Hey all, just wondering how many cycles it took people to get pregnant with their first?

I'm only cycle #2 at the moment so no urgency on my part, just wondering :)

It took us over 4 years, I don't know exactly how many cycles as my periods were all over the place! We have now got our beautiful little 11 month old boy and he was most definitely worth the wait! Good luck Smile

Mine was accidently the one time condoms weren't used and the 'pull out' strategy was used. Sitting here at 33weeks pregnant from the one time contraception wasn't used.
