How long did it take you to conceive each of your children?

[HilariousInHindsight]

As in for example 6 months dc1 then ttc for 2 months for dc2 and 4 months for dc3.

Also include not actively ttc.

Just curious .

Took us ages to conceive dd but maybe no2 won't take so long?

17 years. One DC.

Great thread. I am on cycle 7 of trying to conceive #1 and it's interesting to see how long it has taken others.

18 months to conceive DS with an MC after 6 months

2 months for dc1, 10 months for dc2 with a miscarriage between the two.

Over 5 years.

We've been very lucky. Dc1 first month and am currently pg with dc2 (but only 6w so it may not be all rosy) again it only took the first month. Like someone said before I try not to go on about it as realise how lucky we are compared to others. Including good friends of ours which is hard to see.

1st month with DS
9 months for this one, 7+2 at the present but we had a 7 month gap in trying between months 4 and 5 whole DH went on deployment

4 months and 8 months respectively, although I was bfing for 4 of the 8 months we were trying for a second baby.

Dc1 wasn't tried for.
Dc2 first cycle
Then I had mc when dc2 was 2. We weren't trying, well I was.
7yrs later I'm on cycle2 ttc dc3. I'm 12yrs older than I was when last conceived and carried a baby. I'm nervous about how long it may take if it happens.

DD conceived in the first month.
Hoping DC2 happens sometime soon, we've been trying for 12 months....so strange that there seems to be no rhyme nor reason to this ttc-ing!

DD 1 month (I was 28)
DS 2 years (I was 33).

DC#1: 18 months ttc, then IVF (ICSI) - lucky on 1st round
DC#2: er.... a surprise (after 3 months of not using contraception as we thought it didn't matter!)

DC1 - 4 cycles
Gap of 3 years not TTC then
DC2 and DC3 (twins) - 1st cycle aged 41. This followed 2 months of not TTC but tracking my cycles, and when I didn't ovulate at all so I was gobsmacked to fall pregnant.
Very lucky, especially given my age and erratic ovulation.

First - about 1 year.

2nd - first cycle off the pill.

DC1 - 12 months
DC2 - 1 m

DC1 - 1st month of trying, only had sex on e that cycle, but I was young then!

Second pregnancy (miscarriage) - 3 mths

DC2 - 3 months

Dc1 was an accident. We weren't trying and had only dtd on one occasion that month.

Dc2 conceived in the first month of trying.

1st age 30 1st attempt. 2nd age 34 1st attempt. Very lucky both times.

DS - 1st cycle after coming off the pill I had been taking for 10 years, was quite a shock

DD - 5 loooooong years, 9 cycles of clomid, 3 of IUI, 1 mmc, 1 complete mc. We actually ended up spitting up for a while then we got back together, agreed to stop trying and along she came!

Got pregnant by accident with ds who is now 5. When he was 8 months old we decided we'd like another one quite close together, and we managed to conceive dd that month. So v lucky. We were relatively young- we were both 25 when we had our first baby and 27 for our second.

Dc1 - two years then ivf
Dc2 - one month

Sadly the second baby = faster conception isn't true for us.

Dc 1: first month.

Dc 2: ttc 18 months and counting. Failed cycles of ivf. Male factor infertility. Basically no hope of having another baby.

DD1 18 months
DD2 3 months

18 months for DD. One single, solitary shag for DS, due in a few weeks.
