I was pregnant as soon a I started TTC first time round...unbelievably lucky I know! I am just starting TTC #2 and already (irrationally!) concerned that it will somehow take ages...and M trying to moderate my expectations.

So...just wondering, how long did it take for you to conceive your first and second child?

5 years and still trying. (ive had loads of mcs though)

oflip · 10/01/2012 18:19

3 years for ds, again mcs before we got him....

tanfastic · 10/01/2012 18:20

First month for ds, still trying for %232, in cycle 4 and am due in tomorrow. Don't think I'm pregnant though.

JustHecate · 10/01/2012 18:21

Well, we weren't trying, we just weren't taking preventative action Grin

8 months for number 1 and 6 months after number 1 was born, number 2 was conceived.

I had to work that out on a bit of paper Grin

tanfastic · 10/01/2012 18:21

That was meant to say no2.

tanfastic · 10/01/2012 18:21

And due on, not in Grin

AmandinePoulain · 10/01/2012 18:21

Dd - first month Grin
MC - 8 months
Current pregnancy (6 weeks) - 10 months

I was very naive after it was so easy the first time. You might get lucky though!

NoMoreMarbles · 10/01/2012 23:17

DD- 10 months
TTC #2- ongoing 4 years and 4 months (52 months) but i have had 6 MCs in that time.

fingers crossed you will get lucky quicklySmile

cece · 10/01/2012 23:24

DD - 7 months
DS1 - 2 months
2 pg that I mc that were both accidents whilst using withdrawal method Blush
DS2 - 8 months

feelingratheroverwhelmed · 10/01/2012 23:35

2 months for each. Rather more quickly than we expected! Smile

lindsell · 10/01/2012 23:37

First month for Ds, and first month again for dc2 due in may - v lucky! I'd just come off the pill both times so I think it may have been the hormone rush!

jojomom · 10/01/2012 23:39

First attempt with DC1 (on honeymoon) then 7 months with DC2 (felt longer). I was 36 and then 39.

simpson · 10/01/2012 23:41

forgot one pill with DS (an accident)

with DD we TTC for 9mths before me getting pg.

I was 33 then 35

Sausagesarenottheonlyfruit · 10/01/2012 23:41

1 attempt Blush

ZhenThereWereTwo · 10/01/2012 23:42

2 months

ConstantlyFrazzled · 10/01/2012 23:49

Dd1 was a happy accident.
Ds1 conceived after 1 month (we had sex every day in fertile period - I was slighty obsessed)
Dd2 also a happy accident Grin

MoaningMinnieWhingesAgain · 10/01/2012 23:53

First month off pill with DD. Then first month off pill second time as well. Still don't know why I was so surprised Blush but I thought it would take ages.

tanfastic · 11/01/2012 12:43

On cycle five now, came on this morning. Bugger!

rogersmellyonthetelly · 11/01/2012 20:26

One shag. I kid you not. First child took 3 years so work that one out. We were thinking about starting trying, only managed to have sex once in the right time frame, 10 days later I was puking in the toilet watching the plus line appear on a test.

mylittlemonkey · 11/01/2012 20:34

3 months with DS, first time with 2nd pg but unfortunately ended in mc and then 3rd cycle after mc with this pg (just found out last week).

Worth getting some ovulation sticks if you are quite keen to get pg straight away. Amazon do them very reasonably.

Good luck!

PinkCustard · 11/01/2012 20:46

1 month for DS.
2 years and counting for DC2 - 1 m/c during that time and getting very impatient now...

Goldrill · 11/01/2012 20:57

First month for DD. One previous very unplanned pregnancy (which ended in MC) despite being on pill and sex an annual event.

Now on 5th cycle for DC2 - two chemical pregnancies so far and sincerely hoping to either be "properly" pregnant or have AF by this saturday.

I got really fed up about how long it was taking this time as I had really got into the mindset that I tend to get pregnant if DP looks at me with a glint in his eye - but I think I may have been being a teeny bit unreasonable!
