5 months of actively TTC, charting, OPKs, Preseed... for DD1.
DD2 was 1 time, first month off BCP, decided to just see what happens.
CP 3/07 BFP 5/07 - Kylie born 2/08. BPF 2/09 - Alexandra born 10/09. TTC since 8/13 - diagnosed difficulty conceiving due to LP defect. Took vitamin B and Vitex Berry to help lengthen. BFP 2/14 - Missed M/C found at 8.5 weeks. D&C at 9w2d. Partial Molar Pregnancy. BFP 11/14
I wouldnt exactly call myself fertile since I needed the help of an RE to get pregnant both times.
But with DS1 we tried for 14 months before we got pregnant. With DS2 we knew where to start and what worked the last time so it was much quicker. It took two cycles with the RE to get pregnant with DS2.
We were really suprised to get pregnant so fast the second time after having such difficulties the first time! We were 1 month off from doing fertility treatments the first time, but ended up concieving naturally.
#2 - suprise! We wern't preventing because we assumed we'd have the same problems as with number 1. We were going to start trying in 2 more months anyway, so we were SO happy!

This was like us, too - except #1 was 19 cycles and our second IUI. #2 was the first month after I weaned DS - I never got a ppAF, and took a test: BFP! We had an RE appointment set up in 2 more months, so we were excited
DD - It took 2 years and an IVF/ICSI cycle (and 2 losses along the way)
DS - I stopped nursing late Jan, got my first period early February, found out I was pregnant mid-March. So... I guess 1 cycle? But we weren't trying at all and it was just a wonderful, happy, fantastic surprise.
It took us about 6 years to get pregnant with DS. When he was 5 months old I found out I was pregnant with DD - Just waiting on her to make her arrival!

5 times pregnant:
- 2nd cycle
- 1st cycle
- 2nd cycle (maybe 3rd...can't remember, followed a m/c)
-1st cycle
-1st cycle
9m for number 1
1st cycle for number 2
#1- 2nd cycle
#2- 1st cycle without the IUD but I wouldn't exactly say we were trying
With Ds we suffered a miscarriage in August of 08 we waited the recommended cycles and Ds was conceived in November.
With DD (this one) we weren't trying but we weren't preventing either so honestly I don't know.
DS-5 cycles but started on the 4th cycle and got pg the first cycle I realized I ovulate on the 25th day!
DD-a "surprise" but it was the first time we had unprotected sex
A year and a half including 2 m/c's for DS.
One month of "seeing what would happen" for #2. We were completely shocked.
1 cycle with DD #2
DD#1 15 cycles
DD#2 1 time literally (one cycle though)
For each pregnancy, it took 1 cycle (I was charting temps each time so watching closely for ovulation).
DD - It took 2 years and an IVF/ICSI cycle (and 2 losses along the way)
DS - I stopped nursing late Jan, got my first period early February, found out I was pregnant mid-March. So... I guess 1 cycle? But we weren't trying at all and it was just a wonderful, happy, fantastic surprise.
DS1 - 1st cycle
DS2 - 1st cycle.
