so er, no cycle at all that time.

Idobelieveinfairies · 07/11/2007 19:24

every single time-once on the pill (tummy upset)

Concieved 2nd set of twins when 'taking a chance' on the 25th day of my cycle...(28-30 day cycle)

Second month with ds1 and first month with ds2 and ds3 (due Feb). Despite all being planned came as a shock each time - particularly this time as I had convinced myself it would take a while for some reason!

Nettee · 07/11/2007 17:33

ds - first bit of risk taking
dd - first month of trying - about a week after the coil came out

currently relying on lactational amenorrhea - very dodgy I am sure - must get that coil in again quick sharp!

2y ttc first time, so expected the same next time round and got pg after doing it once .... Dp was rather suspicious when I got BFP!!

claricebeansmum · 07/11/2007 16:51

Like so many others we thought it could take years...3 weeks later I was pregnant with DS. We had been together 6 months! DD - immediately - I think DH just gave me a hard stare...

2 of my 5 conceptions were first try - they both ended in mc Another mc on 2nd cycle. ds1 was 3rd cycle, ds2 not-really-planned.

Flame · 07/11/2007 16:37

I did both times.

#1 - Came off the pill to give my body a rest from hormones etc... decided that "what the hell, the odds of falling pregnant having just come off the pill etc...." DD is now 4

DS - planned, but thought I would get a few months of trying.... Again, the very first night as far as we can tell!

I am never having unprotected sex again unless I want a baby!

HolidaysQueen · 07/11/2007 16:19

P.S. I have a friend who only has to look at her husband and she gets pregnant...

HolidaysQueen · 07/11/2007 16:17

LadySnotaLot - my DH was exactly the same! We conceived the month before we were even officially giving up contraception so rather than First Time it was technically Minus First Time and he kept strutting around telling me how virile he was...

When our poor child asks if he/she was wanted, do we have to be honest and say "well, yes you were but the real reason you exist is because we just couldn't be arsed to use contraception any more"?

I'd expected it to take months as I have had a couple of gynae issues, so wasn't at all prepared for it to happen so quickly. I'd expected that if we got lucky we'd be expecting a baby in July/August next year, but instead it's due in March!

LadySnotAlot · 07/11/2007 15:20

Yeah both times, followed by DH trotting round like a bleeding stallion and chirruping something about being the most virile man on the planet

e14mum · 07/11/2007 15:13

us too first try...

debinaustria · 07/11/2007 14:45

1st baby took 6 months to conceive, 2nd was 1st month and now I'm pregnant again and also conceived in the 1st month. I feel very luck but dh feels cheated out of months of extra sex!!

LadyOfWaffle · 07/11/2007 14:41

I did - had everything timed down to a tea, just has tubes flushed, on all the pronatal stuff etc. and it went totally by the book!

sweetkitty · 07/11/2007 14:40

DD1 - 9 months of ttc but one chemical pregnancy
DD2 - first month of ttc
DB3 - first month of ttc but mc
DB4 - 2nd month of ttc

3madboys · 07/11/2007 14:38

yep ds1 was a 'one off' when we were at uni, ds2 fell in the first month of trying, then miscarried but was preg again straightaway.

ds3 took three weeks and the 'bump' due in feb was also a 'one off'

i have to say at times i feel incredibly guilty at the ease with which i have got pregnant, esp as i have friends who have had to have IVF etc.

needahand · 07/11/2007 14:38

me first time round

took about four months the second time

yes - stupidly thought it might take about 6 months. We were not in the best financial position.

Then 2nd time round, did exactly the same . Thought 'oh it will probably take about 6 months this time' but it happened 1st time, so ended up getting married with a 7 month bump!

Dottydot · 07/11/2007 14:34

dp fell pregnant the second time, and considering we were having to time things to the hour, drive from London to Manchester to collect the sperm and we could only get 2 lots a month, it was pretty amazing!

pagwatch · 07/11/2007 14:33

herbie
ditto .
3 times we said "well lets try and then if we have a baby in the next year or so that would be great. And EVERY time I concieved straight away.
Mind you my mother had 8 children in ten years so perhaps it was me rather than "dead eye" .
caused a few probs with seconf DC when DH thought about it for a week or two and then said perhaps we should wait until our finances were a bit more organized ( and i had just been promoted) but I was already pregnant.
He RAN to get the snip while on brief paternity leave just in case..

( have never told anyone about speedy conception except my mum as two of my sisters had huge problems )

CarGirl · 07/11/2007 14:31

1st time with dc1 & 3, and sort of 1st time with dc2 & 4 - basically as soon as having deepo/pill wore off (ie lost the extra weight it makes me carry) I was pregnant. I am so fertile it's quite frightening.
