Its been asked before but I would like to ask again...

[Flossam]

if you were TTC how long did it take you to become pregnant?

(yes Flossam is obsessing again)

DD1, DD2 and DS without properly trying. Have been ttc no. 4 since Jan tho

dd1 - about 4 months
dd2 - about 3 months
dd3 - about 2 months

a trend there I think - but no more little ones for us!

8 months, I was 34 and was told the average was 9.

Oooooh, Flossam!

DS1 - took a year and one cycle of clomid.

DS2 - think DH hung his trousers on the end of the bed and winked at me

3 months to get pg -- ended in m/c. Then another 7-8 months to get pg again.

Good Question flossam, I'm trying as well for my 1st, almost 5 months and no luck so far!

DrMalorytowers did you have symptoms that early? What were your early 1st symptoms?

ds - 2nd month
this baby - 2nd month

DS1 - 14 months
DS2 - one month
D?3 - two months

my first - due in 4 weeks, and took 2.5 years. In fact had given up really and gotten used to the idea of never having kids so was all a bit of a shock when I found out!

Hi Flossam.

Ds took 7 years and this one took 1 month.

dd - took 4 years

This one - no contraception used after dd born & conceived when she was 14 months old - wasn't "trying" as such, just not taking steps to prevent it IYSWIM.

dd1 errm we weren't trying, happened in like 3 weeks

dd2 we were trying took 1 year, but to be fair dh was in a submarine for four months of that

dc3 weren't trying, fell pregnant when dd2 was 12 months about 4 months after AF returned since stopping bf

it took 18 months of trying to get pg with ds. but we had 3 failed pgs in that time - 1 ep and 2 mcs - so 4 pgs in 18 months.

DS - first time of trying
pregnant now - took 2 years and course of IVF (unexplained infertility)

Sorry GN - didn't realise, didn't mean to be tackless.

I'm not actually enjoying the whole thing - I thought DP would be chomping at the bit but says he feels he is product not a person. So I think perhaps I am being a little over zealous poor soul. Today I fell down the stairs top to bottom (big big ow) so if any little potential cells were to survive that I would be incredibly shocked.

'tactless'

1st pg 2 cycles - mc
2nd pg 3 cycles - ds
3rd pg 1st cycle (not actually ttc as such) - mc
4th pg 1st cycle after mc - mc again
Now waiting to be able to try again.

Hi Flossam.

If you want to meet some fellow ttc obssessives, the conception boards are fantastic. I'm PG now, but found them a tremendous source of support.

Thanks Booboobedo (love that name!) I have been hovering there, but am very much trying to keep it light hearted and not get too absorbed into it all yet IYSWIM. I will see how things go - but I do bear it in mind!

FIT - I saw your thread, how are you? Did you manage to enjoy the remainder of you hols at all? Sorry it happened - you mentioned to me you were worried it might.

It's OK Floss, it was 6 years ago now and all water under the bridge as I was lucky to have 2 sucessful pgs afterwards.

TTC can get a bit stressful can't it. I can't really advise there as I always got obsessive about it! The 3 times I did get pg though were months I really didn't think I would (for e.g. I thought the timing was wrong)! Hope you are not too sore after your fall BTW.

FIT I hope it works out for you.

not sure what ttc is - but following on from another lady who sounds similar to me ...

fell straight away - then miscarried
then fell straight away 2nd month - miscarried
diagnosed with PCOS, no luck for a couple of months, perscribed Clomid - day I was meant to take it found out I was pg with dd (now 2 1/2).

Am 36 weeks pg now - took the risk once that month, not thinking anything of it and am due in 4 weeks!

Seriously don't understand how the body works!

Both DS's were conceived in first month of trying, which was fantastic at the time but am always worried now until DH gets disarmed as deffo stopping at 2!

I'm fairly OK now Floss - thanks for asking. Medical opinion seems to be that the 2 mcs were unrelated chance events so that gives me hope it will work next time.

girly - ttc = trying to conceive
