Took 6 months to conceive but 1 year to have a successful pregnancy.
I give up trying to get a ticker. I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome. Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself. Hmmm. How about...
"It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?" - A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh
I did suffer from ovarian cysts when younger, but doctor's assured me no damage was done. Additionally, I was late once in that time period, and hopeful. Unfortunately, 53 days later, it came again.
I kid, I kid, sort of. DD1 was definitly an oops (best "mistake" I ever made.) DD2 was a "we're not really trying, but we're cool if it happens" baby.

First time I got pregnant my second cycle. We're no longer preventing number two but not charting either. It's been 4 months. If I'm not pregnant by the new year, I'll start charting again (used charting for bc for a while before we got married).
DS was a surprise for my mom when I cams home on Spring Break from college. She was pissed. DD2 took one cycle. We got pg on accident in May of 2011, ended in MC, two cycles to conceive after that, ended in another MC. Stopped trying, had a surprise BFP in May of 2012, and our twins were born in Dec 2012.
Second cycle for DD, and DS was the product of miracle sperm. We had sex one time that month and used a condom. I remember looking at the pee stick for like 15 minutes, like what?
Tips, all I can say is that once a friend of mine stopped actively trying she got her bfp within a couple cycles.
DS2 - Negative 1 cycle. We were actually going to start trying the next month, but things got exciting when we were downstairs without condoms handy and we figured what the hell, it probably won't happen anyway...
DD conceived cycle #1. This baby took 21 cycles. I had two losses and we did fertility treatments. Unsuccessful. we were waiting to do IVF and I got pregnant.
If you are under 35 most Dr will say give it 12 months. Charting helps. so do ovulation predictor kits. My SIL who is an OB recommends people have sex every other day days 10-20 of your cycle.
With DS1 it was the second month we tried. With DS2 we tried 2 months in a row, took a break so I wouldn't be due for my sis's wedding and then it took 1 month.

DS1: 4 months, but I went off BC 6 months earlier and DH and I used other means of protection. DS2: 2 months (that was a shocker to us!)- I had never went back on BC.
With DS it took 2 cycles with this pregnancy it took 6 cycles.
With DS we just winged it and used Preseed. With this pregnancy I charted, used a fertility monitor, used OPKs, used Preseed and took B6 for spotting during my LP.

I started charting before I went off BC and got pregnant on the first month.
LoisLayn23 that's not bad! I think it only took DH about 5 minutes
MD took about 8 months/4 (jacked) cycles.
We're on month 3/cycle 2 for the deuce.
