...did you find it as easy for subsequent conceptions?

We are 3.5 years older now and will be ttc soon. First pregnancy, fell pregnant 1st month and had a very straightforward pregnancy. Very thankful. Worried it might not be as easy this time!

Fell pregnant first month trying, had an early mc, tried again the next month and fell pregnant with my now 2.5 year old. Started trying for no.2 In June/July and fell pregnant first time again. It's actually happened so quickly I'm not sure I was quite ready but we roll

No. Multiple miscarriages.

Margo34 · 17/08/2022 16:59

No. Multiple miscarriages.

I will add: I seem to fall easily but sustaining them is the difficulty.

J1290 · 17/08/2022 17:01

Got pregnant the first month trying, both times.

HeyDuggeesFavouriteSquirrel · 17/08/2022 17:21

Got taken by (wonderful) surprise with DS one so there was no 'trying' at all. Got pregnant straight away trying for next DC but ended in miscarriage. Now been trying again for four months.

iloveyankeecandle · 17/08/2022 18:50

Yep. Both times was first try.

GingerFox2021 · 17/08/2022 19:40

1st - one time sex without no idea of ovulation times.
trying for a 2nd for two years now..

eatsleeprepeat123 · 17/08/2022 20:04

1st - 4 months
2nd - first month

sunshineamongsttheshitstorm · 17/08/2022 20:11

Pregnant 4 times - first month each time
1 miscarriage

Hdocheub820 · 17/08/2022 20:13

Yes both first month trying.

Jules912 · 17/08/2022 20:15

Yep, first first month of trying. Second we were more not not trying so only dtd once.

BuffaloCauliflower · 17/08/2022 20:16

1st pregnancy - 1st cycle, but early loss
2nd pregnancy/1st child - 3rd cycle
3rd pregnancy (current) - 1st cycle, literally one try

TheBitterBoy · 17/08/2022 20:16

Not for me sadly. Conceived DS within two months of trying at age 34, never been pregnant again, despite IVF.

Oblomov22 · 17/08/2022 20:17

Yes. Pregnant almost immediately, miscarriage, pregnant again almost immediately.

bakewellbride · 17/08/2022 20:19

We were incredibly lucky in that it was first try each time with both our children (4 year old and a baby).

However the first trimester with my second was quite tough mentally. I was quite on edge about miscarrying or something going wrong because it felt 'too good to be true' so even if you do conceive quickly again it's not always smooth sailing. Once I had the 12 week scan I truly relaxed into the pregnancy though and it was great.

TheBitterBoy · 17/08/2022 20:19

I will add it's been a long time since we gave up on having another DC, DS is 15.

Dalaidramailama · 17/08/2022 20:20

Ive had 3 all conceived first month. My third 9 days after implant removal.

My sisters all conceived in the 1st month and our mum went through meno at the age of 62.

Barleysugar86 · 17/08/2022 20:21

No. First baby we got on first month of trying (both 31), second baby took 11 months (both 35). But we had a lot more stress when trying for baby number two (my work situation was quite toxic), which I do think might have contributed.

palmerita · 17/08/2022 21:00

Pregnant first time, both times. Lots of tracking cycles, taking taking opks involved

bez91 · 17/08/2022 21:04

1st - fell first month came off contraception
2nd - tried for 2 years and had 3 miscarriages, DS is now 3 months. Think someone else said above, seem to fall easily but sustaining a pregnancy was the difficulty and falling ok first time certainly doesn't mean the same will happen again

DelurkingAJ · 17/08/2022 21:07

DS1 - month 1
DS2 - month 7

Smooth pregnancies both times. Very lucky all round.

bunnypenny · 17/08/2022 21:10

1 child - first month of trying
2 child - first month of trying
3 child - surprise pregnancy

no tracking, each just happened (and I’m older too, so it was a big surprise)

Downandout01 · 17/08/2022 21:12

1st child- 1st time trying
2nd pregnancy- 4 months trying but ended as MMC
2nd child- 1st time trying after MMC
