are our mums lying?
in the last couple of days on here I have read several times that peoples mums tell them how they got pg first month trying.
Do you believe them?
Sorry, really random post but if they all managed that then I want to know how...
Anybody have a mum who had some trouble TTC?

HOWEVER there is a five year gap between me and my bro. I know she mc'd at some point in between the two of us, but it is still quite a big gap. Kind of suggests to me that they took a while to conceive second time round.
But i did always hear all the Dont do that, Dont do this, youll get preg!
my mum had trouble the first time, took them 8 years to have my sister!!! this worries me a lot as i hope i wont suffer the same, it did however take them 7 and a half years to see the doc!
second time round i came along, i was a mistake on boxing day lol
so who knows, i reckon it happens when its meant to- or at least thats what i tell myself each time i get that BFN

With me she said I slept right through as a baby must be why I cant get out of bed now at 30yrs old - all that will change when we have a baby tho maybe even now to get in a pre-run he he!!
I think my mam said she got pregnant fairly quickly with all 4 of us tho.
never really chatted to mom about it - but i have to be honest - i've always felt like i was an 'accident'.
My future MIL on the other hand basically told me that she mc'd her 1st - a girl - which she lost quite late on - literally - she had the nursery, clothes etc all bought and ready! not too long after she fell pg with her 1st born - (my OH) - no problem at all.
She then said that her friend was pg - she found out and was so happy that she cried - she felt really maternal and wanted a LO to keep her friends LO company and hey presto - pg again.
and her 3rd was not planned!
so - there you have it - the patronizing truth is that - you just have to want it!!!!
sorry - bit of a rant - but i'm sorry - i want a LO so bad that - thats what makes me cry sometimes because it's not happening - and hearing about how easy it was for her - and all her friends just kills me. She announced to me the other day that altho her friend has really mixed cycles and long ones - she is incredibly fertile as on both occassions of deciding to ttc - it hapened pretty much straight away - grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..
sadly - with my future MIL and her friend - they seem to be telling the truth - what the bloody hell's wrong with me????
my sister tried for 2 years and was in the process of getting tests and while waiting for the results found out she was pregnant. hun dont beat yourself up about it , im sure there is nothing wrong with you and it will happen very soon.xxxxxxxxx
I know she didn't TTC whilst breastfeeding me and then had mc at 5months between me and my sis who is 4years younger so she must have takes a while to conceive my sis...
But we are three generations of only children. My nan then went on to MC and never fell again (i gt the impression they never had sex again!!) my mum had very bad blood presure and spent 5 months in hosptial when she had me so they decided not to havr anymore.
My MIL fell with her first (girl) straight away. But my husband came along 10 years later.
I really don't think it is that easy - you only have to read the comments on here to see that, so don't lose hope please!!
