When did you concieve?

Hey ladies I was talking to my best friend today and her sister in law is having troubles getting pregnant and she is only 23.  I was just wondering at what age were you when you got pregnant each time and how long did it take to concieve?

Wow, pregnant 8 times!? That's incredible! Many of us only dream for one or two. My sister was also blessed with easy conception.

16 for 1st (gave up for adoption)
23 for 2nd (m/c)
24 for 3rd (boy)
25 for 4th (boy) (both boys are 10 months apart)
30 for 5th (girl) (unplanned)

Sorry about all the m/c though. Must have been pretty rough. Best of luck with this pregnancy!

I was 21 with our daughter 22 when she was born, we had been trying for a year.  Only happend after I had and HSG.

I was 23 when we got pregnant the second time, only took 3 months but ended with a ruptured tubal pregnancy. I didn't know I was pregnant until after it had burst.

I'm now 21 weeks with a little girl and it only took us two week, lol.  DH and I had been apart for 4 months and together for 2 weeks and ended up pregnant.  We were trying but didn't think we were going to get pregnant easy because I only had one tube.

I was 22 with my first and it happened the first month off b/c.  I was 25 with my youngest, but threw away a b/c pack that was only half completed and it screwed up my system (stopped ovulating).  After about 3 months, my doctor gave me a shot of progesterone and it happened that same month.  Worked wonders.

I was 18 when i got pregnant with my first and I was NOT trying... total suprise.... I am currently 28 and currently pregnant with my second (26 weeks) and we were not actively trying for this one but werent being very careful.... it probably happened after about 7 months of not trying but not using protection!

19 - about 3 months off bc but we weren't technically "trying". Just not being too careful.

I was 19 with my first daughter.

I was 21 with the baby I miscarried and then my 2nd daughter.

I'm now 23 and just had another pregnancy that ended in miscarriage.

Looks like every other year for me.

I found out I was pregnant with my first a few days before my 26th birthday.  Have been actively trying for over 9 months and now 30 weeks with a girl. Haven't been using any type of BC though for about 6 years now and surprisingly never got pregnant during that time.

We tried for over a year when I was 24-25, got pregnant that ended in a miscarriage, then got pregnant again after one cycle, when I was 25. Age really doesn't matter too much, there are a million different factors that can cause issues.
