The second round of clomid at 50mg worked. His semen analysis was perfect - really strong numbers but I didn't ovulate on my own due to atypical non hormonal PCOS. I ovulated on both rounds of clomid but the second one worked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-anyone-who-was-ttc-for-over-6-months-how-long-did-it-eventually-take-to-get-pregnant/page/2#post-2448212 Wed, 03 Feb 2016 19:15:30 +0000 skipra 2448212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For LO1 it took just under a full year and I had one early mc prior to my bfp. We started TTC when I stopped bcp and it took several months to start ovulating regularly and then a few months after that to conceive. I'm pretty sure it was the bcp that really screwed with my system because I got pregnant first opportunity with #2 and currently #3 and an oopsie which turned into a cp in between those 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-anyone-who-was-ttc-for-over-6-months-how-long-did-it-eventually-take-to-get-pregnant/page/2#post-2448203 Wed, 03 Feb 2016 19:04:32 +0000 RKitty 2448203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were to TTC for over a year-ish. Made an appointment with a fertility specialist. I got my BFP the 3 months after our first appointment, and right before I had my appointment to review all our test results and to schedule the more invasive tests. (we had misunderstanding and an vacation that delayed some tests and results so it took 3 months to progress farther with our specialist)</p> <p>The only thing that changed during the end was we started using an ovulation kit, but my husband and I are rather active in the bedroom so there's no way in over a year we just never timed it exactly right. (And we'd try around the right time anyways just nothing stuck.) The only other thing we changed up was from using an baby making safe lube to just coconut oil. So that shouldn't have made a difference either!</p> <p>I did go to my follow up appointment and the doc said in both of our results everything came back perfect so there was no clear reason for our infertility. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-anyone-who-was-ttc-for-over-6-months-how-long-did-it-eventually-take-to-get-pregnant/page/2#post-2447854 Wed, 03 Feb 2016 14:27:19 +0000 stiletto_mom 2447854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was around 20, I got pregnant twice by mistake. I'm fairly certain it only took about 2 or 3 cycles of him not pulling out to get me pregnant.</p> <p>Now that I'm 30, it took us 15 months / 14 cycles to conceived. And we were TRYING.</p> <p>We're both perfectly healthy, all tests (blood, semen, ultrasound) came back normal. But I have irregular periods. The only thing I did differently this cycle we conceived, was STOP exercising completely. I was doing 3 days of HIIT since 2014. I stopped December 2015, and pregnant January 2016.</p> <p>We also used less lubricant. Cut down Pre-Seed to only about 50% of our BD sessions. Focused on natural lubrication, foreplay and just being happy to be intimate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-anyone-who-was-ttc-for-over-6-months-how-long-did-it-eventually-take-to-get-pregnant#post-2326343 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 19:11:35 +0000 dc yoga bee 2326343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12 months of actively trying, and I got pregnant the month we started fertility testing, and the cycle I had a HSG. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-anyone-who-was-ttc-for-over-6-months-how-long-did-it-eventually-take-to-get-pregnant#post-2326169 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 17:07:59 +0000 pinkcupcake 2326169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo took only 4 months...

LO#1 was conceived in the first month. For LO#2, this is our 10th cycle of trying with a miscarriage at a 7 weeks from that 5th cycle. We foolishly assumed that the second one would be that easy and the first one really skewed my perception of what is a normal time for this process to take. Reading these responses is really helping give me perspective (&amp; hope). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-anyone-who-was-ttc-for-over-6-months-how-long-did-it-eventually-take-to-get-pregnant#post-2298848 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 00:51:27 +0000 BSB 2298848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Three years for LO 1 &amp; 2 but started IUIs at the one year mark and around 2.5 years started IVF. </p> <p>As much as I wanted a pregnancy without intervention, my 6 failed IUIs told me that it wasn't happening for us.<br /> Having our IVF twins in our arms makes me sorta forget our long journey.

We did try different things with the support of an acupuncturist, such as herbal medicine, diet change, and yoga for fertility.

When we started TTC for LO2, we got BFP on first cycle trying. Unfortunately that ended in a missed MC, so we are back on TTC wagon so praying it doesn't take too long after this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-anyone-who-was-ttc-for-over-6-months-how-long-did-it-eventually-take-to-get-pregnant#post-2298804 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 22:21:53 +0000 Grace 2298804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12 months, no interventions, no abnormal test results and no miscarriages.

This time I got pregnant on the first try, much to our surprise!</p> <p>Eta: when I had my blood work up during my pregnancy with my daughter I discovered I was severely vitamin d deficient. I've been taking a supplement since then, and have learned that vit d deficiency can cause fertility problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-anyone-who-was-ttc-for-over-6-months-how-long-did-it-eventually-take-to-get-pregnant#post-2298690 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 18:42:42 +0000 Mrs. Peanut 2298690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only had one unsuccessful cycle so far (no sticky baby yet), but one of my very good friends tried for a while.
