Now that we are tracking using Fertility Friend, I am super, duper excited about DTD this cycle. I am on my first cycle and would be beyond stoked if this is the first and only cycle necessary for a BFP.
Did you become pregnant on your first cycle?

It was 3rd cycle for us, but we lost our baby at 20 weeks. Then, it took us 8 more cycles to get pregnant again. We are currently 8 wks pregnant.

I am just starting my 3rd cycle, so obviously no. I think it is great to be really excited (and I'm excited for you!) But try not to get your hopes too high so you're not overly disappointed if it doesn't happen immediately! Good luck!!

I was off BC for about 5 months before we started trying. The first month didn't work, but I was out of town during O week so didn't really put much faith in it! Even though I didn't expect a BFP, I was still sad to see the BFN. It's like I had psyched myself out so much that just doing it once without protection would result in a baby (even though I knew that wasn't true, my subconscious had been told that for so many years while preventing!)
The second cycle was our lucky month and I feel very grateful that it happened so quickly, especially since by then I had read about all the things that need to go right in order for the embryo to implant. I had almost convinced myself it would be a long stretch.

Whew. I was nervous to click on the poll to see the results. Even though I know the odds are lower that it will happen first cycle, it seems so many of my friends had this happen for them.
We're gearing up for cycle 6.

Yes but it ended in a miscarriage. Then we got pregnant again on our second cycle trying afterwards! Feel pretty fortunate

1st try - then we miscarried. Then it only took 2 cycles after that to get another BFP (I'm currently 20 weeks). We were so lucky. Good luck to you and your OH!

The first cycle we were open to it, DH had a 2 week long business trip in the middle of my cycle, so I don't even count that. We had one cycle of actively trying and timing it right with BFN and got our BFP on the second cycle of active trying/good timing. I feel incredibly lucky for that. I'm 20 weeks right now.
It's fun to be excited for the first cycle, just try not to get your hopes TOO high up. Good luck!

Third for us, but we miscarried. It took 7 months to get pregnant again.

We were lucky on the first try, which was surprising to both of us because we'd watched family members struggle for years. We are very thankful!

2nd cycle, but mc a year later and still nothing. I love using FF but be careful bc it sure can make you crazy! (Comparing charts, etc.) Good luck, hope you don't have to use it very long!

I am so sorry for all of you who had a MC...I had no idea they were that common. Hugs to you all.
It was the 2nd cycle, but the first month we didn't use protection I had stopped using it about the day I ovulated or the day after, so I knew I missed the chance for the most part.
