My first Pregnancy it took a year and a half. 2nd pregnancy was by accident but counting the months we had unprotected sex it was 7 months.... I'm at 12 months TTC now with needed help from a Specialist. Good Luck in the baby making process!

I took us 13 years to conceive our first child. After years of trying, 3 failed IVFs, and 1 failed GIFT, we finally succeeded with ZIFT. After 6 miscarriages in the last 10 years we now have a total of 4 children, 3 of them conceived naturally (it took between 9 months and a year each time). Best wishes and the Lord's blessings.

Thank you Phillips and HzlGreenEyes for your input. Good luck to you too HzlGreenEyes and Phillips, your story is special and I am so happy to hear that you have 4 healthy children :)

I have been pregnant four times

2009 - a week and that wasn't trying that ended up in a mc at 9 weeks.
2011 (years we fell pregnant) - we tried for a year and half and have a healthy 2 year old
2014 - Last month took us 2 years and ended up in a mc
2014 - this month we didn't try at all was waiting for my period to arrive so we could try again but never showed up and now 4 weeks pregnant

Hopefully fingers crossed for you all, just have fun and don't think about it. Stress can cause delay! Good luck! x

I have been ttc for 1 year with no success yet. Im 26

My first was a surprise. We weren't careful one time (it was out wedding anniv) and I conceived our oldest daughter. She just turned 3. I was 33 at the time.

Our second was planned. She was conceived on the second cycle of trying and is 3.5 mos old now. I was almost 36 at the time.

My best advice is to not stress! Enjoy the baby making process! The odds are in your favor! It can take up to a year (or more) to conceive, even if everyone is perfectly healthy! Just make sure you know when your fertile window is and have regular sex. If after a year, or 6 mos if you're 35+, consult your dr! GL!

my first we got pregnant within 3 cycles I was 22. My second took 8 months and I was 24, we are currently on our first month TTC our third and I'm now 27. :) I was surprised with how long it took to conceive our second so I researched and was told to follow the Sperm Meets Egg Plan, but it says its only recommended for women who've been pregnant before. Not sure why... it worked like a charm though and got pregnant the first month I tried it. Guess it wouldn't hurt to look it up.. you never know, could work regardless if you've been pregnant before or not. :p

I'm going on 4 months now/ 6 cycles. I'm finally giving in and going to try bbt charting and see how that works out. Hubby is only hone 2 days a week though so that makes things a little more difficult.

It took us 5 cycles to conceive. Last pregnancy it took one time as we weren't trying and had unprotected sex once and the next month I didn't get my period. I was charting BBT this cycle and made sure we DTD around my fertile window, and I got lots of exercise this cycle and got outdoors a lot and tried to stay stress free and I think it really helped!! I am now 6 weeks 1 day pregnant!!

It took us about 15 months of "trying" to get pregnant. When I finally let go and didn't try it was maybe 2 or 3 cycles after that. Good luck!!
