People falling pregnant first month!?

I do think there's a tendency to 'over problematise' conception. I hear about some women absolutely jumping through hoops to 'improve their chance of conceiving' when it really doesn't seem necessary.

In my case I conceived oldest literally first attempt. 2nd took 4-5 months I think as it seemed to be a while before my cycle normalised after coming off the pill that time.

Thank you lovely. I think until you actually TTC and its been months those types of sayings are so insensitive. now I've been through it I can hand on heart say that would never be uttered out of my mouth to anyone.

I just don't think people think. We are taught as soon as you have unprotected sex you will get pregnant, but not taught about infertility and the small window and chance that it can actually happen. I read something the other day and apparently its only like a 20% chance each cycle.. but how come so many people fall pregnant first try then? 🤣

Hope all goes well for you too sweets. We will get our darling little babies eventually, it will make it all the sweeter when it happens 🥰🩷 lots of love to you xx

14 months and not even a hint of a second line 🫠🙃

Hoping to be referred to the fertility clinic for further investigations soon but that will be at least a year wait.. likely more..

Have friends who conceived without trying and are constantly asking us when we'll be having a baby and another friend who has a child and pregnant again who winges about being pregnant constantly.

Slowly losing the will to live 🙃🤣

Three pregnancies here. 33, 35, 38 ish

first month, third month, first month.

I didn’t expect the last time to take one month. I actually cried from the shock 😆(Trying for second baby but third pregnancy.) I never felt ready in the 3 years of having our first to try again and thought well it’ll take ages so it’s now or never. I was mentally prepared it’d take 6-12 months cus of my age. I swore that I was perimenopausal, actually. Was convinced my hormones were all over the shop for various reasons (random short cycles, mood etc).

Can’t complain though, of course! Got used to the idea pretty fast.

My first was a surprise after having unprotected sex with my DH once aged 30, wasn't trying but it was a happy accident. Then I suffered secondary infertility and eventually got pregnant a second time via donor IVF so I've experienced both sides.

I did both times whilst every other woman in my family had issues with conception and miscarriage. We’d actually banked on it taking years not a month 🤨

I should also say, he’s very much loved and wanted. Just a bit of a surprise!

Subsequent pregnancies were also first month eye off the ball babies.

Also happened to me. First baby took almost a year. Ovulation tests, charting temperature, obsessing over what I could do to "improve". Second baby I said let's start trying a bit earlier than planned because it took so long the first time. I had my IUD out and a few days later joked to just give it a go. We did it that one time. Once. I'm 39 weeks now...

I was gobsmacked the first time I got pregnant. It was completely unplanned and while I knew, obviously, that having unprotected sex could lead to a pregnancy, I thought statistically it was highly unlikely as a ‘one off’.
I remember thinking ‘what’s all this TTC business then?!’

Yes, I fell into this trap.

Read everything online and was convinced conception would be long winded.

1st month just decided to have fun, not stress and settle in for the longhaul.

DTD lots all through the month.

Lo and behold, fell pregnant immediately.

I feel terrified and unprepared and thought I would have more time but I suppose 1 month or 6 I would be feeling the same way.

Was aiming for winter baby, ended up a mid-summer baby.

No-one needs support for conceiving fast, so if you look online I guess it'll be skewed for those who haven't been so lucky.

I fell pregnant first month with my first, it took a year with my second. You never know how it's going to go.

I conceived the first month each of the three times I TTC, all in my mid 30s. So every month I've had unprotected sex, I've gotten pregnant.

I am very very very careful now

I think it probably happens a lot, it's not something people mention in real life as it could be a bit insensitive. Likewise it takes a bit longer for plenty of couples.

First or second with both.

Decided to try when our dd was just over a year as had no idea how long it would take. 22 months between them.

I also got pregnant at 42 the first night we tried.

Happened to me twice both first month of trying and I also thought it would take months of trying to conceive.

I'm grateful and feel very fortunate that I was Lucky to have two babies so quickly when I have seen those I love and care for not be so fortunate.

Had my wedding in April, started trying in May and baby was born early March next year. I was 32 at the time.

Had 3 more pregnancies after including 2 miscarriages, but each time fell pregnant within the first month of trying. Both Hubby and I was surprised how quick it was.

I got pregnant first month first time and second month second time. Aged 32 and 34

I got pregnant first month of trying 8 times - had 6 mc though. Sometimes being too fertile is not a good thing as I was holding on to not so healthy embryos

I had heard and read a lot about how it can take a long time, fertility issues are common, not to expect it to happen immediately. So I thought we had months of trying but we conceived immediately, age 35 and it did mess up other plans a bit happening so fast. I don't mention it to anyone as it feels insensitive in case they struggled.

At 39 with my second, yep.

I used think all these stories of people getting pregnant after a one night stand where nonsense and there was no way half of them where true. Until I got pregnant after having unprotected sex Once with my dp. I was extremely shocked , I had expected it to take a lot longer.

I do think it’s more common than people think. I also think it depends on who you know how quickly you expect to get pregnant. I was expecting to conceive in the first month because women in my family tend to get pregnant very quickly (my mum conceived both me and my sister the first month of trying and her mum and sisters also got pregnant very quickly). I was disappointed and a bit surprised when I didn’t conceive the first month. I did conceive the second month though so I’m very lucky and I’m not complaining at all.

I was pregnant in the first month of trying with my first 3. Number 3 must have been conceived about a week after I came off the pill. Complete shock! Midwife said some couples are both super fertile.
