What was the longest it took you to get pregnant?

Don't lose hope, stress could definitely be part of it. Took me 8yrs for the first, 4 yrs for the second, 2 yers for the third and surprise #4, 3 yrs later. Got it started & couldn't get it turned off.lol

My first 3 I got pregnant just by looking at me, then when we decided to try for our last it took us 1.5 years and 1 miscarriage! (i've had 2) I'm sorry I can only imagine how hard it must be 1.5 yr seemed so hard and I already had 3!

Praying that you will get results soon!

When I conceived my oldest I too was on Birth Control Pills. My daughter was about 3yrs. old when I conceived my second but we were only intimate 1 time with my second child. My 2nd. was only a few months old when I became pregnant with my 3rd. that went to heaven at 27days old and between 3-6 months after that tragedy we conceived my 4th. and last without even trying :......( I remarried when my 4th. child was about 3yrs. old and would so love to have a baby with my husband, but because of medical problems I was forced to have my tubes tied thinking It would kill me if i had anymore kids. I cried until they put me under, come to find out it was all a lie I could have still had more baby's and I have regretted listening to my doctor everyday since then. The clip on my right Fallopian tube came off recently on its own and for the first time in 8yrs. I have hope just don't give up never give up. I thought I would post this message in addition to my other message and break it down for you.

I did have a friend who had difficulty getting pregnant until she lost 50 lbs.

It took us 10 years! I had severe endometriosis. Although we never did fertility treatments, I did treat the endometriosis with laproscopic surgery and Lupron. My physician told me he'd never seen anyone with endometriosis as severe as mine get pregnant... basically, that I needed to move on and get on with my life, which I did. As much I wanted a child, I decided I could be happy if I never had any. So I enrolled in graduate school, LOL ~ that's when I got pregnant!

Now, in hind sight, I realize I could have enjoyed my life either way ~ with or without children. Having children is not always as idyllic as it seems when you desperately want a child. It certainly has its wondrous, tender moments, but there's also exhaustion, expense, anxiety, grief, mess, and putting someone's needs who will not appreciate your efforts ahead of your own. I think some people want children because they want the profound love that a young child has for a parent, but they don't stay young children long ~ they turn into teenagers! Being a parent comes down to being able to love them more than they'll be able to love back.

The rest of the story that I think helped me conceive: I came off night shift. I was more rested. I was less anxious because I was no longer focused on what was wrong, but what was right with my life. It's better for your husband to wear boxers as opposed to briefs. I also recommend making love in the morning to conceive. Not only did I get pregnant, but I got pregnant a second time! We have a daughter 20 and a son 18 now. I'm thankful for the years we didn't have children too though. It gave us time to mature, to get past it being about us, to truly develop as a couple. I'm sure we were better prepared as parents because we had more time to figure out what is truly important before we had kids. We've been married 31 years, now and our relationship is better that it's ever been. I'm not sure I would have believed that possible in my 20's. Good luck. Auf Wiedersehen!

It took 2 1/2 years for me.
