    I went off the pill four months early to prepare, first cycle trying we had awful timing (Dh away for two weeks), so it was the second cycle where we actually tried and were in the same time zone. Very lucky.

    I went off the pill in June 2012 and bam, KU, sadly that ended in miscarriage. Now that I'm emotionally ready again we are actively trying. I say that because I have PCOS and between the miscarriage Sept-Dec I wasn't ovulating and now we are working with a RE. So technically only a couple of cycles.

    First month having sexy time a lot, but not "trying" as in charting or anything. To me, that's still trying, just not in an organized fashion.

    At age 32.

    Two cycles, then first ended in miscarriage. Wonkiness with cycles ensued after m/c and took 5-6 months after that. Now at 38w6d.

    We started NTNP by January 2012 and were through our move at the end of May. But we worked opposite schedules so literally we had VERY FEW opportunities lol. It kind of transitioned into trying, I know the first cycle I tracked was October, so I guess that's four cycles, the 4th (January) we got pregnant thanks to Metformin! Currently 20 1/2 weeks!

    Got pregnant on the second cycle of TTC. Was charting (probably a little too obsessively) and working with a naturopath.

    4th cycle off BCP/trying

    I stopped BC in December 2011 and we got pregnant in May 2012. But of 6 cycles, the first one I didn't really consider a "cycle" because it was more like withdrawal bleeding, and the second one, I tried to time it correctly but we didn't end up DTD at the right time. Everything was also all over the place because I had recently stopped BC.

    Then in February we put trying on hiatus because I found out that an STD plan was going to become available to me at work effective April. We had previously planned to dig into savings during my maternity leave, but knowing we would have at least part of it paid for if we waited was kind of a no-brainer. The first cycle after the STD plan kicked in we REALLY tried, and we got pregnant.

    I consider us very fortunate and I'm quite grateful.

    10 months. Had an ectopic 5 cycles in, took a few months off to recover, then got pregnant (in the right place) as soon as we started trying again. I was following Taking Charge of Your Fertility so it was pretty hardcore TTC.

    Over a year with our first. It wasn't until we started charting. Our second was a surprise.

    Second cycle of trying, but I had stopped bcp's 10 months prior to getting pregnant. At first we were NTNP then when I realized I wasn't even ovulating we starting seeing a fertility doctor who tested us for months before finally starting us on clomid. The first cycle was cancelled due to hurricane sandy and teh second cycle on a higher dosage worked!
