My first took 13 painfully long cycles.

With my second, I fell 1st try when my son was just 15 months. I was shocked! I gave birth just shy of my 33rd birthday.

14 months and still trying

Baby number 1 took months, around 18 months I think.
Baby number 2 took 2 months of trying!

Some of your stories have given me such a lift I really hope it is quicker second time around because 18 months was so mentally draining an put a strain on our relationship

First time. I was 34.

1st baby was a surprise
2nd was 9 months of tracking cycles.

It's cliche but I fell pregnant the first month I stopped tracking. Deleted all the apps, didn't do ovulation tests etc.

1st straight away.
When we tried for our 2nd I got pregnant straight away again but had an ectopic. Since then nothing, it’s been nearly a year.

Baby 1 was first month of trying, I was 26.

Baby 2 was 12 months of trying, month 12 was December and I thought, fuck it I'm getting drunk! Did a test Christmas Eve to make sure I wasn't pregnant and it was negative. Had a lovely, merry Christmas! Did another test the day after Boxing Day as was going to call the doctors to see if we could start some investigations and it was positive, I was 31.

Good luck OP, fingers crossed for you.
