Pretty much immediately each time. Very lucky, I know.

Candlecandlesss · 11/07/2021 14:42

First time both times too.

Carrott21 · 11/07/2021 14:44

Same.

Colinthedog · 11/07/2021 14:48

Second time took about 3 months

AtomHeartMotherOfGod · 11/07/2021 14:51

Two cycles for the second time.

DramaAlpaca · 11/07/2021 14:53

It was first try with my second DC and four months with my third.

But it had taken 11 months to conceive DC1. Conceiving so quickly with DC2 was a bit of a shock!

It took us 10 months to conceive DD1 @DramaAlpaca. Currently considering TTC2 - we’re not quite ready yet but if it takes another 10 months I want to get going - but this is my big fear Grin!!

@Dollywilde I couldn't believe it, especially as I was still breastfeeding. There's only a 16 month gap between them. Best of luck to you!

StepladderToHeaven · 11/07/2021 15:02

DC1 was conceived in the third month of trying and DC2 and DC3 in the first month.

Cannes12 · 11/07/2021 15:03

First try each time (3dc).

HirplesWithHaggis · 11/07/2021 15:04

I conceived ds1 as soon as I came off the Pill, ds2 was the third month.

LFQuery · 11/07/2021 15:04

18 months DC1. First time DC2.

BillyShears · 11/07/2021 15:04

9m for DC1, the 1m for DC2. Was very shocked as I assumed it would take a similar amount of time. DC1 was only 17m old, we had a second baby at the point that I had expected to just be getting pregnant 😂 worked out well though. Only 2y2m between my two and they’re very close.

Rapskallion · 11/07/2021 15:07

DC1 - first month
Conceived again on first month of trying but had a miscarriage
DC2 - second month of trying

Crazycatlady83 · 11/07/2021 15:08

DS1 - first month (aged 32)
DS2 - third month (aged 37)

tsmainsqueeze · 11/07/2021 15:09

1st - 2nd month
2nd - 1st month

WalkingMeAway · 11/07/2021 15:11

H no 1 / Baby 1 - 1yr

H no 2 / Baby 2 - 1st time Baby 3 - 1st time

Lnix · 11/07/2021 15:11

DC1 - first month

DC2 - 10 months - I was shocked it took so long but still within the normal range apparently.

Elune · 11/07/2021 15:11

We took 6 months of meticulous timing with DD1. Pregnant with number two after a random underwhelming shag when we both had a cold but felt we ought to Grin

ChikiTIKI · 11/07/2021 15:12

1st- first month
2nd-13th month (although did have a 9 week miscarriage within that year, although the baby didn't develop past about 5 weeks)
3rd- first or second month (think we started too late in first month for it to count), 11 weeks now still in shock!!

FawnFrenchieMum · 11/07/2021 15:12

1st month for all four of my pregnancies (two sadly ended in miscarriage).

RickiTarr · 11/07/2021 15:12

First try each time for the first two, then in my second marriage, a year of intervention for no 3.

Useruseruserusee · 11/07/2021 15:13

Over a year for DS1, was just starting fertility investigations.

DS2 was conceived on the one night we didn’t use protection in years.

No link at all in my case.

cptartapp · 11/07/2021 15:13

Second month DC1
First month DC2

Bobojangles · 11/07/2021 15:15

1st 2 months ending in early miscarriage
2nd (1st baby) straight after miscarriage
3rd - 8 months
4th - 1 go! A shock after how long baby 2 took
