How long did it take you to get pregnant when you were actually trying to conceive?

Question

My husband and I plan to try for a baby next year when I am 24 and he is 26.

I have never been pregnant before and have been on birth control for 5 years since we started dating.

I plan to go off birth control 3 months before we plan to conceive.

I am in excellant shape, I eat right, I don't drink, smoke, do drugs, etc.

I am very healthy and I have never had any trouble with my cycles.

I have had regular check ups that were always normal.

Should I expect to get pregnant fairly soon after trying?

Should be easy for me since I am young, healthy and "normal"?

How long did it take you to get pregnant? If it took a long time, why do you think that is?

Answer 1

for each of my 4 pregnancies, i conceived the first time, the very date we tried. Same with my best friend when she had her children.

The biggest causes of infertility and not being able to conceive easily are STD's and waiting too long i.e. until age-related infertility begins at age 27 or so (see Time Magazine article below) You are at the optimum age for pregnancy.

Your chance as a woman of becoming infertile as you age:
15-24 years old.......... 4.1%
25-34 years old.......... 13.1%
35-44 years old.......... 21.4%
(National Center for Health Statistics).

You haven't waited too long, so you have a great chance of conceiving very soon after going off contraception. Not only that, but it sounds like you take great care of yourself. Sounds like you'll be the perfect momma! :)

Good luck and best wishes!!!

Answer 2

This book is a must read for any woman trying to get pregnant. I was devastated and so was my husband after being told by my fertility specialist at age 38 that I had no option but to consider adoption or donor eggs (according to my doctor I was out of eggs and gave me 4% chance of getting pregnant and a 2% chance of carrying a baby to full term). After much research and dozens of hours reading infertility related articles and posts online, I have found this book! I never believed in anything alternative to western medicine and thought all the other stuff like Chinese medicine was a hoax. But I was soon glad to be wrong as I followed step by step guidelines. After one month of trying I became pregnant and had a beautiful healthy boy. Nine months after that I did everything in the book again and after 2 months of trying I got pregnant again and gave birth to another perfect little boy. I would recommend anyone with an open mind to read this book. It just might be the answer to your prayers.

Giving birth to a new life is indeed a blessing which almost every woman would wish to have. How to get pregnant naturally https://tr.im/JigMw
Enjoying the feeling of motherhood and raising a family would surely be a couple’s dream. Some get it naturally, while for some others things don’t seem to work as they desire. These reasons which stop a women from conceiving can be due to either physical reasons or truly physiological.

Answer 4

Me and my husband not exactly "tried" but we didn't use any kind of birth control for about 4 years then out of nowhere I got pregnant. Now with baby number two that we're actually trying it's not happening as fast as we'd like. I think it's because my cycles are really irregular and I don't ovulate every cycle. Everyone's different! Good Luck!

Answer 5

I wasnt trying but my boyfriend cant wear condoms, and I have scary side effects from all types of birth control so we made a huge commitment before ever deciding to have sex. When we started dating I was 17 and he was 22, Now he is 24 and Im almost 20.

It took roughly a 1.5 years and I was pregnant.

Answer 6

I stopped taking birth control pills near Christmas of 2004. I got pregnant the following April. This time around, we weren't trying. I had our daughter in January of this year, and by June we were pregnant again.

Answer 7

from whatever u have written,i don't think conceiving would be a problem.i would say u will conceive in the first 2-3 months itself.my cousin was also on birth control and she conceived the first month after getting off the pills.

Answer 8

This is my standard answer......... go get a book called Taking Charge of your fertility by Toni Weschler. It will help you understand your body and all the myths about it. It will help you time when you are ovulating and the best times to conceive. My Doctor recommended it to me and after 1 year of trying I got the book. It worked the very next month. It turns out that my timing was wrong due to mis-information. I hope it helps you, too! It's not only about getting pregnant. It's about knowing your body and knowing when you are fertile or not. You can pick and choose what you do with your info. Good luck and don't listen the all the myths!

Answer 9

My husband and I have 3 kids and one more on the way. It only took us 1 try each time to get pregnant each time. You might want to go off birth control sooner than three months, and find a 'natural family planning' class near you! These classes are not just for birth control, they teach you when is the best time to have sex to get pregnant, also. We took one years ago and I always knew when my most fertile day was, and I knew that I was pregnant before the pregnancy test came back positive.

Good luck!

Answer 10

Remember it takes two people to make you pregnant. So even if you are healthy and fertile doesn't mean your husband is. If everything is good with you both it should happen within 6 months, but there are so many things that could not work with one of you that could delay things. Just let it take it's time and it will happen when it is right.
