Does anyone just have sex and get preggers?

[Sparrowlegs248]

As in,.cease contraception and continue to have their usual amount of sex? And then get preggers? We manage 1 - 3 times a week but more usually 1 - 2. Just wondering if its likely to happen for me if we carry on in this way or do i need to up the ante??

I did... I had my sterilisation reversed and one month later I was pregnant and we weren't supposed to be trying... I would continue as you are without added pressure as it takes away the enjoyment.

Yeah, we did, got pregnant on the second month.

Good luck btw!

Yep, we were lucky I think! With second child there was no way we would have been having sex 3 times a day anyway. We upped frequency to every other day-ish in the week I was probably ovulating and got pregnant first month.

We had more sex than usual. But we usually only have sex about once a week so more was sensible.

We did... 4 times

I did, twice, much to everyone's surprise, particularly mine. Both DC born within 10 months of having a chat along the lines of " Should we have a(nother) baby....."

Yip, 4 times most it's taken has been 4 months.

Yep, second cycle after I stopped taking the pill. Good luck!

Yes, second month off the pill.

I think I once read that coming off the pill you actually have a short spurt of increased fertility as your body readjusts.

Also since I came off the pill I have become a bit sex mad. I think the pill may have impacted my sex drive because now I can't get enough. nature is one smart cookie.

And good luck!

On both occasions that we wanted a baby we have got pregnant within a couple of months which is good because I wanted my second child born at a particular time of the year .

I had sex once and got pregnant. Now using copper coil and cycle tracking as I appear to be a little fertile

Well thats good to know! Thanks for all your good wishes. I think i will try for 3 times a week in the relevant week and see how we get on! Only just started and not sure if i will have a regular cycle (came off depo dec 2012 - first period this month)

I am 35 so while i don't want to obsess about it, i do want to crack on!!

Yup 1st time was pg took 1.5months 2nd time took one unprotected go (drink related) and BANG pregnant!!

Good luck

I had sex once this month and got my BFP last week. I knew when I was ovulating so DTD and got lucky. Good luck.

Yup - both times.

DH says "We wanted a baby, so we had one."

It does happen.

Yup - both times. Second time was the third cycle, but I think that was the first cycle I ovulated on post birth.

Good luck.

Yes. First baby was unplanned, but was a lovely surprise! We planned the second, and I became pregnant the first month we tried. I was actually very surprised because both my mother and grandmother had lots of problems conceiving, and only had one child each. My mother tried for a baby for about 5 years, and then had me. My grandmother tried for eight years, and had my mother, and then sadly had quite a few miscarriages.

Yep got a BFP tonight, first month off the pill and only did it about four times and not on 'most fertile' days either. So shocked!!

Yes, 2nd cycle with first pregnancy, 1st with this one.

Yes. The one and only time we didn't use contraception.

Yep all five times I got pregnant on the first month, well actually no five was a bit of an accident, we were kind of thinking about having another and weren't as careful as we should have been.

Oh and number one was a one off unprotected sex as we were at uni. We seem to be very fertile!

Nope, just to even things out.

50 plus cycles of trying and squat. I've been lucky, in that I have 2 beautiful sons, thanks to 2 cycles of IVF, but trying the good old fashioned way got us nowhere. Unexplained infertility, so nothing really to pin it on. Bad luck? Crappy timing? Bad sex? Too much pressure? Crappy sperm? Who knows. I was 29 when we started, and 33 when I had DS1. Bloody difficult.

Hope you have better luck, obviously!

I used to. Then I had a hysterectomy. Then dd died. It's shit.
