how long did it take you??

*Twinkle*

1st accident, on the pill, taking antibiotics,
2nd 3rd and 4th, all planned and fell straight away, i feel very lucky that i could fall so easily and i have seen how heartbreaking it is for couples to struggle

About 15 seconds for DS! I was on an all inclusive holiday, and had put the horrendous heartburn down to the champagne I had been drinking for 12 days, but then it clicked just before a 12 hour flight home that I was probably pregnant! Don't think OH spoke to me for the whole flight due to shock! Pregnancy test the next morning confirmed! We knew that we wanted to start trying after the holiday, but had been careless once just before we left.

My first took a month after coming off the pill. We count ourselves very lucky, but I'm now having issues with contraception and due to pnd don't want any more. Think it may have to be snip time!

Took me a year.

My first happened first month of trying. My second took two months. With my first, signs I had were sore boobs and slight crampiness well before my period was due. With my second, I think the first sign was the line on the pregnancy test.

2.5 years for no1 ( but we weren't 'trying' as I had been told I was infertile ) so falling pregnant was the best surprise of our lives For no 2 DH read somewhere that if you did 'it' every other night, then you should conceive within 3 months if there were no other medical problems...and it worked for us..pregnant by the end of the 3 months

Took over 3 years of trying for me with M who is now 6. I haven't used contraception since he was a year old and have regular periods and have had blood tests to show I am ovulating. There have been spells in this time where we haven't had sex very often and other spells where we have had sex a lot! It took my mum 14 years!!

As for symptoms, many of my pre menstrual symptoms are the same as those for pregnancy such as achy boobs, mood swings and tiredness. The only real difference when I was actually pregnant was the sickness but that didn't start until around 5 weeks.
