But, after my fertile period in January, the times my husband will be home for the next couple months isn't expected to line up perfectly, so it'll be a shot in the dark for us for the next year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cycles-did-it-take-before-you-got-a-bfp/page/2#post-2403571 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 18:21:52 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2403571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 cycles for DD </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cycles-did-it-take-before-you-got-a-bfp/page/2#post-2403414 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 16:26:21 +0000 yin 2403414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1 was NTNP, and LO2 was conceived on the first try. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cycles-did-it-take-before-you-got-a-bfp/page/2#post-2403401 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 16:13:09 +0000 LuLu Mom 2403401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1: first time (like literally the first time not using protection)<br /> LO2: 2nd month </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cycles-did-it-take-before-you-got-a-bfp/page/2#post-2403382 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 15:59:07 +0000 Smurfette 2403382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Third cycle.
