How long did it take you...

To get pregnant?

I'm lurking. I've been TTC for about 6 months (7cycles). With DS it only took 3 or 4 cycles. So, naturally I'm freaking out.

I just wanted some encouragement, and to see what the going average was around these parts :-)

meegs10 · August 2012

For my first we got pregnant my second cycle off birth control pills.

This pregnancy took us 5 months/5 cycles. I was also freaking out since it happened so quickly last time.

Baby dust to you!

cellomusic11 · August 2012

It took us two years this time.

lisamoe · August 2012

Ahhh...Thanks! Big Smile

Six months with #1. This time I got pg on our first cycle. Didn't expect that!

OhSewCrafty · August 2012

With DS#1, it took three cycles. This time it took two. I had been, however, charting for about 6 months prior to actually TTC to try and get used to my cycle and keep an eye on my O date.

Have you been charting/temping? I highly recommend it! Fertility Friend is a fabulous tool to use.

I went off the NuvaRing in June and I just found out on Friday that we are preggo!! So it happened really fast for us.

My son was a honeymoon surprise and this one took 7 months. Good luck!

kewltif · August 2012

It took two cycles both times. I use OPKs to see when I ovulate.

ThereBeDragons · August 2012

Three and a half years.

It can take a healthy fertile couple up to a year to get pregnant even with good timing. The human reproductive system is inefficient at best, each month you have about a 20% chance with perfect timing.

LoveMyMen · August 2012

With DS it took us 3 months. This time it took us 11 months. Good luck!!

MattMal11 · August 2012

A year and a half and two cycles of clomid!
Sending you some baby dust!

Temp6313048411121614 · August 2012

With DS1 I got pg 1st cycle. My twins I got pg 1st cycle on Clomid (it was my 6th month but had a LPD so Clomid was prescribed). This pg was 1st IVF cycle.

be888 · August 2012

We started trying in January 2012. It took us 9 cycles. Best of luck to you!

Do twins run in either family? Or do you believe it was the Clomid?? I keep teasing my husband we are having twins bc of the Clomid. first appointment friday, 9 weeks then

bhjones1980 · August 2012

I went off BC in June, we had two cycles off BC before I got pregnant, but we were not really trying the first cycle (not temping or charting or anything).

The first cycle trying we got the BFP!

maritimeme · August 2012

It took us 6 cycles, we had great timing for 3 of them.

drewiekc · August 2012

With DD, 20 cycles. With this one, 2 cycles.

luciddreamer106 · August 2012

14 months of actively TTC

GoMaltby18 · August 2012

6 months the first time, but it ended in m/c. 6 months later I got pregnant with my first son. We never tried to avoid after he was born and 19 months later I got pregnant with #2. This time around it took 6 months again.

Jenojeno · August 2012

Started trying in Jan of this year. Just got my BFP last week. Did 2 cycles of Clomid. (I'm old....)

markhamgurl · August 2012

We got lucky on our second cycle (ie. the second month), though we've had our struggles (read: vaginismus) and weren't ever sure we'd get to the point we'd be able to properly try to have a family.

We were kind of trying before that, but the vag was saying "No way!" to poor hubby. What a relief we got beyond that diagnosis in enough time to start a family together (phew).

CloudBee · August 2012

5 months

luv2race1320 · August 2012

I'm 34, hubby is 42. We started trying in April, got pregnant & miscarried in May & just got pregnant again in August. I am and always have been very fertile & I know my schedule very well. I have 2 girls, 15 & almost 10. I also miscarried before my 2nd child & then got pregnant the following month. This will be hubby's 1st. I go to the dr tomorrow for blood work. Really hoping this one sticks :-)

SadieTop · August 2012

Oh honey, you have nothign to worry about. It took us 14 and this is our first. I'm sure it will happen soon but IN understadn the frustration more than you know.

KMLilly143 · August 2012

DD we got a BFP on cycle 8... baby # 2 we started in June and got a BFP in August (2 cycles).

lildevil968 · August 2012

Lurking, but with DD it took us a year, and well DS was a surprise baby.

Annabelle7 · August 2012

For our first child it took one cycle.

For this time it took 8 cycles!

MrsRKJ · August 2012

8 cycles/9 months

Ditto! It took us just over three years and three attempts at IVF cycles.

WorkinWeezel · August 2012

My first- first month

This one- 18 months; was diagnosed with unexplained secondary infertility; as in, there was nothing they could find wrong with me or MH to explain why it wasn't happening.

URMySunshine77 · August 2012

Something like 60% of women get pregnant within six months and 80% get pregnant within a year. I would highly recommend using the Fertility Friend Web site if you do not already.

It took us three months.

Zippydoo · August 2012

I went off the birth control pills in July 2011, we got pregnant in June 2012, so almost a year....

JSS1002 · August 2012

About 10 cycles, but I wasn't charting, just using OPK / CBEFM.

SaraSmile19 · August 2012

One year of trying, charting the last 7 cycles.

jwthoms1 · August 2012

Wow. I'm the freak of this post. We got pregnant on the first cycle with DS and first cycle with this pregnancy.

Mrs.DeliaMarieP · August 2012

First two pregnancies we got lucky in our first cycles, but the second one ended in miscarriage. 3rd bfp took 4 cycles then was a chemical pregnancy, then on my 5th cycle I got pregnant with this LO.
