Hello
My husband and I are now trying to conceive. We did not get pregnant the 1st month. We are now on our 2nd month of trying. Two of my friends both got pregnant on the 1st try last month (I had no clue they were even going to try). I know that it's ok that I did not conceive on the 1st month of trying...but I did feel a little sad that TWO of my friends did it and I could not. I also know it could take up to a year!
I was wondering how long it took for others on this forum to get pregnant.

well, for me the first time it took 3 months and then i miscarried, second try took a bit longer...about 14 months and then i miscarried again. third try took 6 months, had no problems and had healthy twin girls!! getting pregnant can be a huge emotional roller coaster...not to mention the actual pregnancy and birth. i will say one thing though...even though i was trying to get pregnant it happened when i least expected it. my advice is to relax most of all, try not to obsess about it too much and focus on getting yourself ready for pregnancy...taking vitamins, eating right, etc. it will happen when the time is right!!

I had my IUD removed on Nov the 9th 2007. My spouse and I tried off an on for 10 days. I am current about 10 weeks pregnant.

My husband and I have 3 kids and will be trying for a 4th soon! The first one was a BIG surprise so we weren't trying at all. The second took about 6 months and the 3rd only took a couple of months. It's hard not to be so excited and anxious. I was always getting pregnancy tests and watching the calendar. I really believe that when you are ready for your next child God will make it happen!!!

Conception is an amazing thing! And for many couples it does not take a long time at all - but I don't want you to think that it always just happens for everyone either. My husband and I tried for six years before we got pregnant with our daughter (ironically without assistance - although we had seen specialists without success). We did conceive again when our daughter was about 10 months old, but miscarried at about 10 weeks. We haven't prevented pregnancy, but finally were recommended to another specialist, who gave me a diagnosis and enabled us to conceive again. I am currently 22 weeks pregnant with our son If you would like a really good resource - the best book I've found when it comes to reproductions and conception is called "Taking Charge of Your Fertility". It is well written and easy to read, but very informative. Good Luck!

My hubby and I were not sure that we could get pregnant. We tried for a few months and it just didn't happen. Then in April of last year I became ill and was hospitalized. We decided we would put getting pregnant on hold. We just went about life naturally. Then in August of 2007 I took a Pregnancy test because I felt differently and here we were pregnant. So in all from the time were married until the time we got pregnant, it was about 7 months. (Anytime you don't use protection, you are "trying" to get pregant, so thats why I say it took that long, because even tho our mindset was not "we're trying" we weren't preventing either) We are due to have our first child in April of this year!

I would say relax and just don't prevent and enjoy yourself!
Best of Wishes to you and lots of baby dust!

It can take a long time. I'm 9 weeks pregnant myself and this pregnancy came as a big surprise considering the fact that I concieved on Birth Control. On top of that I was married for four years without any pregnancies at all, that marriage ended in divorce. My fiance and I werent planning on marrying anytime soon, but with a baby on the way we are moving things up. I am now 26 years old, and I'm due the month of my birthday which is September. I'm not sure for the reasons on why I couldnt get pregnant in my marriage, but I do know that for a long time I thought I was broken. I literally had myself thinking I could never have children. However...surprise!!! I'm just hoping for a healthy and successful pregnancy, and a healthy baby. Good Luck to you!

Seven months with the first one, two with the second. I read an article in Reader's Digest before getting pregnant with the second one (22 years ago) that helped us. It said the best time to conceive is to start the 10th day after your menstrual cycle starts, then have sex every other day instead of every day, for about a week. The waiting every other day ensures fresh sperm. If you do it too often the sperm at too immature, if not often enough they are dead. Anyway it worked for us.
