So baby #1 was unplanned , I was on the pill!
Baby #2 was planned, fell pregnant first month trying !
Baby #3 , we haven't started trying yet.... What are the chances it'll be quick again ? Has anyone else fallen pregnant quickly more than once ? I feel like it's going to take forever this time because we were so lucky before

2 first try, 1 unplanned

piggie88 · 01/08/2018 22:02

We’ve been very lucky too, 34 weeks pregnant with our second and both conceived straight away.

froggers1 · 01/08/2018 22:02

Three times for me, two unplanned..and I know the nights!

OrangeCarpet · 01/08/2018 22:10

1st try both times.

marmaladecats · 01/08/2018 22:11

First month of trying for both of mine and only had sex once in the window (weren't taking it v seriously as early days, or so we thought!). V lucky.

ZenNudist · 01/08/2018 22:12

First - second month
Second - first month

I remember that first period when starting to try for my first and I thought it's going to be really disappointing having periods you don't want every month then it never happened again that was it second month pregnant and DS 2 was even quicker!

HollyHocks13 · 01/08/2018 22:13

All 3 of mine happened first time. I think I've only had unprotected sex 3 times and have 3 kids... i know I am very lucky.

NoNeedToArgue · 01/08/2018 22:18

Nope.

#1 first try

#2 took two years and a mc.

It's impossible to know how easily you will fall pregnant. I was just discussing today with a friend how many cases of secondary infertility we are aware of amongst two different circles of friends.

Mummymummums · 01/08/2018 22:32

Yes Baby No 1 conceived first month we tried - I was 39.
Baby No 2 conceived first month we tried (baby no 1 was six months old) - I was 40.
I know we were lucky as given my age it could have been much longer.

SasBel · 01/08/2018 22:35

Yup, all 3 first month of trying. Good luck!

TaggieRR · 01/08/2018 22:36

Conceived both dc within first month of trying. I was 28 and 30.

Theworldisfullofgs · 01/08/2018 22:37

Both dc conceived first try.

dragonmummy17 · 01/08/2018 22:42

Not for us. DS is a honeymoon baby conceived first month. 5 cycles in to ttc DC2

SecretWitch · 01/08/2018 22:50

First one planned to the minute. Next two unplanned but very much wanted. I was 42 when I gave birth to third child.

HabbyHadno · 01/08/2018 23:00

First one the month after I came off the pill, so we'd only been trying for two weeks really.
Second one was an accident (conceived the day before I thought my period was due and we'd only DTD once in three months).

8DaysAWeek · 01/08/2018 23:03

First was conceived the first day we decided to try for a baby.

Onto cycle 5 for the second so not as lucky this time round.

SamanthaH92 · 01/08/2018 23:03

First baby took 1 night, unfortunetly miscarriage and was unplanned. Second baby took 3 months to concieve after that but i had been on the pill. Another misscarriage after one night and the morning after pill 6 hours later (condom broke) fourth baby first month of trying but i think thats because i had checked ovulation and was taking folic acid and vit d tablets for a month prior to get my self ready as recommended by GP. Good luck xx

fieldmuse · 01/08/2018 23:05

Dc1 - first month trying
Dc2 - over a year trying, fertility testing, natural conception unlikely so had ivf

xyzandabc · 01/08/2018 23:06

3 times here. Conceived immediately all 3 times.
Sheer fluke, I've never tracked periods let alone 'fertile times' etc!

NotSoThinLizzy · 01/08/2018 23:18

I was told after coming off my birth control that it would take about a year but it was in 1 month 😂

Twodogsandahooch · 01/08/2018 23:34

DD1 first month
DD2 fell pregnant quickly (within 1-2 months) but had 3 early miscarriages so took over a year

ThriftyMcThrifty · 02/08/2018 06:27

Oooh I’m in the same boat op. My first was unplanned when I was 29. My second we had sex once without a condom on honeymoon when I was 34. Now I’m 37, and in the first month trying. Fingers crossed!

MaverickSnoopy · 02/08/2018 06:46

1st - planned and conceived in month 1
2nd - drunk night no protection used for all of 10 seconds before condom was used and fell pregnant anyway

3rd - contraception failure

So in our case yes we found it easy. Many many people don't. After this birth we're definitely done so will be trippling up on contraception as we are under no illusions.

lovelyjubilly · 02/08/2018 06:51

All three of mine were conceived first try.

DrDreReturns · 02/08/2018 06:55

I have two both of whom were conceived in the first month of trying.
