Me and hubby have been "trying" for a baby for a year now and unfortunately still no luck. Admittedly we were not particularly focused (!) at the beginning but now we are fully temping and opking and still bfn.
my logical side knows that this doesn't necessarily mean there is something wrong. I've just turned thirty so that will reduce our chances per cycle too.

I guess I just wanted a quick straw poll of mumsnetters to see what the average is for people. So...... How long did it take for you?

18 months ttc#1 still waiting for that elusive bfp. I was on cerazette not sure if that's had an impact. We're now looking at a ?pcos diagnosis for me and DH.needs to repeat his sperm sample as his swimmers weren't going in straight lines. Could explain a few things!

DC1 12 months
DC2 1 month
DC3 2 years

Don't know why dc2 was so keen.
