How many months did it take you?

I'm starting to get anxious and was wondering how long did you all try to get pregnant before you finally did...also were you charting or just having sex...did you know when you ovulated.

It took us 9 months w/my DD...I had very irregular cycles too 32-48 days...We just started BDing every other day for a month and I tracked my temp, cm, and OPK, on FF...after doing all that we got PG the first month.

My Doctor said if you're having Sex every day...the Sperm isn't as strong. So maybe you're BD-ing too much and the Sperm isn't as Fertile or Strong or something...that could be why ?
I would just start over today....have Sex and than try it every other night for a couple months, I betcha that'll do the trick!

well we are actually doing both....we are having sex everyother day(sometimes everyday) and BBT charting and I try to check my CM although it is sometimes very misleading.

Just do the BD every other day!! How fun for you both! Sometimes it's so difficult to Chart and keep track of Ovulation and your Period...so just have Sex! I would kinda keep track of that all, but when I ended up getting Pregnant I wasn't tracking it at all, it just happened because we were having Sex every other day pretty much. You're bound to hit the O that way! Unless you're not Ovulating...that could be the only problem and if that's the case you need to see your Doctor. But try  just doing that for the next few months...it's the ol fashioned way! hehe Good Luck!

3 months for me! 1st n 2nd did not really do it correctly (i think i BD'ing at the very endof ovulation ) so the 3rd month i BD'ed3-4 days prior to ovulation and it took it!

i never chart but just roughly estimate my ovulation based on my CM.

well that's the thing...my period can be anywhere from 35-65 days and I have no clue when i ovulate...also my CM is usually very confusing.  I'm really not stressing over getting preggers but very anxious to have a "normal" cycle.  I am BBT charting and if I can just see that i have ovulated that would make me feel much better b/c I worry that I may not be at all.  I just wish I could have a 28 day cycle...that would be awsome..  :)

Funny how those who either shouldn't be getting pregnant or don't try and don't want to be, have no problems....and look at what we go thru!  LOL!  I've spent my non-existant baby's college fund on OPT's and HPT's......HAHA (kidding)

thats' the trick rachie.... STOP TRYING!!! Just mark your periods, and figure out ovulation..... it took me 1 month....... When I finally stopped stressing over it and stopped trying I got pregnant... I'm tellin ya, it works!!!! Just check your CM and start havin lots of sex!!!!! *LOL*

it took me 8 months...i had a cyst for awhile that was growing and the doc said its still possible to get preg with a cyst but it can be more difficult...funny the doc did a follow up u/s in november and discovered the cyst was finally gone and dec i became preg


i began using charts for about 3 months to figure out my o date and the first cycle i started charting my temps is the cycle i got preg.

good luck

It took us 2 months...we were just having sex every other day. I didn't know when I was Ovulating...we just figured BDing every other day would do the trick and it did! Unfortunately ended in a m/c....but if I end up Pregnnat this month it would have been 2 months of trying again...

It took us 7 months to conceive (ended in a missed m/c though)....we're trying again starting this month....I don't test CM or anything....Use OPT's and keep close track of periods...I'm hoping it happens soon (again)....I'm OLD!  LOL!
