I was told a year is normal...if you are under 30.Over 30, 6 mos. I know personally, my sister was completely healthy, and her 1st took 2 1/2 years. Another girl I know took 1 1/2, and a relative of mine it took just about 2 years. All of them were thoroughly checked and everything was fine and normal, including their partners, by specialists. Their next step was IVF, but unless you are rich, its hard to spend 10,000 dollars when there is nothing wrong....so they just waited it out. Its easier said then done, believe me Ive been ttc for 19 mos now, but when you dont try, it comes. When my sister gave up all hopes of it happening, she found out she was pregnant 3 weeks later!!!! Hoped this helped a little...dont get discouraged, have fun ttc and babydust to you!

If you are under 30...a year
If over 30, 6 months is what my ob said
Are you charting? If you go for infertility, they will ask you that and suggest it before any meds.
The only way for you to know if you are ovulating is to take your basal body temp each morn, same time and before you get up. You should see a pattern in temps that leads up to and after ovulation. You can get the basal thermometer at Wal-Mart for about 8 dollars. I use a wonderful FREE website called Fertilityfriend.com...it graphs your temps for you, keeps track of your fertility signs, tells you when you ovulate and also tells you if there is an implantation dip in your temps. You can also use Ovulation prediction kits, but they only measure your LH surge and give you a ball park time for ovulation...they do not pin point it. Oh, and it is possible to be ovulating while you do not have your period, just like it is possible to have a period and not ovulate.

That varies with health, age, and risk factors. Young and healthy individuals can wait up to a year and a half unless they are in a hurry. Generally a year is advised before worrying. Try to enjoy your time trying. In short, don't really try. Let it happen.
After that, seek medical advice. Even with medical help, don't worry over it. Worrying will only hinder your marriage and attempts.

My doctor told me if after 6 months of active trying if we weren't pregnant we should come see him to be evaluated. Luckily we got pregnant the first week we tried.

For my first child it took a year, my second child it took about 9-10 months, and my third child it took 3 months (but she wasn't a planned pregnancy).
