We tried for a year and a half for DD. Charting, temping, OPKs, and two rounds of clomid = nothing. One month for a vacation and completely "letting go" and not trying = pregnant!
This one was a complete and total not trying, happy birthday DH surprise. It was the only weekend we were together all summer due to DH working out of state. Lucky birthday sperm!!
Two weeks after IUD removal haha! With our first we got pregnant first cycle off BCP but had a chemical pregnancy. We got pregnant the following month with DS.
First month trying for me, too. Same as with our son. I was expecting this time to take longer since my IUD was just removed in the end of June, but apparently things started working again pretty quickly!
With our first pregnancy (mmc), 1st cycle after an IUD removal. With the twins, we had to wait 2 cycles before trying again, but we waited 4 for emotional reasons. Got pregnant first cycle trying with them. This little one took us 4 months/5 cycles to get pregnant with. Overcame endometriosis from me and low testosterone/low sperm count for DH.
2 years. It was a year and a half before we found out about DH's lack of sperm production. 1st IUI cycle with donor sperm was when it finally happened though!

3 months for my chemical pregnancy, 5 months for this one. I'm surprised at how many first-cycle's-a-charmers we've got in here! Glad I didn't see this while we were still trying
Right away with both - had a chemical pregnancy right before I got pregnant with DS (never got a period just got k/u again) and then got pregnant on the first try.
My whole life I was worried about fertility issues because of a family history of issues, who knew I would be fertile myrtle. I could not be more grateful for this gift.
5.5 years; 1 natural conception followed by miscarriage, 1 failed FET after IVF, 1 miscarriage after successful FET after second IVF. Now a natural conception 2 years after last IVF and so far, so good. Never stopped trying.
Started trying in June, found out September 14. I'm 35 and have had very difficult periods. My mom had endometriosis and had difficulty conceiving so I thought it would take us awhile. We were pleasantly surprised!
This pregnancy happened on our first transfer of our 2 frozen embryos. However, those embryos were the result of 3 years, 5 IUIs, and 2 full IVF cycles. Our DS was the result of the previous FET from the same batch.
Married 08.06 Started TTC 05.08 Me: Stage II endo, borderline high FSH DH: perfect 1 lap, 5 IUIs = 4 BFNs and 1 c/p 2 IVFs, 2 FETs = 1 BFN, 1 c/p, 1 ectopic and finally a sticky BFP in May 2011!
I tried for 18 months with my ex and nothing happened. We split and I started seeing my current boyfriend soon after that. We had an "uh-oh!" pregnancy in February (it was Valentine's Day, we were long distance... blah blah blah). That pregnancy miscarried in late March. Now we live together and decided that as soon as my birth control ran out we'd try again. First month we got preggers!
