Have fun, nothing changed for us except I came off the pill. I did start folic acid straight away and carried on even after the mc. Position wise our fave was doggie and I hear a lot of couples use that to get pregnant.

1 year. Went off birth control in July 2010, was diagnosed with PCOS in April 2011 and started getting treated, conceived in July 2011. So I guess 3 months of trying with possibility of results, but I was taking fertility meds and timing intercourse with my BBT. Good luck!

First pregnancy took 10 months. Second was my first cycle that returned after my son...sadly ended in miscarriage. Trying again now. It's been two months since the miscarriage.

Good luck to you! I would say...put away the tests until you feel pregnant or are late. They can kind of drive you nuts. I just vowed to not buy any till I was pretty sure I was pregnant again. Take care of yourself and get exercise. Best wishes.

3 years with our first, 1 year with our second (while nursing our first), 10 months with our third (a month after our 2nd lost interest in nursing), 6 months after our third passed away from accident at full term birth. In June we will have  kids age 5,3,1 and newborn. There is something to be said about it being more easy to get pregnant after having one!

First time I got pregnant while on the pill, we were not trying-just got really lucky.
Second time around ended with a M/C and having a D/C. Waited for one cycle and got pregnant 2 months later, I am now 38 weeks!
the only thing that I did was keep track of my periods so I could figure out how long my cycles were and trying to have sex starting 10 days after the first day of my period. Since on average you ovulate around day 14.

17 +3 and it took us about 2 1/2 years. The first year we weren't using protection and if it happened it happened but after we got married we started trying a little harder.

Thank you for all of your replies! Fingers crossed its this cycle. My AF is due 4th of April. i havnt brought any tests this cycle im going to wait until im late to test. I went to the doctors yesterday can an underactive thyroid affect the chances of getting pregnant?
