For me, I didnt really worry too much about how fast it happened for siblings/friends, my comparison that was tough to swallow was my first pregnancy. We had planned to ttc our son once I was finished that cycle of my birth control. We did a lot of research and figured we were looking at a good 6+ months for my cycles to return to normal and us to have a shot at a baby. Not so much, I got preg while on bc...didnt miss any or take at diff times, total shock! So, fast forward 14yrs (yeah, huge gap lol), no bc or fertility issues, it should be a breeze, right? Not so much...18 months it took us. U name it and I took/did it. I watched ladies who couldnt even figure out when they ovulate, get preg, while I could tell u every detail of my cycle backwards and not a single positive test. Its just one of those things that u can only control so much. U can set up egg n sperm to meet, hope they fertilize, but u cant make it implant. And that is what sucks the most!!

i actually gave up once, though right no kids for me - I'm going to travel the world, started saving, then after years of completely ignoring ttc ended up pregnant. So much for getting to South America, lol

It took us 13 years to conceive our first child and we started trying when I was 24 and my husband 28 years old. My brother an his wife literally conceived with their first attempt 2 months after they got married. These were some difficult and lonely years filled with questions, doctor's visits, and longing. In the end we made the best of it, tried what we could afford and ignored everything else. Conceiving is in nobody's hands. It often takes time and patience, but it is a great opportunity for personal growth. I hope you will become successful soon. The very best wishes and the Lord's blessings.

I mainly try to think about other things to focus on when i get upset about no being able to get pregnant, We have been trying for 2 1/2 years now with one miscarriage a year ago. The doctors don't know what the problem is. The rest of my siblings conceive just fine my sister even has twins. I just keep praying each month is our month

Thank you so much ladies! I appreciate your words and feedback. One day at a time and trusting in His timing!!

I haven't really started to worry yet with TTC since I just stopped taking BC in July. I figure it will take a few months to regulate my body back to what is normal. I'm 33 yrs old and my husband is 37 - we would love to convieve this year if it's the Lord's will. My heart goes out to all you ladies who have been TTC for what seems like so long and nothing happens **BABY DUST**
