Hi there! I'm currently cycle #7 of TTC. Seems to me it either take couple of months or it takes quite longer. So i just wanted to hear you out, your stories :) couple of friends got pregnant right away, one took 3 months and one had to go through ivf so I don't really hear much stories in between and am hopeful I will conceive soon. Thank you all for sharing and wish you all the best :)

It took us just over a year first time. We’ve just started trying for no. 2 and I’m really hoping it’ll happen more quickly.

Spending months tracking your cycle, living extra healthy, DTD out of necessity rather than for fun etc., it’s hard going, and each month when your period arrives your heart breaks a little.

It can be really hard when other people seem to conceive so easily, but it’s very normal for it to take a good few months.

Did the pull out method for 5 years, no pregnancies, didn't pull out one time and concieved. We were young and stupid back then so had a termination.
My son was concieved unplanned but we wasn't preventing pregnancy for about 6 months before falling pregnant.
Last year I removed my coil in march and concieved late October/early November, unfortunately ended in a 14 weeks MMC this January and been TTC since. They've always been happy with my womb, ovaries, cervix, hormones etc no issues. Partner hasn't been tested but I'm assuming he's fairly ok, just seems to be almost random with us whether or not I fall pregnant and usually when I'm not trying 😅

First cycle with all 3, though it took 3 months for my cycle to return when I came off the pill once so technically I suppose 3 months for that one?

Hi @dormicumema I was straightaway with my first. I got pregnant again first cycle trying for my second but it was a chemical and I am now on to cycle 6 . Do you have regular periods/ track ovulation? Wishing you lots of luck with your journey :)
