Hi there All
I've just started this TTC journey and I'm just wondering how long it took you to fall pregnant??
I was extremely fortunate with DS to fall first go - this time round I'm moving onto cycle 3 - so feeling a tad disappointed about it all I know it's early days but none the less feeling a little ripped off :rolleyes:
TIA
FOr DD1 it took 4 months and for DD2 3 months so fairly quick both times. Its hard to be patient but it will happen when you least expect it and just remember everyone is diff.
DD1 3 months
DD2 6 weeks post birth of DD1 (fully planned pregnancy...not an oppsie)
This is our first :babyneutral: and it took 2 months
I hope your BFP is just around the corner :)
Hi there
I think I am pretty fertile :redface:
DS 2 months
DD 2 months
1 x unplanned that resulted in angel
1 x planned 2 months resulted in angel
This time, first month and I am now 36 ...
Good luck in TTC - just enjoy the fun along the way :)

We werent exactly TTC with DD so she was a surprise
DS took a good 2 yrs
and again a 3 yr wait for this little man.
I have PCOS though and do not ovulate regulary.
Enjoy your TTC time and try not to stress to much
2 years for me. Stick at it, it will happen, just dont give up.
sending you lots and lots of :bluedust:
looking forward to seeing your BFP soon!!!!
Hi Dianna.. i hope you get your BFP soon!! Im hanging to see your Anouncment!!
DS.. wasnt planned (was on the pill)
DD (yet to be born).. first month
Just keep positive.. its going to happen before you know it hun! :pray: for you
Hi!! Good luck on your TTC journey - hope it is as short as mine!!
DS - first month
This new bub - first month.
:D
I'm just incredibly lucky to be that fertile.....
I've been TTC #1 for 6mths now.... and I'm learning 'patience' and hope bub #2 will be easier for us.... :)
It took us 10 months to conceive DD but in that time I only had four cycles (PCOS). Fingers crossed we will do it in less time when we start trying for #2.
#1 - unplanned
#2 - 6 months
#3 - still going at 9 months
:hug: i hope you get your BFP soon. Have faith.
Ive been told if i think really hard about being pregnant, then i will prob end up pregnant !!!!.
Preg #1 - 1st month trying
Preg #2 1st month trying
Preg #3 - an oopsie - still breastfeeding dd#2 and on minipill....
Good luck with it all...
Thanks Ladies - you've given me hope - i think sometimes when you get something pretty easy it's hard to accept that it's not just going to happen so easily the 2nd time around - still praying for my BFP this month - I don't think I'm completely out :pray: - and if it's negative I'll just keep on going :lol:
14 months with DD1, 19 months with DD2, and 14 months with DD3. DH and I are both young and healthy, and I have a long cycle, but do ovulate every time.
However, the positive side of this for us, is that we haven't ever worried about birth control, either! :) Hope you get your BFP this month.
Yeah Cricket that's what DH and I are going to do..... once we finally have first baby, we are not going to go onto contraception and just 'see what happens' for number 2! knowing that it could take a few months again!!! Or maybe it won't? If it happens straight away we'll be stoked!!! :)
I think cos' it's taken us quite a few months now to fall pregnant for first bub, at least we won't be expecting it to happen immediately for our 2nd.... we'll be more realistic about it.
(we're young, healthy, ovulate every cycle, BD often, and no reasons why we aren't conceiving... just not our lucky month yet)
Unplanned but had been off the pill for 3 weeks.
2.5 years for me. Not planned but weren't preventing either as since I was diagnosed with endo and both tubes blocked and would need IVF to get pregnant, I figured DP & I didn't need contraception. So a miracle and nice surprise :) Hopefully it has cleared the way for number 2.
DD took us 8 months after coming off the pill.
#2 took us 3 months coming off the pill
I hope i manage to get my BFP as quick as some of you :pray::D This is my first cycle and i think i already have my hopes up that it will happen, no harm in keeping positive right........
9 cycles for us - all charted - I have a slightly long cycle, but I do ovulate every month and we did plenty of correctly timed BD'ing. In fact the cycle I fell was one where I had very little hope as I had to go away at CD16... hadn't even tested until AF was 2 days late (which was unheard of at that stage!).
I would say that sometimes it seems that everyone else is falling straight away which makes you question yourself. Out of my closest friends, 2 of them fell straight away and myself and another took 9 months and 12 months.
Preg 1: second month (v surprised given I was 36 at the time)
Preg 2: about six months but wasn't charting or taking ANY notice of dates so may have been quicker if I had.
Preg 1: Unplanned whoopsie, now my 13yo DD.
Preg 2: Failed contraception, now angel.
Preg 3: Whoopsie, now angel.
Preg 4: Blighted ovum, now angel.
Preg 5: Planned after medically advised 3 month wait, conceived first cycle, now 4yo DS.
Preg 6: Unplanned, now angel.
Preg 7: Planned, happened after 2 cycles, now 21 month old son.
I was 24 when when I was pregnant with my Ist baby.... DH and I decided to make a go of our relationship after learning of her conception... and what a fertile couple we have turned out to be! I am 38 now and our family is complete.
the longer it takes the more likely it will happen for you soon is one way of looking at it!
you have probably heard the stats but just in case you haven't it takes on average something like 20-25% couples in the first month of trying, 60% of couples trying to get pregnant do so within six months. 75% of couples get pregnant within nine months while 80% get pregnant within a year. 90% of couples get pregnant within eighteen months of trying.
and all the more excited you will be when you get your BFP! it will happen but i know it is disappointing each month that it doesn't.
ttc number 1 took us 5 months - it was almost unreal when we got the BFP after so many BFNs.
fallen pregnant 5 times without ever even trying (trying to avoid if anything!)
fell preg 3 times on the pill and twice off whilst being sooper dooper careful.
You might think that is a blessing, but id rather have to try a little and ensure that bubs sticks - instead of recurrent mcs.
Took us 3 cycles. I had been off the pill for over a year and had been charting my cycle for about 3 months before we started TTC, so had a fairly good idea where I was at which I think helped. I'm now 25 weeks pregnant with our first and looking forward to our new addition.
As much as some couples don't want to focus too much on it even before TTC, I think that having the awareness of your body and your cycle is important.
I do feel very blessed that it was able to happen for us esp when friends of ours have been trying for over a year with nothing. They're only just starting to focus on proper timing a bit more now, so hopefully it works for them too.
Good luck to everyone.
