    With C, it took 11 cycles, with baby #2 it took 9 cycles. It's definitely not a fast thing for us.

    One "try." But I was just turning 22 and my mom got pregnant first try both times and her mom had something like five under six, so I feel like I had biology on my side!!

    I suppose I should say... I don't know a ton about biology. LOL

    3 cycles, miscarriage, then 5 more cycles for our sticky baby. I have long cycles, so the whole process took 13 months.

    Hmm, technically it took 4 cycles over 6 months. But they were medicated, working along with an RE. I kind of don't count the other ones, since I never ovulated after coming off BC. The whole process took about 10 months, but with PCOS I'm not a typical case :).

    1st pregnancy- 1st cycle (MC @9 wks). 2nd pregnancy- 2nd cycle (MC @5wks). This pregnancy (due in Jan)- 7th cycle! I was definitely starting to feel like wtf is taking so long after it happened so quickly the other times!!

    Took me only two cycles of trying with my BFPs but both ended in MCs at 7-8 weeks. Currently on cycle #2 of TTC and hoping we get lucky with a (sticky) BFP this time!

    It's been 10 months and 8 cycles for us. Cycle 7 was a chemical pregnancy so this is the first cycle since then.

    9 cycles with our first, then too many to count w/LO2 (we eventually needed IUI).

    First was a gigantic surprise. Second was close to a year of actively trying {and nearly giving up}.

    On cycle 11 and no luck yet.
    ETA: cycle 11 in almost 11 months. I ovulated every cycle.

    Just one cycle of actively trying, but I had been charting for 3 years and used OPKs the 2 months prior to confirm ovulation.

    I also saw an acupuncturist to confirm and strengthen my ovulation. I was 34 when I conceived.

    Third cycle for us. DS was conceived on or around Nov 1st last year and he'll be 3 months Nov 1st of this year! My boy seems to know a thing or two about timing!
