Straight away all 3 times, aged 18, 20 and 30!

We went from talking about it to pregnant in less than a month each time.

Well, except for number two who was the result of a one-off lapse in contraceptive use (not much talking went on with that one!) :rotfl:

I came off the pill and it took apx 2 years (i was 22) unfortunatley mc but was pg again 3 months later and now have ds whos almost 2. We decided to start trying again in June this year when we went on holiday....im currently 6 weeks into my first trimester and this one is due mid march 09. I am amazed it happened so quickly this time but def agree with others about stressing about it-i think that's why it took so long the first time. I will be 26 when this one is born. Good luck and enjoy the 'practising'.xx

3 times less than a month 1st time i was 24 my friend said we must have been at it like rabbits :rotfl: 2nd time thought it would take a while so was a bit surprised :eek: we did nothing out of the ordinary i think being chilled about it helps had a friend and she was desperate (it took over her life and she still didnt get pregnant).good luck and dont listen to the doc theyre not always right.:D

I think, & this thread sums it up, that there is no "normal" time that it takes. I fell whilst on the pill (within days of starting the atkins diet) with DD1 & day1 of trying with DD2. I was 32 when I fell with the eldest & 34 with the second.

Good luck

My family are bad reproducers. I worry about it alot that when i come to want a child im going to have to wait as long as my mum did to have me: 13 years.

I know i wont leave it late to start trying cos i dont believe it will happen as quick as, although i guess you never know!!

It took my DH to hear the snap of knicker elastic, and that was it! Pregnant during the 1st week of the honeymoon, and we'd given ourselves a year to try!!!

Same for the next 3 too - and after that I always kept a pair of housebricks close by me to deter any further advances!

my first i stopped taking the pill and got pregnant pretty much straight away,i was 28. my second ,at 33, i also was using impalon and even though my doctor told me it would be out of my system in 24 hours it took us 3 months of trying and i mean trying!!!:rotfl:

I took me about 18 months after coming off the pill. I had been on the pill for about 4 years. I was 23 when I had the twins.
It took a while as I have irregular cycles, sometimes no period for up to five months at a time :eek: . But like buses we waited for ages then two came along at once

I was 27 when I conceived my first son, two months after coming off the pill though I didn't expect to catch so soon. But when I tried for no 2 five years later I had no luck after 9 months of very actively trying. I gave up trying, started a new job and went on holiday and bingo - I fell pregnant again.
