I am TTC #1 and feeling a little discouraged. I was wondering how long it took some of you ladies to get pregnant the first time? Was there anything you did different that you think helped you conceive? Thanks for your stories and baby dust to all you TTC ladies!

Hi, I got off the pill and conceived #1 two wks later w/ absolutely no effort. I kind of assumed I'd be ovulating two wks after getting off, and apparently I was because I got a BFP. This was four years ago, and we're now in cycle 2 of TTC #2, not sure it will be as easy this time. :) I think I was just very lucky last time.

Most of my IRL friends have taken about 4-8 months each time to conceive their kids (those are the ones w/o fertility issues) - that seems about average.

I got pregnant the 2nd cycle after coming off alesse.
The second cycle I raised my hips for 30 minutes after BDing... I didn't know about that the first cycle.

It varies greatly from woman to woman, and even from pregnancy to pregnancy. I got pg with DD a month after I was married while on the pill. With this baby it took 11 1/2 months!
