I'm just interested, really. We have a son who will be two in December and we are trying for another. We've been trying for 3 months so far. I thought I might have been pregnant last month but I was wrong, was a bit upset but I know that these things can take time and is different for everyone. It took us 5 months to get pregnant with our son. Hopefully we'll have some good news soon! I'd love for them to have a 2 and a half to 3 year age gap.
If you could share your experiences is be grateful!

DD 4 years
DS 1 month

Some of you are so lucky! Have PCOS and so think the first pregnancy must have sorted out my hormones or something.

My first two were straight away, my third took 7 or 8 months of no contraception although we weren’t actively trying just not preventing it so I didn’t track my cycle etc.

DC1, 2 years of trying and fertility drugs

DC2, complete surprise, not even trying, 13 months after DC1 was born

Came off depo, didn't try to prevent pregnancy and didn't get pregnant until we were ready three years later. First pregnancy miscarried after first try, DC1, first cycle six months after miscarriage, DC2 unexpectedly 10 months after DC1 was born. Only had sex once for both babies. 32 and 34 when they were born.

Miscarriage at 33 fell pregnant with first dc 6 weeks after erpc 34 when born.

Dc2, 12 weeks after dc1 was born, first time. Was 35..
Dc3, 11months after dc was born, again first try. Was 36.

Incredibly lucky to have conceived first try each time.
