How long were you with DP before getting pregnant ?

[CocoLady]

I had my dd with my ex after 8 months of being with him, we did love eachother but What I thought about him wasn't correct and his true colours were shown after a while and through other reasons we split when she was a year old.
We co parented from then and it's been up n down but she's a very happy little girl and we are much happier without being in a relationship than we are togther !
He has a new partner and so do I.
How long was it before you got pregnant or had a child with your ex or current partner ? Xx

11 years. We've been together since we were 16 and got pregnant after we got married 10 years later.

Fourteen years, in my case, OP! I met DH my first night as a medical student at uni, when I was 19. He was a second year scientist, age 20.
We moved in together after 3 days - his accommodation offer had been messed up by the uni, and he was sofa surfing. We got married after I qualified as a doctor.
It would have been impossible to cope with a baby while working 100 hour weeks as a junior doc, so we had our first when I was 33. And our second 16 months later!

4.5 years

5 years. 4 married before we had dc1.

10 years.

6 yrs. We got married after 5 yrs and ds was a honeymoon baby.

Been together 11 years. From the very beginning it is something we mentioned. We were 19 and going on 18 when first dating so it was always going to be in 10+ years when we talked about it. Now just thinking of TTC this year.

7 years, 3 years after we got married.

7 years together, 1 month married when I got pregnant.

4 years.

2 and a half years and then got pregnant (planned).

6 years - 2 together and then 4 yrs married before dc1. (I knew him a little bit for a few more years before getting together)

9 years but met at 20.

This is the contraception topic - might be more helpful if people also included what method, and how long between stopping and conceiving?

I'd been off the pill for yonks and we!s been relying on half-assed rhythm method (because pregnancy would not have been disastrous) and condoms. From stopping the condoms it took about 3 months.

3 years. We started trying on our honeymoon.

10 years - didn’t work out and 3 years (hoping it will work out)

DH and I will have been together nearly six years, married two and a half years when I have our first baby. It was somewhat held up by my body not playing ball, but we got there in the end.

15 months with DP and we're TTC. Ideally we'd have waited twice that time at least but we're very happy together, have the same values and future outlook and our ages don't allow for any hanging around.

Took me ages to work it out. I ended up having to use a calendar!
8 months.

5 years before ttc

Almost ten years. Married for nearly seven.

12 years

What contraception though?

This is the contraception topic, not a general pregnancy chat one?

OP: did you mean to post here, looking for info on how long a delay after a particular method?

7 years together 5 months married

7 months.

Not ideal and I wouldn’t recommend it to others. Thankfully we were/are compatible and he’s a good person, we’ve been together for decades now and have had other children since but it could’ve easily gone tits up after such a short time together.
