While I never saw a BFP, I had a very long cycle in March with many symptoms that led my dr to believe it was a chemical pregnancy. Hard to tell, though, because I wasn't (yet) obsessively peeing on sticks. I think it might be easier this way, not knowing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-pregnant/page/2#post-16060 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 16:00:06 +0000 erinpye 16060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Took us almost 8 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-pregnant/page/2#post-16040 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 15:31:21 +0000 Pipers Mommy 16040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got pregnant the first month we tried. Definitely Blessed! Hope that happens again when we try for Baby Deux in the spring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-pregnant/page/2#post-16032 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 15:22:21 +0000 pelikila 16032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took us 10 cycles. Nine of those cycles with temp charting and 5 of those cycles with the addition of a CBEFM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-pregnant/page/2#post-6064 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 20:03:13 +0000 BSB 6064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just started TTC and I'm really worried about having trouble. My husband needs to be on medication for his asthma. OB says that the drugs he takes may or may not affect his fertility. Thanks, Doc! Guess I'll just have to wait and see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-pregnant/page/2#post-6059 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 19:15:43 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 6059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I are TTC our first. We are in our 6th cycle now. I started charting 4 cycles ago, but I feel like this is the first time I've really gotten it. So I'm hoping it won't take too much longer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-pregnant/page/2#post-5678 Fri, 21 Oct 2011 19:36:05 +0000 sunny-day73 5678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were very fortunate. I got pregnant the 2nd month after stopping birth control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-pregnant/page/2#post-5669 Fri, 21 Oct 2011 15:57:51 +0000 Kkuru 5669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are in our 6th month of trying. I'd been on the pilll for 10+ years until March and I'm 32. I've been to my nurse midwife last month and this month because I was getting nervous. She actually thinks that I had a chemical pregnancy last month bc of when I ovulated and then I was a week late. She thinks my body is still getting back to normal and this month looks good (I'd been ovulating super early). So far, Taking Charge of Your Fertility, charting, and my CBE OPK is helping me stay confident that it'll happen. Some days it's really hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-pregnant/page/2#post-5301 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 17:15:43 +0000 katdevargas 5301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went off of my bc in aug 10, but we weren't actively "trying" - no charting or anything like that {I honestly have no idea how long my cycle even is? when are you supposed to start counting?} - just not preventing. I got pregnant in late may 11 &amp; am due late feb/early march 12. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-pregnant/page/2#post-4957 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 16:38:28 +0000 bakingAbug 4957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was very blessed and ended up pregnant the first month we actually tried to get pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-pregnant/page/2#post-4935 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 15:24:28 +0000 reggie 4935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got pregnant right away...

The first two months I would think about it 24.7 and the month that I actually just felt blah about it - it happened! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-pregnant/page/2#post-4878 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 12:30:00 +0000 hreichard 4878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well i have PCOS and it took almost 3 years for my sons father &amp; I do get pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-pregnant/page/2#post-2588 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 12:03:56 +0000 littleveesmommy 2588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had gone off BC before our wedding in September 2010 and just had the "if it happens, it happens" mentality. We had planned on actively trying at the end of 2011, but found out I was pregnant in May 2011! I am 24 weeks pregnant with a little girl and am super excited to meet her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-pregnant/page/2#post-2559 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 00:45:08 +0000 ALittleP 2559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first time, I got pregnant four months after going off hormonal birth control - it ended with an early loss. We have yet to get pregnant again. I'm testing for autoimmune issues and am facing early diminished ovarian reserve. We've been TTC for 12 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-pregnant/page/2#post-2122 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 23:32:36 +0000 MamaDreams 2122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got pregnant my very first cycle we started trying... I had been charting for about 4 months prior to TTC. Unfortunately, I miscarried at 10 weeks.</p> <p>We are back to trying-- haven't had luck these last two cycles. </p> <p>We are on MONTH 8. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-pregnant/page/2#post-2045 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 14:14:39 +0000 Kasia 2045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had "The Baby Talk" and I'm pretty sure I laid an egg on the spot.

I had been charting for 3 years before that, and was pretty certain when I was ovulating. I was convinced we would have trouble, I was 35 when I gave birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-pregnant#post-1933 Sat, 01 Oct 2011 10:59:05 +0000 geekinheels 1933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first time (a miscarriage) it took us completely by surprise.</p> <p>The second time (Claire) it took us 3 months.</p> <p>The third time (BebeDeux) was a surprise too — only 3 months after giving birth to Claire! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-pregnant#post-1921 Sat, 01 Oct 2011 09:03:57 +0000 lavender 1921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took 7 cycles of NTNT. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-pregnant#post-1910 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 23:43:15 +0000 Running Elley 1910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got pregnant our first cycle trying but that pregnancy unfortunately ended in MC about 6 weeks in. We're on our second cycle of trying since the MC now so we'll see how long it takes before we have a sticky one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-pregnant#post-1889 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 21:46:49 +0000 BabyBruins 1889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started trying about 8 months after getting married because I was already in my 30s and we want to have a few kids. We got pregnant in our second month which was the first month I was charting correctly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-pregnant#post-1854 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 16:42:50 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>14 months and counting. Cycle 13 was my first BFP which is slightly comforting, but it was a chemical pregnancy (lasted 4 1/2 days). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-pregnant#post-1585 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 12:02:16 +0000 Mrs McK 1585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started trying right after our wedding last October. We had a chemical pregnancy in March, and a full-on miscarriage last month (month 10 of TTC). Waiting for my period to start up so we can start trying again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-pregnant#post-1503 Wed, 28 Sep 2011 20:44:41 +0000 McCashew 1503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After being diagnosed PCOS, we were shocked to get lucky in the first month of trying with my daughter. My son was nearly a year of trying, with metformin, and yogi fertility tea... While we kept creeping ever closer to my sister in law's amazing wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-get-pregnant#post-1497 Wed, 28 Sep 2011 19:55:43 +0000 anewme 1497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was diagnosed 2 months after getting married that I had a retroverted uterus. I knew it would be slightly harder but still opted to wait awhile before trying. 2 years after getting married wesaturated with 5 months of "not preventing". Went to my ob, she wanted us to continue to try naturally but she also dx me with PCOS. Then 7 months of actively trying with charting and basal body temps, finally got pregnant on my first cycle of clomid. My little girl is now 6 months and we will probably try soon again for #2 because we don't know how long this journey will take. </p>
