Just wondering if anyone conceived straight away?

3 times - believe me I know how lucky we have been - down side of this, so to speak, is that I never ever ever throw caution to the wind - am convinced we would never get away with it

Both conceived on first 'attempt'. DP calls himself 'One-shot' and likes to brag about his super-sperm! Sad, I know.

I believed the myth that 2nd babies take longer to conceive and decided to start trying when DS1 was only 6 months old, thinking it might take a while. Twas a bit of a shock but a lovely one!

Notquitegrownup · 07/11/2007 12:46

Me too with ds1. DS2 did take a lot longer - c. 8 months.

TheQueenOfQuotes · 07/11/2007 12:42

Yes - 3 times - and the second 2 weren't planned

ruddynorah · 07/11/2007 12:38

me. on our wedding night. dd born 9 months later. hopefully will be the same for next one too, though lots of people seem to find the second harder to conceive.

Ilovenutella · 07/11/2007 12:36

Yes - absolute shock as planned to start trying in earnest in Jan 07 - started 'freestyling' in Nov thinking it would take a few months. I and DH worked away from home a lot in nov... when i did pregnancy test in Dec his comment was 'You can't be, we need to have sex first' (we hadn't had a fruity month iykwim!) Anyway - have gorgeous DD of 2 mths now........

You're under avest.

bethoo · 07/11/2007 11:35

i was with my dp only a shortwhile and we used protection all thetime, then one night i said not to bother and low and behold it happened! needless to say i lost the baby but was able to conceive again shortly afterwards and now i have a wonderful 8 month old who likes to pull my hair and gouge out my eyes!

RomanCandles · 07/11/2007 11:34

Twice.

weeonion · 07/11/2007 11:33

same here- we had planned on it taking up to a year. hmmmm - 3 weeks later we were pregnant.

tryingtoleave · 07/11/2007 11:33

I did - it was a bit of a surprise - I expected it to take months.
