DC1 - 17 months after stopping pill
DC2 - First atttempt. No pill taken between dc.

I am not ttc DC3 with a new partner, no pill since before DC1 and an 8 year gap from DC2. I am now older (36 now so know I'm classed as 'older'!)

Just interested to hear other peoples stories :)

Afraid I've got nothing useful to add but following with interest.

Dc1 cycle #1

Currently on cycle #3 ttc dc2. Will have at least a 9 year age gap. Hoping it's not going to take too long to conceive, especially given I nearly a decade older than first time around!

There’s 9 years between dc 1&2 and it took 5 or 6 cycles to conceive I was 29.

DC2 & 3 there is a 17month gap and we weren’t trying.

Been ttc dc4 now since July, am on cycle 8 and I’m 38. There would be at least a 7 year gap between 3 & 4.

Took one month to conceive dc3 dd1 is 8 took 1 month and dd2 is almost 6 and took 9 months to conceive . I thought it would take much longer this time given that I am 6 years older but no. Still in shock

We have an 8 year gap. Dd is 7 in 2 weeks and ds is 15 in 4 weeks.

Took us around 2/3 months I think.
Was very surprised as took ages with first.

I was classed as an older mum too at 33!
