I did first time as used an ovulation kit.

BakuMum · 26/11/2010 10:13

Yes, twice. Well, second try the fist time and first try the second. I was using a Boots Persona for contraceptive purposes, so I knew when I ovulated exactly and was able to time it well. Not sure how well it would work now I am over 40!

DS1 9 months
DS2 6 months
DS3- gave birth 41 weeks to the day I had my coil removed (was overdue), DH was gutted, but at least he had a very good month!

mrsshackleton · 26/11/2010 10:48

twice again
And was 35 and 37

festivefriedawhingesagain · 26/11/2010 10:52

Yes, twice. First cycle of the pill both times too. Don't know why I was so surprised the second time but I was.

festivefriedawhingesagain · 26/11/2010 10:53

First cycle off the pill I mean

HappyAsASandboy · 26/11/2010 10:53

I did, and I had twins Grin

Like you, I thought it'd probably take a while, so was shocked when it happened straight away. Even more shocked to discover twins!

daisy18 · 26/11/2010 14:36

yes I did with my first, but it's been 10 months of trying with 2nd and still no joy :(
Anyone else had similar problem?

wheretofromhere · 26/11/2010 14:40

Yep. On dd1. We decided to start trying. Got pregnant the first time we didn't use contraception. (I'm sure as DH was away for a few weeks after so had to be that first try!)

DD2 took 2 months and I was starting to get a bit worried.

Ariesgirl · 26/11/2010 16:10

No. 11 months and still trying!

Bumpsadaisie · 26/11/2010 16:54

I did, yep.

megonthemoon · 26/11/2010 17:00

Yes, three times. 3rd was month after mc and I really didn't expect that so quickly!

whensitgunnahappen · 26/11/2010 17:14

Ok. Really stupid question and you seem a nice bunch so will ask here?!? How do you know your ovulating? I'm on the pill back to back(so don't have breaks) will I have to have a period then figure it out?!? X

FrameyMcFrame · 26/11/2010 17:16

me too, twice and once with an IUD in.

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 26/11/2010 17:17

Twice. Once without trying and when trying.

bounty007 · 26/11/2010 19:31

Twice too...when we did "it" I knew I would get pregnant - my body was buzzing and we had been using the standard days method of contraceptive Hmm and this was one of the forbidden days... Grin

LadyOfTheFlowers · 26/11/2010 19:33

Indeed, the very first time I did but went on to miscarry.

But...

Then got preg 2 more times first try then 2 more times without even trying Blush for good measure.

Got 4 lovely kids now! :)

IrnBruTheNoo · 17/03/2013 14:49

Fell pregnant first try with DC1, but it took six tries for DC2.

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 17/03/2013 21:14

Wow - zombie thread!

3CuteButtons · 17/03/2013 21:15

Yes 5 times!
DD1, DD2, MC1, MC2 & DD3 was born 5 weeks ago.

panicking a bit today as have felt sick and lost appetite for past week and DH asked if I could be pg again? We have been careful so unlikely but you never know...

littlepinkfizz · 17/03/2013 21:23

I wish....

badguider · 17/03/2013 21:25

yes, i did. or maybe you'd call it second time, as i have a predictable cycle and ovultation pain, we first had sex without contraception two days after my period so i rightly assumed no chance, then again the weekend i ovulated which is when i conceived.
i only started getting ovulation pain after coming off the pill and it's quite irritating but clearly has its uses.

twinklestar2 · 17/03/2013 22:16

Oh sod off you lot, 20 months of trying here

Grin
IrnBruTheNoo · 18/03/2013 09:04

DH calls himself the one shot wonder. Clearly it doesn't work all the time!Wink

farmersdaughter · 18/03/2013 17:36

DD was a first try...Wine

Still waiting for DC2!
