how long did you expect

it to take for you to become pregnant. me personally i thought it would be a few months. mainly because of my age (I am 31)

But nope it seems my husband have very strong swimmers and they were determined to get to the egg..lol.

so after only 1 month..well ok make that less than a week of trying (if you can even call it trying) I was pregnant.

and now I am almost halfway through :)

I thought it would take us up to 2 years of casually TTC for #1.... umm 6 weeks later! LOL

We thought a few months, but got preggers first go too. It helped that i was charting (irregular long cycle)but first cycle - whan! My Dh told everyone he has super sperm.

I remember people telling me before my husband and I bought a house that I should start trying now (this was like a few years before we bought our first home) as it could take a few years. Glad I never listened to them :)

Maya was a Pill baby, so we didn't expect to have any problems conceiving. 13 months and one miscarriage later we finally got one that stuck - then split in half and made the gremlins

i have severe endometriosis and was told id probably never get pregnant again, however i got pregnant the week after my partner threw out my pill and we started TTC .

We thought a few months tops but it took 13 instead.

my husband and i started trying once we moved in together in jan 2000 and gabriel was born in nov 2003, by which time i had practically given up. so it doesnt always happen sooner than you think. ooops that doesnt really answer the question tho - 6 months is how long i thought it would take...and should say that between the time we started and gabriel was born we had a couple of miscarriages too.

I know there are a lot of women on here that will be saying "Bitch!!" to a few of us. I was told that I would probably have trouble conceiving due to PCOS (which I dispute). So we thought we'd start sooner rather than later. I'm 34 so clock is ticking and we would like 3. Well.......we fell pregnant straight away! at first our dates from LMP took us to literally the first night we tried unprotected but the scan suggests we may have had a week or so of practice .

We are so happy!!!! I just wish everyone had itthis easy

Dh and I decided after the wedding (November), Christmas and New Years that we would start trying (assuming it would take at least a few months) and was pregnant straight away!! Never knew it could be so easy, and felt that life is unfair, cos for alot of people it isn't that easy... we were very lucky!
