Must have happened almost straight away

We started trying for a baby after getting married. I was pregnant two months afterwards.
Then a few years later when we decided for a second baby I was pregnant even quicker.
Sometimes it does happen quick. What's your point?

LardLizard · 18/10/2018 11:25

lol at the comments of so what !! And why do you care so much ?

Who said I care so much, I’m pleased for them because I’m sure if she hadn’t if got pregnant quickly they would have been under enormous pressure

And simply suprised as a lot of people I know in RL haven’t been so lucky.

What a strange thread. Beyond wealthy woman in late 30s with infinite time to devote to her health and wellbeing, with access to unlimited healthcare, including private fertility specialists, gets pregnant soon after wedding. Not worth involving Sherlock.

Interested in this thread?

Who said I care so much

Most people who come online to a forum to make a point about something so trivial and quite frankly odd usually do so because they care somewhat about the subject...

Good for her, she's 37 so the sooner the better if having a family is part of the plan.

WickedGoodDoge · 18/10/2018 11:28

I was 33 when I got pregnant with DS on my first cycle. I was 36 with DD and it happened on my second cycle. It happens.

shearwater · 18/10/2018 11:28

I was also pregnant a few months after we got married. It's hardly unusual.

shearwater · 18/10/2018 11:29

And she is nearly 10 years older than I was. They don't want to hang around too much, obviously.

QuiVivraVerra · 18/10/2018 11:31

I'm not even married yet and I'm pregnant 😆 I really don't hang around!!

TheFreaksShallInheritTheEarth · 18/10/2018 11:32

One might even come to the shocking conclusion that she was already pregnant at her wedding, and their wedding night was not the first time they'd ever had sex. Shock

Really, so what?

OctoberBirthday1110 · 18/10/2018 11:33

I'm more amazed that she's 37.
I don't know why but I assumed late 20's or 30 at the most.
I'm hopeless with peoples ages!
I thought another lady was in her late 20's and she's mid 40's!!!
Thankfully I've never assumed anyone to be OLDER than they are (yet!).

shearwater · 18/10/2018 11:33

I thought she was pregnant at their engagement, but the dates don't work out.

QuiVivraVerra · 18/10/2018 11:34

@OctoberBirthday1110 if I look that good at 37 🙏🏽

neveradullmoment99 · 18/10/2018 11:36

Yeh she was probably up the duff before she got married so no choice really.

NorthEndGal · 18/10/2018 11:37

I'm not saying you care a lot, but you did start a whole thread on it, when there has already been quite a few in the same vein

golondrina · 18/10/2018 11:41

It's fairly normal, no? If she's about 3 months pg and been married 5 months, she got pg on about the second month of ttc. I don't think that's particularly unusual.
Even for her age, apparently the whole fertility goes off a cliff after 35 is a misreading of statistics anyway.
But it's a bit tasteless the way people keeping talking about all the details, there was a DM article which was basically trying to work out when she conceived, waaaaay TMI.
They got married, they had sex, she's pg, not a surprise really given they said they wanted a family sooner rather than later.

IsTheRainEverComingBack · 18/10/2018 11:44

@Angelil I’ve heard this too, where did you read it? I’d like to look at some of the evidence

60sname · 18/10/2018 11:45

People don't tend to go on about how quickly they conceived because a) it might not be remarkable to them/there's not much to say about it or b) they are trying to be sensitive to those who find it more difficult

speakout · 18/10/2018 11:47

I got pregnant at the age of 38 in the first month we started trying.

It happens.

bubbles092 · 18/10/2018 11:48

Fed up of hearing about her already. She's just another person like the rest of us on this planet.

MrsVietor · 18/10/2018 11:49

I got pregnant very first try. 

Why is this of interest to anyone?

Missingstreetlife · 18/10/2018 11:52

It only takes a few minutes

CatkinToadflax · 18/10/2018 11:55

My friend's sister married at 40 and became pregnant almost straight away. She then had DS2 almost exactly two years later. Presumably as she knew she was getting a bit older they wanted to try for a baby very quickly. Almost certainly the same for Harry and Meghan....and even if she was pregnant before the wedding, why would that matter? Yes he's Royal and she's married a Royal, but it's 2018.... they, and Wills and Kate, and Eugenie and Whatsitbollocks, and probably all of Queen's other grandchildren have or will lived with their partner before marriage, showing change from a few decades ago....

beefchowmein · 18/10/2018 11:57

They were married 5 months ago. She is likely around 12 weeks so will have got pregnant around 2 months after their wedding day, not thAt unusual

I do find it odd that there aren't more up-to-Date studies 're age and fertility

I'm having a jacket potato for tea. Should I have tuna or cheese?
