well you aren't being silly if it makes you feel bad, but no it isn't very long. in fact it isn't even three months yet.

some people have indeed been trying a lot longer! years. and. years.

If it takes you 3, 6, 9 or even 12 months ttc your lucky.. the avarage is about a year i think so it takes lot longer for a lot of people..

It took me 3 months the first time, 2 years almost for the second which i miscarried and 6 months for this one.

3 months is nothing

( although i know it feels like years ! )

Good luck

OracleInaCoracle · 08/08/2008 12:25

it took me 3y (6 if you count the reckless years) ttc ds and this time i am coming up to my 3rd year ttc. i appreciate that you are impatient and feeling a bit fed up, but sriously, 3m is no time at all. have you stopped the pill? because your body can take a while to reorganise itself.

6+3, terrified !

As others have said 3mth is nothing.

It took 2yrs ttc to get dd1 (4.6yrs) then 18mths to fall pg which ended in a miscarriage then another 18mths ttc to get dd2(11mth).

We were not having anymore and dh was supposed to go see the doctor, but it to late and appantly i am at least 10weeks pg after just one moment in the last 6mths .

mustsleep · 08/08/2008 13:48

i wouldn;t worry yet 3 months is not that long and being stressed won;t help either

i fell pregnant with ds by accident whilst using condoms and the pill

then we tried for a year and i finally fell pregnany but had a miscarriage

it then took a year to conceive dd just as i was beginning to think we should get checked out

then this time we thougt we would try well in advance as it had taken so long previoulsy and i fell on after a month
