2.5 years although I have 2 older ones (22 and 3.5). It's tough isn't it. People don't really have a clue unless they've experienced it I think. I know I didn't before!
Good luck.

Good luck to you too 
its really hard to find people who understand how you feel... my husband is an only child and only grandchild I feel a lot of pressure from his family to give yh a baby :( I wish I could but his mother calls once a month to ask I know she just cares nut I honestly wish she would stop... it hurts

We have been trying for nearly two years and I know what you mean when you say it is really hard to find people who understand how you feel. And your mother in law calling would really add pressure. Have you or your partner been given any infertility diagnosis or are you getting any fertility medical assistance? I am getting ready to undergo my third round of IVF - round one and two were dismal failures so I am anxiously hoping my new protocol and the supplements I have been taking will give me improved results.

My hubby and I have also been trying for 3 years hoping something changes soon. Unfortunately I just lost my job so we may stop trying for a bit

We have a ds age 7 and have been trying for 2 and half years. I have pcos. It's so difficult seeing that gap getting bigger and bigger.

56 months - sounds better than nearly 5 years 
Not even a sniff of a BFP! Had all the tests - unexplained. We can't afford private treatment and not eligible for NHS as DH has a child from previous relationship.
Oh and I'm 40.

Getting on for 3 years. We're on cycle 34 and our 3rd IVF. We're also unexplained.
