How long did it take you to get pregnant?

arbeyerarbeyer member
in 1st Trimester
Everywhere I search states something a little different on how long it takes to get pregnant on average. When asking all my friends with kids, they all seemed to get pregnant right away. How long after actively trying did you actually get pregnant?

    I never ttc on purpose but I did decide to stop taking my BC in November 2009 and Im just 6wks 2mrw..However I was on BC since I was 14yo which makes 10yrs str8 so my doctor explained that it could take longer to get out of my system:)

    It took us a year but that is pretty lucky considering both of our issues.

    I think you are finding conflicting information because it truly is different for every woman, I have been blessed and it took me only 2 months the first time, and 3 months this time. But I have a very good friend that has been to countless specialist and they've found nothing wrong and it has taken her 3 + years.

    I stopped taking my birth control on April 12 (it was the last pill before I'd start my period). I found out last week that we're expecting, so I didn't even go through a whole cycle! I went to my family doctor Monday to get a referral to an OB and he called me "Fertile Myrtle" lol. :)

    With my 1st child it took us exactly a year.  With my current pregnancy it took us 5 months.  But I'll tell you what happened with each....the month that we got pregnant I used those ovulation test kits.  Turned out I O'd around day 18 each time and so that helped us time things better.

    1st try both times. I was charting months before, so I knew my cycle. I don't ovulate until at least Day 20.

    With my 11 month old son it took me about a year, 5 months of which i was on Clomid, with this (surprise) baby I wasn't trying at all. I was off of birth control for about 2 months- not because I wanted to get pregnant but because the BC i was on caused me to spot all month long so I stopped taking it thinking I'd never get pregnant without fertility meds.

    My first pregnancy which ended in a m/c was a surprise. This pregnancy was our first month trying.

    Exactly 3 weeks after my mirena was removed I had my positive hpt (urine and blood)... so I didn't have a period before I got pregnant... I was using OPKs and I actually thought they were wrong! But I guess they weren't...

    I took my last birth control pill March 5th. Got my BFP on May 31st. Conceived first cycle! It was a little late to start, but well worth it.

    We feel very blessed to have conceived in the first month with our first two and the second month with this pregnancy. I know for some it takes a while, that must be very tough to go through.

    It took 9 months of tracking, charting, ovulation strips, blah, blah, blah for DS.  This time around we weren't trying, I have only had 3 very random periods since DS was born, and I'm still pumping all his BM.  Go figure.

    I got pregnant 2 weeks after quitting the pill (I quit during my period). However, I was never very consistant at taking the pill, so it wasn't as effective for me. With my son, I got pregnant after being off the pill for a month and a half. I did actively start trying as soon as I went off the pill, but both times happened sooner than I expected.

    Well- it took 2 1/2 years and one IVF later for DS.  We chose not to use any birth control since his birth.  He is 3 years old now.  We went back last July starting up IVF again.  So, umm, I'm not sure how to answer your question.  Let's just say longer than I wanted it to take :-)

    Hey, we should be friends ;).  DS was conceived while not trying, the second pg took 3 months.  Now, 18 months later, we're finally pg again.  You just never know.

    I got pregnant right away it was like two weeks after I went off BC. I used an ovulation calander like the ones they have on here and they worked for us,

    1st month.  I'd been off BCP and charting for over 2 years and used OPKs that cycle.  I wasn't expecting it to happen right away and I feel very blessed that it did.

    I went off b/c pills Nov. 2010- conceived beginning of April.  My cycles were really messed up after coming off the pill- anywhere from 20 days to 49!
