How old were you when you had your first child?
Was your first child planned or unplanned?
If planned, how long did it take for you to conceive?
If unplanned, where you using birth control?
My husband and I are planning our first child, we are hoping to conceive soon and are crossing our fingers for a baby next year!

We were both 22 and had been married 2 years. She was unplanned, although we were not using b/c, so it isn't that we didn't want a child. My husband was leaving for a yearlong tour in Korea the morning I got knocked up. Whoops!
But I regret nothing, she gave me a life!

When i had my first child i was 17 years old, it was an unplanned pregnancy , as you can see why it was unplanned i was only 17.
after i had my 1st , i went on birthcontrol( the needle) the booklet had said after using the needle it could take 6 month to 2 years b4 you can conceive, so when my child was 15 months old i stopped the needle thinking i would only get pregnany 2 years after stopping it , but it took 6 months until i conceived my second
third wasnt planned
forth was planned but i wasnt taking any birth control, so it took only about 3 months b4 i had my 4th child , any way i hope i answered ur question toodles

29 when I gave birth...28 when I conceived. My husband was 25 and 24 at those respective points.
Planned baby, and it took one shot. LOL. People think I'm kidding, but it's true. He's in the military, and had just come back from a seven-week school he'd been at immediately after we got married. We both have family histories of reproductive problems, not to mention he has all sorts of chemicals in his bodies from Iraq, so we started trying when he got back, thinking it might take a lot of time, or we'd never conceive. Apparently, my husband has super swimmers (or at least one), and I hadn't developed the problems in my family. Keep in mind, we never used any birth control other than condoms before we decided to TTC, so, my body didn't need to get back to normal before we started trying (I've heard that can take a while for some people).

My sister was 16 when she had her first child it was unplanned and she wasn't on birth control. Her second child was planned and only took a couple of months.Her third child was unplanned and she was on the birth control patch. Her fourth child was unplanned and she was on birth control with an IUD (She is happily married and her last 3 children came from him)

Well first of all congratulations on trying for a baby. I'm sure you will have no problems conceiving. My ex-husband and I did not plan or son's birth, but I was 22 and felt very overwhelmed being that young. I was on Ortho Tri-cyclean, for 3 years prior to getting pregnant.

My first child was planned and it took me not even 1 month to conceive him after i got off the depo shot.Good luck because i have heard so many stories that after being in birth control it takes them a long time to conceive but everyone is different.Good luck.And I was 18years old.

I just had my first child at the age of 25.
Planned. It took us 11 months to conceive.
And good luck, hope it happens real soon..but remember it can take up to a year for a healthy fertile couple so don't stress about it and also try but don't try. The month I got pregnant was the month I least expected it...so don't try to hard and it will happen.

I was 20 years old
she was the best surprise I could have asked for (that should answer the 2nd question)
My husband and I were newleyweds :)
I was not on birth control, and again, what a wonderful surprise. Now, 5 1/2 years later, we have been trying a second for three years and nothing!!! It's very frustrating and I am now with a fertility doctor
Good luck to you
