Clicky poll! How long did you try for this pregnancy?

We've asked this before but I thought a poll would be easy to see. [Poll]

Re: Clicky poll! How long did you try for this pregnancy?

  • It only took one cycle to conceive this baby, but we have been trying since August 2012 for a 3rd take-home baby.  So I voted one cycle, but really it's been a long time coming with 2 losses before this baby.

  • For this pregnancy, first cycle. For this baby, we've been trying since July, conceived two other times (August and October), lost both, and then took 6 months off. First cycle from TTC again and we got KU. Kind of a complicated answer.

  • I voted that we weren't trying, but in reality we were nt/np for about 4 cycles.

  • I said around 1 year, although it was 11months. But I only had 6 cycles that whole time.

    Our TTC history is eerily similar.

  • wow, I thought there would be more people in my shoes around the 1.5 - 2 year mark. This was lucky cycle #25, but I have short cycles, so it was only month 20 of trying.

    Sorry I couldn't really think of a nice way to write out an option like this. I should have put an option for those with recent loses and went back to trying again.

  • Technically this is a hard question to answer because we have been trying since October and I had a loss in November. But then we took a few months off and started trying again in April. I got pregnant our second cycle trying when we started back. So that was my answer.

  • Had the same thing, complicated answer, but I appreciate your options for the poll are limited!

    Started trying in June 2012, 4 cycles till first preg then one loss that meant basically 6 months on hold between pregnancy, missed miscarriage, bleeding for 2 months, then D&C, then recovery.

    But I was lucky in terms of after D&C I waited the requisite one cycle and then first one after got pregnant (but it was a long cycle - I haven't had a period since March but then I didn't ovulate till end of April which was when we were successful).

    No worries.  Yeah it definitely would be hard to figure out how to word that.  Maybe just a "special snowflake"?

  • It took us nearly 2.5 years (21 cycles) to conceive the first time with our CP, then we conceived this baby 4 months later on our 2nd cycle.

    TTC #1 since 9/10

    BFP #1- 1/15/13 EDD: 9/23/13 Early M/C- 1/18/13

    BFP #2- 5/8/13 DS- 1/10/14
    Anniversary

     

     

  • I put first cycle because we got lucky and got a BFP the first cycle we were allowed to TTC after our loss in February. I feel like we have been trying for over a year because of the losses.

    Including our oldest child! They're only about 3 weeks apart.

  • I went off BC in October and we had been casually trying since then, but had not started charting or temping. I was going to start that this cycle after taking Provera, but that didn't happen since I found out I was pregnant.
  • We weren't trying. Total surprise..  :|

    Our first pregnancy happened on the first try, but it was a molar pregnancy and there was a lot of drama that followed it, including a year long delay in trying again. It took 6 months to get pregnant with DS, so we figured it would be awhile before I got a BFP.

  • I don't know which one to pick....

    We have been TTC since 10/11. Got a lucky BFP on 10/12 and discovered missed miscarraige. I FINALLY naturally miscarried Thanksgiving week 2012. Then we had to wait 6 weeks to TTC again. We started fertility treatements in Jan 2013 and got a BFP in April.

  • I weaned N a couple of months ago and we started having unprotected sex. I wasn't actively charting or anything we just kind of wanted to see what would happen. I had 3 periods before I got a BFP.

  • We weren't trying this time. We just m/c 3 months ago were going to wait until August to start trying.

  • We actively TTC using a fertility monitor and OPKs for 5 cycles.  On the sixth cycle we decided to NTNP which resulted in a BFP.
  • I can answer for all my pregnancies (although I did the clicky for this one.)

    #1- 3 months

    #2- 1 month

    #3- 1 month (ended in m/c)

    #4- We tried for 2 months, took a break and TTA for a month and got PG that cycle.  Oops.  So technically we wanted to get PG, just not the month we did, but it all works out for a reason!

    #5- SURPRISE!

  • Lucky cycle #6 of charting was the winner for us.

  • Took two cycles, but we had a miscarriage in November so we've trying/thinking about baby for 6 months or so. 

    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker imageBaby Birthday Ticker Ticker

  • We were NTNP. We were told to wait three months, so we tried in December and no dice. Took another four months off to regulate my cycles [and to get myself in check emotionally], then just said "whatever happens, happens" this time around. Still a little shocked.

    My first was a complete surprise, and our second was another "whatever happens, happens" type of thing.

  • I am apparently "Fertile Myrtle" over here.  With both this baby and my DS we conceived on the first try.  I am just someone who cannot ever be off birth control unless I want to have a kid.  Good thing Hubby already knows he is going to get snipped after this one comes out.

  • This was the first "trying" cycle for us - but that doesn't include the two miscarriages I had in the last year. 

    Getting pregnant has never been the issue. It's staying pregnant that is the problem for me.

  • I guess technically it took one cycle, because it was directly after a CP for which we had tried 6 cycles prior.  I voted 5-8 cycles, because I consider it having tried for 7 cycles.

  • 3.5 Years.  No BFPs, nothing the whole time.  No cycle issues, doctors weren't concerned with his counts (which weren't great, but not awful). Then, two days before my laproscopy - bam. BFP.

  • We got pregnant immediately after our miscarriage. Like two weeks after. We werent going to necessarily avoid but we werent charting or anything to try. Happy surprise!

    That's my nickname from my friends and family haha I got pregnant with my first son within seconds of stopping bc, and the twins it was the same. And this baby was 2 weeks after a miscarriage. I feel very blessed, now just if I can stay pregnant I would be much happier
