With DC #1 I got pregnant on the first try. Literally before we were even officially trying, but the first month after I went off the Nuvaring. With #2 it took about 6 months of active trying, using a fertility monitor. There were 2.5 years between the pregnancies -- I was 35 the first time and almost 38 the second time, so that may have had something to do with it.

I conceived my first easily... although now I see that "easily" is very subjective. It took me 3 months after getting off of BC w/o any charting or OPks. I thought 3 months was "easy", but that is subjective, I guess.
I'm still trying for my second, and it's been awfully, heartbreakingly long. Now over a year. Had a MC in the fall, so my doctor said that was a good sign of fertility. Not doing any medical interventions. Just OPKs now.
FWIW, I think that it is perfectly valid to ask a question even if it has been asked before. I think oftentimes we just want to know that we are not alone and getting responses in semi-real time helps us connect and feel that we are not alone. It's true that you can do a search, but the effect isn't quite the same. Besides, new people can have new experiences to add to the conversation.

OP here - I know, see original post. I appreciate hearing others' experiences, in any case.
Okay then. Not sure what is to be gained by it though or what people can say that hasn't already been said.
Not sure why you care. No different than 'when did your kid STTN?' or 'when did you lose the baby weight?' Different for all, but anecdotes are interesting!

I've been pregnant 5 times. Got pregnant easily all 5 times, 1st two were miscarriages. I was 28 for first three pregnancies, 30 for 4th and 40 for 5th. Long line of very fertile women.
