First go each time, at 31 and 34 respectively. Both took us by surprise!

HeyGirlHeyBoy · 13/07/2021 14:12

First cycle x3
Same for my sisters.

OrangeBiscuits · 13/07/2021 14:06

1st pregnancy - 1st month
2nd pregnancy - 1st month (but ended in mmc at 12 weeks)
3rd pregnancy - 4th month (currently 7wks and super anxious)

Rummikub · 13/07/2021 13:55

2 months first time
Second time had to be investigated for secondary infertility as it was over a year.

@Colinthedog

Second time took about 3 months
Same
NatMoz · 13/07/2021 13:12

First baby - 7 months (ended in miscarriage)
Next baby 1 month after miscarriage.

Pretty much first time with all four of mine. I was also breastfeeding for pretty much the entire ten years. I have been very lucky on that score.

altrajuce93 · 13/07/2021 12:43

DD - 12th month
Currently ttc #2 going into the 25th month🙄

IggyAce · 13/07/2021 07:08

Dc2 was 6 months.

MamaSJ15 · 13/07/2021 07:06

Baby 1 - 3 cycles
Trying for baby 2 now, currently in cycle 3. Hoping it's a lucky one!

GingerFox2021 · 12/07/2021 22:45

1st one - from the 1st try (1 time sex).
Trying for number 2 since September 2020 and still nothing.

Mattieandmummy · 12/07/2021 19:30

First baby - first try, ended in miscarriage
Second baby - first try

Bobojangles · 11/07/2021 15:15

1st 2 months ending in early miscarriage
2nd (1st baby) straight after miscarriage
3rd - 8 months
4th - 1 go! A shock after how long baby 2 took

cptartapp · 11/07/2021 15:13

Second month DC1
First month DC2

Useruseruserusee · 11/07/2021 15:13

Over a year for DS1, was just starting fertility investigations.

DS2 was conceived on the one night we didn’t use protection in years.

No link at all in my case.

RickiTarr · 11/07/2021 15:12

First try each time for the first two, then in my second marriage, a year of intervention for no 3.

FawnFrenchieMum · 11/07/2021 15:12

1st month for all four of my pregnancies (two sadly ended in miscarriage).

ChikiTIKI · 11/07/2021 15:12

1st- first month
2nd-13th month (although did have a 9 week miscarriage within that year, although the baby didn't develop past about 5 weeks)
3rd- first or second month (think we started too late in first month for it to count), 11 weeks now still in shock!!

Elune · 11/07/2021 15:11

We took 6 months of meticulous timing with DD1. Pregnant with number two after a random underwhelming shag when we both had a cold but felt we ought to Grin

Lnix · 11/07/2021 15:11

DC1 - first month

DC2 - 10 months - I was shocked it took so long but still within the normal range apparently.

WalkingMeAway · 11/07/2021 15:11

H no 1 / Baby 1 - 1yr

H no 2 / Baby 2 - 1st time Baby 3 - 1st time

tsmainsqueeze · 11/07/2021 15:09

1st - 2nd month
2nd - 1st month

Crazycatlady83 · 11/07/2021 15:08

DS1 - first month (aged 32)
DS2 - third month (aged 37)

Rapskallion · 11/07/2021 15:07

DC1 - first month
Conceived again on first month of trying but had a miscarriage
DC2 - second month of trying

BillyShears · 11/07/2021 15:04

9m for DC1, the 1m for DC2. Was very shocked as I assumed it would take a similar amount of time. DC1 was only 17m old, we had a second baby at the point that I had expected to just be getting pregnant 😂 worked out well though. Only 2y2m between my two and they’re very close.
