POLL: How Long Did It Take You To Conceive?

[CamoQueen]

1. It took us 4 months to conceive.
2. I took the mini-pill for a little under a year but stopped about a year before we were actively trying... but I didn't ovulate until starting 4 months before BFP (I was breastfeeding at the time).

I haven't taken BC for years. It made me fat and unpredictable!

It took one month for our first pregnancy, which sadly ended in a MC. Then I fell immediately with Ted, and now that he's almost seven months, it took us two months this time, although I now have 42 day cycles, and had to use OPKs

1. How long did it take you to conceive? We conceived after 2 months of actively trying! We are very very blessed that it happened so quickly!

2. Did you take birth control prior to pregnancy? and if so for how long? I was on the Pill for about 7 years

 

[s_johnson]

It took me 3 months and I was never on birthcontrol in my life.

Id been on Depo for almost 8 years...then went to the pill because we wanted to be able to plan for the baby and getting off the pill is easier than depo.
It only took me 2 months after I got off the pills to get pregnant...that was with paying attention to the firtile days and so on. I ended up with twins!!! When theres NONE in my family or his! Rumor has it that the pills do make you release 2 eggs for your first few cycles.

I was not on any birth control for six months before we started trying and then it took us 21 looooooong months. Very stressful, but happy now!

1. 2 weeks to conceive, decided to ttc when i felt ovulation cramps that cycle

1. First cycle! Before testing, I was already getting ready to gear up for next month because I was convinced I was out this month...I almost ordered a bunch of stuff to help us get our BFP next month (i.e. CBFM, fertility supplements, Conceive Plus etc.). I would be kicking myself right now if I actually wasted money on all that while expecting!

2. I've never been on birth control, and I probably never will be.

1. Conceived on the 3rd month with both pregnancies.

2. I have been on the pill for 14 years (age 18-32)

and hoping its happens just as easily as we are starting to ttc again as our Anna has just turned 1!!

Yes, I am a lurker - hope to be joining in this forum again soon!

Congrats to everyone on here with their bfps!

1. How long did it take you to conceive? We did 6 tries over 7 months (month 6 hubby had a NASTY flu so we missed the window. Month 7/try 6, I was absolutely not expecting a BFP!

2. Did you take birth control prior to pregnancy? and if so for how long?

I was on BCP's for almost a year just over 2 years ago . . . had not been on them for over a year when we started trying. I will never go back to them.

 

[EmmaFTM]

4 months to conceive after ten years on the pill. X

 

[PugMama22]

I was on birth control for about 9 years. Got off bc in Jan 2010, started seriously TTC July 2010 and conceived baby #1 in Jan 2011. It took us 7 months. We are so excited! Good luck!

My first son was about 6 months after I met his dad and had unprotected sex the whole time, no birth control ever.

Second son I was on depo for over 5 years, came off it in March and was pregnant in November of the same year so I guess 8 months.

This baby came to be the first month his dad wasn't so careful while BDing. It was seriously a one time deal and I can't believe it happened, I am so happy! Have not been on birth control since 2007.

 

[MoonLove]

We got pregnant in the first month of trying I came off the pill (after being on it for two years) in Oct & got my BFP in Nov xx

 

[Wolfie]

Thirteen months of very active trying
Had taken birth control pills for a period of three months, thirteen years before trying (1997) Since then I used condoms.

 

[Mummy Vikki]

I was on the combined pill for over 10 years and fell with DD within 3 weeks of coming off

Was on cerezette after DD was born for just over 6 months - came off due to constant spotting and was pregnant about a week or so later and I was still BF'ing
