Anyone gotten pregnant 1st month trying? Or in under 3

Asking for some reassurance lately, on my TWW and me and I feel like I see a lot of people saying they struggled while TTC or took a while

When I aired these concerns to a friend she mentioned that some people speak out about it to support others going through that etc, you very rarely hear of the stories where someone got pregnant quickly (which she then told me she got pregnancy first try which I didn’t know)

So my question is who here has gotten pregnant either first try/month or in under 3 months? Which I’d say is relatively quick

Yep, first time, twice. I was mid 30s

S00LA · 15/10/2020 22:33

I got pregnant first or second month of trying all three times. Aged late 30s / early 40s.

First time of trying with DC1. I'd come off the pill and we were using condoms until I had a period. But one night after a few drinks we didn't and got pregnant. Took 15 months of trying for DC2 though.

Started trying for a baby in January, was born in December.

BikeRunSki · 15/10/2020 22:34

First month for both babies, despite being ancient (37, 40).

Shinygoldbauble · 15/10/2020 22:34

I did in first month of trying for dc1 and second month for dc2, mid-thirties at the time.

LunaNorth · 15/10/2020 22:35

First time both times here - I was in my early twenties.

By the time I tried for a third I was in my mid-late thirties and it never happened.

ellentree · 15/10/2020 22:36

I got pregnant with both of mine second month trying - I realise how lucky I am.

Dinosauratemydaffodils · 15/10/2020 22:36

Me. Aged 36 (2 months off 37). I only agreed to try for six months because I thought it wouldn't happen. It took one lot of unprotected sex the first month we tried to produce dc1. Dc2 was only slightly harder at 40.

I don't tell people unless they ask directly (a few people have).

Findahouse21 · 15/10/2020 22:36

First baby we conceived the second month of trying, second baby was the first month. Trying consisted of unprotected sex around ovulation, but never used sticks to check actual date, just went from last period date.

CurlyNo2 · 15/10/2020 22:36

I conceived my son on my 3rd cycle aged 32

OhTheRoses · 15/10/2020 22:37

OP I can put my hand on my heart and say I have never had unprotected sex without getting pregnant. I also need both hands to count the miscarriages; three pgs reached the 3rd trimester; two the 2nd. I lost count of the 1st trimester ones.

Dreamscomingtrue · 15/10/2020 22:39

Pregnant first month of trying for first 2 sons. Tried for a girl for a year (avoiding most fertile days) and ended up with boy number 3!

JessicaPeach · 15/10/2020 22:40

Yes I have both times. This time I'm 39 and got pregnant with twins on the first go. I never tell anyone either really, very aware that it's not that easy for everyone.

SemperIdem · 15/10/2020 22:43

Had my child taken out at the beginning of September 2014, positive pregnancy test October 11th 2014. Baby born June 2015.

I was very taken aback it happened so quickly because nobody really mentions it happening.

SemperIdem · 15/10/2020 22:43

*COIL had my COIL taken out!

Kljnmw3459 · 15/10/2020 22:43

I did for all my dc, pretty much from first try.

Shinygoldbauble · 15/10/2020 22:44

I feel really lucky. My 2 younger sisters both had trouble conceiving and went on to have successful IVF.
I don't tend to mention it to anyone. I know a lot of people who have had fertility is issues. We were very lucky.

AntiHop · 15/10/2020 22:46

Yep with dd. I was 36 and overweight. Got pregnant on the second month.

DramaAlpaca · 15/10/2020 22:46

First month of trying with DC2, fourth month with DC3. I was surprised and relieved as it took 11 months to conceive DC1.

Snufkins · 15/10/2020 22:46

First month for me and I think it was on a day before we officially tried!

Arewethereyet21 · 15/10/2020 22:46

2nd cycle with number 1 and 1st with number 2. I planned to have summer babies and managed both times but don’t mention this given how much difficulty some people have in conceiving.

Pinkfluffyunicornsdancing · 15/10/2020 22:47

Yes we did first month. Well not hammer and tongues trying so we saw it as not preventing, rather than "trying".
I do know it's not the norm amongst my friends tho.

Atalune · 15/10/2020 22:48

Me!

First month with DS, I was 31
Second month with DD, I was 33

Jojobythesea · 15/10/2020 22:52

I did. I kind of thought it would be nice for babies to have summer/autumn (mine and DH are both in Jan 🙄) birthdays so sort of planned around that thinking it would take a good few months. First was the first month and second the same. March and June birthdays. Amazing and very thankful but appreciate we were very lucky too.
