How long did it take you ....

[futuresoccermom]

to get pregnant while you were 'trying' ???

I have finally decided that i'm ready to have another baby Our first just turned 4...
We started trying 3 months ago.... and I know 3 months isn't a long time but I got pregnant the first month I tried the first time around....
Now i'm curious and wondering what is going on! I know approx when I ovulate, and signs..so I think we're 'trying' on the right days....

I'm getting nervous!

It took us three months of trying after giving myself a two month break after getting off of BCP (we used other methods during that time). The second month I actually had a chemical pregnancy, but the third month, we finally got one to stick. Best of luck!

With DS - 2 cycles
with DD - 6 cycles
with the twins - we had decided to start trying a week before I found out I was preggo, lol!

[ibisgirldc]

7 mos (we used the OV watch for the last three, probably incorrectly at first. Absolutely certain that i got pregnant due to its advice, and absolutely certain that if we'd stuck with the pee sticks alone, it would have been many more before we got lucky.)

2 months both times for #2 and #3. #1 was a surprise.

The first months for both 2 & 3 we didn't try very hard. We maybe had sex once or twice. The 2nd month we got more serious.

[janben]

First month we tried with my daughter. My son took longer - 2 months.

[hotpinkmomma0811]

With Cody first try/ with Sophia two months.

[mommabert]

22 long months

[Marquette Fan]

14 months with #1
About a year with #2 although we did IUI and it probably would have been longer without that
15 months with #3 (with failed infertility treatments in there before unexpectedly getting pregnant on my own)

Good luck!

If I remember right, 1 year of NPP and then 18 months of TTC / STC for #1.

And technically, since we were "trying" from the day Maiya was born, it took 22 months to get pregnant again, but that turned in to a miscarriage. Now it's 24 months and we've had a failed IUI, so we're still counting...

(But, my period didn't return until she was 15 months, so even though we were trying and I really wanted it to happen, probably 7 months until the miscarriage and now 9 months of still trying is more accurate.)

[Mynar]

We NPP, it took 9 months, 9 months, 5 months, 13 months, and 11 months.

*oops, forgot to add that there was a m/c and a chemical pregnancy in there so if you add those in then it was 9 months, 6 months, 2 months, 5 months, 12 months, 1 month, and 11 months.

[caligirl07]

#1 2months
#2 1month
#3 1month (ended in miscarriage)
#4 1 month (wasn't really trying because I was terrified of another miscarriage, but wasn't doing anything to prevent either)

[Renee29]

#1 was 1 month
#2 was 15 months

[simistress]

1 month for each. My cycle is like clock work or DH is super potent.

[hopeful1]

DS took 7 months following an ectopic (no tube damage/loss). This pregnancy took 22 months. I was having regular cycles, regular BDing, all signs pointing in the right direction, just took a long time.

[BrandiB]

#1-3 cycles
#2-4 cycles

With Preston I was in metformin from the begining d/t Insulin resistance, after Preston I never went back on it and the first month I started taking it again I got pregnant.

[TripMomma]

Once we figured out that the "old fashioned" way wasn't going to work for us, it took 6 months of IUI's to get the triplets. It took 2 to get Jericho. Good luck!

[tyvek]

1st-a good three years of trying and then three IUI (ended in miscarriage)
2nd-3 months trying
3rd-3 months...surprise!
4th-about 6-9 months of trying.
5th-had decided not to have another about 8 months after C was born and found out I was pregnant a month later (ended in miscarriage)
6th-1 month...technically it was three weeks later after the DNC. A total surprise!

Good luck to you! I can say that only trying after three months should be nothing to worry about. I know it seems like a long time but every professional will say only after a year of trying should the next step be taken. So, there is no need to worry! Fingers are crossed!

[futuresoccermom]

Thank you ladies I am relieved that its normal for it to take a while in some cases! I was so upset when my period started each time... (I even waited so I would potentially have an oct or nov baby thinking those would be nice months to give birth this time around! Silly me thinking it would just happen exactly how I want it to, who do I think I am?!)
Now...I don't care!! I just want to be pregnant!! ..and hope it happens one of these months...

[AmeriBrit]

With my first, we got pregnant the first month of trying. With our second, we got pregnant the second month of trying and that ended up a m/c at 6.5 weeks. Then, I had a chemical pregnancy the following month. And then exactly one month later, I was pregnant again with DS2. So, all in all, it took 4 months b/c of the m/c's.

[Thaby]

1st cycle with both kids.

[xtrememousey]

39 months for cam and then 1 year of npp for our little mr surprise

[Scarlett]

#1 was a surprise baby and #2 took 7 months

[wannabmomof3]

DD1-1st cycle
DS-4th cycle
DD2-4th cycle

[momma_k807]

Pregnancy 1 - first try
DS - first real try, though we were NPP the month before and didn't get pg
Current - Surprise!

I realize we are the minority here though.

[CoffeeCat]

My kids were all conceived the month we decided to try. With my second, we were kind of careless the month before he was conceived and I was hoping to get pregnant (and was very sad that I wasn't), so I don't know if that counts as one or two months trying. I can understand where you're coming from with wondering what's going on. I think after experiencing it being easy to conceive immediately like you did with your first, I would be confused if I thought I was doing everything "right" yet I wasn't getting pregnant. Best of luck to you, and babydust!

[Inca]

With R it took 6 months of trying, then not trying for 6 months, then when we tried again it was the first month. Then with S it was about 6 months I think.

[daynasrose]

With DD - first month we tried.
With DS - I got pregnant the 8th month of TTC.
If I TTC #3 I will not chart or temp like I did when TTC DS. Too stressful and I became obsessive about getting a BFP. Not going to put myself through that.

[MammaMia]

19 months for the first child (conceived on Clomid). Second child was a surprise. Go figure!

[rachoochoo]

I have no idea how many cycles for #1 but it took me 2 years to get pregnant. Got pregnant my first post partum cycle after her (SURPRISE!) which ended in m/c. We were NPP and I got pregnant with Olivia when Ava was 11 months old.
