Hi Oxy - it took me 7 years with DD and trialing clomid and ovarian drilling, the next three pregnancies was around the 2 to 3 cycles.
I hope you don't have too much longer to wait.

Currently on our 3rd attempt and been trying for 4 months. Took 3 months for 1st pregnancy (m/c in Sep 08) had to wait 3 months to try again (doctors orders) and then it only took 1 month for 2nd pregnancy (m/c in Mar 09).

Hi Oxy, I have been casually trying to fall pregnant for around 14 years thinking that it will happen when it happens. Even when I was going for tests through the GP from the age of 37 and going through IVF I was not aware of the whole process of falling pregnant.
Its only now at 41, that I am actively focussed and learning as much as I can about ttc and what I can do to try and overcome my infertility and I know that my time is running out fast! My one consolation is that my Gran had her last child at 43 and I am hoping that I might get lucky before then.
Have you had any blood tests for your hormone levels so that you know what you can work with?

I got pregnant with Hannah on my 18th cycle.
*eta: It can't hurt to talk to your GP.
It may be something really simple that can be done to help (eg: taking vitex or something else to regulate your cycle).

We've been trying for 2 and a half years.
One MC in that time. Charting for about 12 of those months. Lap and dye about a year ago. Told wouldn't have kids without IVF due to my endo but am determined to prove the docs very very wrong and not keen on IVF either. So we seeing a kinesiologist and I've been using NLP to stay positive.

Hi Konagirl, I also have the same determination to conceive naturally! Merely because I can't afford to do IVF

We have a beautiful 5yr old who came along unexpectedly.
We started trying for No. 2 about 4yrs ago now. Last june I had an ectopic, treated without surgery. As soon as we were allowed we got a BFP again but MC at 8 wks. I also had a early MC in Jan 09. I have now 2 wks ago been diagnosed with a prolapsed uterus finally after 1st heading to dr 3 yrs ago thinking something was wrong. We are finally heading to Fertility Associates in 4 wks.

Gosh some of you ladies have really had a long and arduous (sp?) journey, the reward is worth it though. I hope you are all on the home stretch now!!
TTC number one, came off pill end of Oct 08, pregnant February miscarried around 5 weeks, pregnant again July miscarried around 6 weeks. Off to specialist in early Aug to make sure there is nothing wrong before getting pregnant again.

We tried for 11 months with Jake. I didnt ovulate for the first 6 monyhs, then we conceived but had a miscarriage at 8 weeks, 9 weeks later we conceived Jake.
I thought ours was a long journey but reading how long it has/is taking some of you makes me realise it wasnt so bad.
Baby dust to you all!

We decided to go off the pill in April and fell PG before AF arrived (were going to start trying the next cycle!) but MC at 6 and a half weeks, AF has just arrived (first one after MC) but now I get to have surgery on my knee and cant be PG, so even though I am still waiting for a date the Dr said it should be mid August so hoping to only miss one cycle of TTC.
So cycle wise I am up to this being my 1st (kinda?) But months 3ish?
Wow it is amazing (not sure if that is the right word?) at how many MC we have...
I hope you all dont have much longer to wait

I started trying in August 2008. Fell PG second cycle but miscarried at 11 1/2 weeks. Not a bite since then. This is my 5th cycle of trying since my MC. I'm gonna go for help if the 6th doesn't work.
