How long did it take you? ( clicky poll)

ksgsmu

I am from the TTC board and curious how long it took you to get your  BFP?

Thanks for sharing!  Hope you all have a very happy and healthy 9 months![Poll]

27 months, to be specific.  I wouldn't wish that on anyone, not even a worst enemy.  After 12 months, go see a Dr about it, and if you're over 30, only wait 6 months to talk to a Dr.

We weren't trying, so I guess 1 month.

Titts McGeee

One time.

Which baby? We've been very lucky so far-

With DD it was 4 cycles (one anovulatory)

With my m/c it was the first cycle

And with this one, it was our first TTCAL cycle

 

Good luck!

Shayliz

20 cycles and 3 losses.

We had a blighted ovum in January - Finally had a normal cycle at the end of February and found out we were pregnant in May! 2 months

Las135

Got pregnant the very first month, but had a chemical pregnancy.  Then got pregnant the very next month without a period in between. So I guess its 2 months.

SockMonkeySam

First BFP 6 years. Had to finally do IF drugs

Second 8 months with IF drugs

Third 2 months with IF drugs

6.5 years, it sucked big time! So so happy to be here now!

I didn't vote because I'm all over the place.  DH and I tried for 15 months before I got pregnant with DD (I had been prescribed Chlomid but ended up getting pregnant without it), and now I'm pregnant again and we were using protection because DD is only 9 mo.  We wanted our kids 2-3 years apart, but of course we are thrilled!

It took us 12 years!

Todd&Laura

1st cycle, both times.

KristyVit

Mine was 10 months... We had just had our consultation at the fertility clinic 2 weeks before finding out. I think it must have scared my eggs into action at the thought of all those tests!

st.augbride

I voted 1 month, but with ds it was 13 months and that included fertility treatments, so you truly never know what life is going to throw at you!

Le Olive

7 months.

Pixelpants

Wasn't even trying *oops*

NicoleR524

With DS it was the 1st cycle

With my m/c it was the 1st cycle

With this pg it took 6 months of TTC 

CMor1

Wow! Congratulations for the BFP after all this time!

I voted for 1 month (beginner's luck) but with LO#1 it took 9 months so this was nice!

landosmommy

3 cycles for DS

6 cycles for #2 (ended in cp)

3 more cycles & pregnant with this one. 

So technically, 9 cycles to get pg with #2.

We weren't trying. I hadn't had a period after DD and we hardly have sex at the monent so one time at the right time caught the first egg!

This is kind of a hard question for me to answer....we began TTC in April of 2011 (or, maybe what I should say is that we quit preventing). I didn't wise up and start charting or using OPKs until August, got my first BFP in September 2011. Had a m/c in October. Got pregnant again on our first cycle in January 2012. Miscarried on Valentine's day. My third BFP (and this current pregnancy) was again on our first TTCAL cycle and got the BFP in May. 

So, the answer is either one month or, if you look at how long we have been doing this, or 12.

With DD it took 3 cycles after stopping BCP and charting.  With this LO it was just 1 cycle after Nuva Ring.  I was shocked because I was charting but I was sure I was having an annovulatory cycle.  My chart still makes no sense but something worked right!

FutureMrsDrew73110

My first BFP took 5 months, this current pregnancy took 7 TTCAL cycles. All in all We've been TTC for 13 months before I got my most recent BFP

pistolpackinmomma

BFP#1 took 2 cycles and ended in m/c (blighted ovum) had to tta for 1 whole cycle and then our first cycle back to ttc I got BFP#2. Pretty sure this one's going to stick!

Bride-hilda

I put "beginners luck" because the pregnancy I lost was a 1 month try. I got pregnant again and that took two months. I tracked my fertility with a P Calender on my iPhone and that helped TREMENDOUSLY!

brittandjp

I got off the pill (after 8 years) and had an ovulatory cycle right away, although we weren't trying that first cycle off. The next cycle we were specifically trying and it worked. So, I voted for 1 cycle.

Jezebell26

2.5 years, 2 losses and 3 IVFs

GrangerWifey

Cycle 6 resulted in my first ever BFP. 

phdwyfe2013

Both beginners luck (in December) and got a BFP on June 14th after several months (since Feb when my cycle came back after a m/c in January).

Just for background, I was told that I was infertile when I was 17. When DH and I decided to get married, we decided to hell with the drs, we are going to try. So we were trying before we even got married in June 2011. After a year, I went to a fertility specialist (because they still wouldn't see me until "a year of active trying" was up) until I got dx and got on Clomid in March. First try on Clomid = BFP! So really, it was a surprise to DH and I and was beginner's luck but I clicked 1+yr.
