Anyone pregnant naturally after TTC 18 months or more??

[donna-c-86]

Thanks for all the inspiration! donna c-is the ONLY thing you did different after all that time is take soy? How much/how often? I started soy last cycle, 2-7, 120mg....nothing and tried this cycle too 307, 200mg. we'll see!

Congrats on all your bfps! so happy for you all!

We also charted for the 1st time too! I did opks until my bbt showed i had ovulated and dtd everyday when opks were v.dark. I used 120mg days 3-7 (5days) Hope u get ur BFP soon! x

Funnily enough, I feel pregnant after starting my husband's (he is a PTI) (OMG) fitness regime... maybe there is something in the fitness thing???

We had been TTC for 7 years nothing so gave up hope really. Then out of the blue a BFP a month after our 11 year wedding anniversary Only thing I did different was exercising loads, everyday at gym, running etc.... felt really healthy - that might not have made a difference to fertility but it made me feel great

Hi,

It took me 3 years before I fell and that one ended in miscarriage at 6wks. 4 months later I fell again but lost at 7wks.

I split with my husband since then and have now got a new partner. Its taken us 8 months to conceive this time. I am currently 6wks.

There has been no medical cause for my delay in falling however the month I conceived I took Robbitussen at OV and Instead Soft Cups. In fact due to illness we only had intercourse once in the whole month and on that occasion I inserted the Soft Cup. 12 dpo and I got my BFP. This pregnancy feels so much different from the miscarriages so I'm hoping its a sticky bean but I cannot recommend Ovulation sticks, cough mixture and soft cups enough.

Oh and my partner was told his swimmers had low motillity so feeling ver lucking right now.

Good luck xx

3 years trying... month before starting 1st round of IVF.. BFP! I had completely relaxed as I knew we were having IVF so had stopped 'trying'... We had also improved my partners sperm count/morphology (maca, pine tree bark, NAC and wellman vits -reduced sugar, alcohol and caffeine diet - poor soul!)...
Now almost 10 weeks and still crossing my fingers for scan in fortnight!!
Good luck.. miracles do happen, when you're least expecting them..

We were NTNP for about 18 months and then TTC for exactly 18 months when I got my BFP. We were told it would not happen for us as OH has a very poor sperm count. Don't give up hope! It can happen.

2 years and 2 months...I was to scared to go to any doctor that is why I just kept on trying. It happened naturally. Used BBT charts, and for the last 2 moths OPK tests. xx

My fiance and I were together for almost 5 years without birth control before I got pregnant, but it did happen naturally, just took awhile!

We were trying for around ten months before we started investigating whether there was something that keeps us from conceiving. You hear all those stories around anyway. That most couples succeed in six months and so on.

Turns out, we're both fine.

While we were on tests (had to change three doctors due to inconsistent diagnoses ) we were told that couples our age (I'm 30, DH is 35) may take up to two years to conceive. And I've known of several couples that succeeded after a year and a half. It's much more common than people think.

Finally, as far as stress is concerned, I understand that there are many ladies that succeeded when least expected, but I think this is subject to personal interpretation. I've asked my FS and they said that, even though mental health is important in all aspects of life, stress specifically about ttc will not prevent you from getting pregnant. Do try to stay positive, but don't stress about stressing too much. Do remember that it takes two to make a baby.

Hello there There is still a hope for you I'm sure.
We've been TTC for about 2.5years. It's been a tough and long journey, with loads of tests and screenings but no medications. I suffer from POCS and my man has got low sperm motility. After all we said to ourselves that we'll try without any drugs or IVFs until we reach 4 year mark of TTC.
One day I woke up and understood that we have to change something in ourselves so we can say that we've tried everything if it won't work in the end.
We've ditched alcohol for good, quit smoking and balanced our food very carefully. After a month of doing that I fell pregnant.
I didn't have any complications (knock on wood) in my pregnancy, and I'm already 16 weeks along. It's possible but you have to try every recipe in the book...!
Best of luck!

Thank you all for the responses! So inspiring!

We tried for 4+ yrs (50 months) without any kind of positive. We seen fertility doctors for the last 2.5 yrs who diagnosed us in the end with unexplained infertility. We had given up and have actually saved almost 20K so we could adopt internationally. I concieved on Father's Day and am now 6w3d. Weirdly we conceived on Father's Day and I worked 11+ hrs that day so normally we wouldn't have even had intercourse after that long of a day but I guess we got really, really lucky that we did!

Hi Titi!

Just wanted to pop in and share my experience with you. I got married young, (and divorced too lol) but me and my ex husband tried for 5 years with no luck. We didn’t have the money for in vitro at the time and nothing else was working. Finally we parted ways and I had been told by doctors I wouldn’t be able to conceive naturally and I would need medications, fertility treatments and possibly in vitro. Well, I never used protection in any long term relationship after that as I didn’t think I could get pregnant. I met the man of my dreams in December of 2009 and we married in April of 2011. We thought we would wait until we were 30 to try all the treatments and what not, as we wanted a little time to adjust and to just try to do it on our own. We weren’t charting or counting anything as my cycle hadn’t been regular in 15 years.

My doctor had given me Provera to jump start my period as I didn’t want to take birth control. Well, I had been taking provera on and off for ten years – but I always took a pregnancy test before I took it, just in case. Well, 10 years worth of Provera and probably 100 negative tests later, it was routine. I couldn’t figure out why I was over a month late for my period, bloated, and was not losing the weight I was trying to. Well, when that test showed two lines, I was literally in shock. We thought I was 8 weeks going by LMP – but I was only 4, and the doc was not optimistic at all and kind of nasty. BUT – everything has been great so far and I am almost 11 weeks with our miracle baby! Me and the hubby are ecstatic about not needing any medication or treatments to get here. The only thing I changed was cutting out refined carbohydrates in my diet and following an Atkins approach to life.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I tried for 16 months with my ex husband, with some lovely hindsight it was a good job nothing happened as he then left me for my best friend! I've been with my current partner 3 years and have been on the pill throughout. No sickness, upset tummy or antibiotics, no missed pills and all of a sudden pregnant. Small miracles do happen!xx

titi -I am just about 29 yrs old

We TTC'd for 3+ years before having our first baby. I have PCOS, and my husband didn't have great results with his SA, so we were told we needed ICSI. The fertility specialist put our chances of conceiving naturally at 0.1% (how they work these things out, I have no idea!). Anyway, we went through all the rigmarole, and finally had our screening appointment for ICSI. Oodles of forms to fill in, some tough decisions to make. 5 days later I found out I was pregnant naturally

Then this baby, I was on the mini-pill, in addition to any "natural" problems we have. This is one determined bean

WOW I'm loving all these stories!! Thank you all so much for sharing your miracles!!!
