Do many people fall first time?

[mrsbutterflygirl]

Just wondering... I know in my family both my sisters fell first time everytime so i am wondering is it very common?

[xkwzit]

Hi BFG
I don' t think that this is the case for most, I've heard that the "average" time to fall pg is 6 months. For me it took 5 months each time (but I have a varied cycle).

I found the wait a bit trying - I've decided to have a baby - why aren't I pg ALREADY!

Cheers

I fell the month before I intended to start trying but I doubt I will be so lucky next time around. :rolleyes:

21 months for me :(

(unexplained infertility, we are both 23, and all tests showed we are both fertile)

[HoopDeeDoo]

I fell pregnant first time both times. But I was coming off the pill and apparently you are most fertile in that first cycle :)

[Peaceangels]

Took 5 years to fall with #1 (I had endometreosis) and #2 was not planned - fell with him when DS1 was 6 mths old while I was still B/F!! (but they say pregnancy is the cure for endo!).....................sooooo nice not to have to go through another 5years of hell for #2!

I fell pregnant the first time with both of my children. And I am acutely aware of how very lucky I was for this to happen.

And no, it's not the norm - it happens for about 3% of couples.

I haven't been on the pill for fifteen years. My husband feels ripped off as he didn't get any 'praccy' runs in!

I am the same as Deb first time every time. With numbers 2 and 3 we were not actively ttc and as any one with young kids is aware, and as you get a bit older the amount of sex you have greatly decreases, in this house anyway. So I too am very grateful.

I am in awe of people who undergo any sort of fertility treatment, I am unsure if I would be able to handle all the ups and downs that must go along with it.

it took us nearly a year after i went off the pill - tho' we weren't being too strategic about it. it wasn't until i decided to do things properly and have sex when i was ovulating that we finally fell pregnant :)

With my ds is took 5 weeks! with #2 now it is 6 months and counting....

I was accidentally pregnant after 3 weeks of meeting my partner. And that was using condoms.

[Rockett]

I came off the pill,and two months later I was preggers.I thought it would take longer though.

I fell first time, both times with my girls (lol, the story going around was he only had to point it at me and I was pregnant).

This time around, was harder.

13 months to fall with the baby that I m/c in May, and nothing yet, so I guess that's another 5 months since then.

No reason, we've been to see a specialist who did tests etc, nothing wrong with either of us, we had one round of IUI, that didn't work either.

It's all just a waiting game now, good luck for you, I hope you get the result you want (and soon).

[mrsbutterflygirl]

Hehe... it was the same with my sister.. they said that her husband would look at her and she would fall pregnant. She feel with the last one while on the depot (not sure if it is how you spell it) needle.. she was in themiddle of the 3 month cycle. (you get a needle and you dont get a period for 3 months and it lasts 3 months)

thanks for the good luck.... :) I'm getting nervous... I am such an impatient person i want to know now... hehe... can only wait though.

Hi Hannah,

I fell pregnant in the first month both times but unfortunately I had 2 miscarriages, lets hope that we are lucky the 3rd time

I fell on the 3rd cycle after coming off the pill. I'd been on it for 10 yrs due to Endometriosis.

I fell on the 3rd cycle after coming off the pill. I'd been on it for 10 yrs due to Endometriosis.

That is really encouraging to know... i was put on the pill when i was 12 for many reasons and i'm now 23 and coming off... never felt better either!! i can't believe how much the pill changes my body. It is encouraging to know that others have been on for years and still manage to fall fairly early thanks heaps!

[tyler's mum]

i was on the pill and use a comdon and still fell preg... i guess it depends on the person

[hoping4another]

Hi,
Well i was lazy with taken my pill and in the last two months of taken the pill i maybe missed it about 3-4 times each month and i got pregnant. Sadly i lost the baby to M/C :mad: .
Now i have been totally off the pill for 8 months for when i TTC i hoping i will fall pregnant first time around i am sure it won't take long. Finger crossed.

With my first it took 3 months.

With my second it took 3 years :(

My third around 6 months and

My 4th I wasn't trying...I got pregnant New Years Eve :rolleyes: too drunk to remember the condom... LOL

[Jamily]

I fell pregnant well before we decided to actively try - the first month I started looking into my cycle I noticed I got 3 temperature rises which was odd, looked up on the internet what it could mean and saw that I was most likely pregnant. Finally after a truck load of confusing neg tests, 4 days after AF was due I got a second line.

I doubt I will be so lucky with number 2 though

[jaydensmum]

I fell pg with my DS the same month i came off the pill! :D That was our first attempt at trying and we caught the egg. In September this year we decided to try again and i got pg again the first time trying. Unfortunately it was a chemical pg and the little bub didnt stick! :( Im still waiting to see the results of lasts months attempt because im only 6dpo still. Hopefully i am pg again and the bub sticks! :)

For me, it happened the first time we tried. I couldn't believe it!! I thought surely it would take longer - it took 3 home pregnancy tests to convince me - LOL!! :D
