When my husband and I first started TTC, it took us four months to get pregnant. The next pregnancy, we weren't trying. We were actually using protection. We left out the protection one day and just like that I was pregnant. This time around, it took us about 2 months.
Some people go through years of trying, tests, fertility treatments, and prayer and still no baby.
Bottom line? It's going to take as long as it takes. In the world of TTC (trying to conceive) 3 months isn't long at all!
If after a year of her charting her cycle, taking her temperature and you all having sex on all the right days she still isn't pregnant, then is the time to wonder what's wrong.
Be patient. I've found, the hard way, that if you are anxious it seems to take longer.
Good luck.

Before you even try to get pregnant, you should both go to the doctor, make sure that you're both healthy enough, that you make lifestyle changes that will help her conceive and make the pregnancy an overall healthier safer experience (both of you may need to make changes). You will also get suggestions from the doctor as to what you can do to make conception more likely (like how often to have sex) and how long to expect it to take before considering that there may be a problem. At this point, there may not be a problem, odds of conception go down with age, and it may take longer the older you are. There may be things that you can do to make it more likely, or maybe you are doing everything right and just need to try longer, either way, a doctor can help you determine that.

My husband and I took almost two years, but that was due to a medical problem that we didn't know we had and lucky for us it was done naturally. If you have any concerns you could see your GP. I found it very funny when we were trying to conceive, that there is such a small window of opportunity to actually fall pregnant and when you're trying too, you never get it, but there are so many people out there who don't try and manage to get pregnant. I agree with others, it's probably a timing issue, so just be patient, but if you are concerned talk to your doctor. I think don't leave it too long though. Good Luck and enjoy this time of trying to fall pregnant!!!

Doctors tell most couples that don't sweat it until after 2 years of trying. Stress can cause a woman not to ovulate. Relax! Enjoy this time knowing that you are so early in the game. Don't get discouraged this soon.
Also you may try having her on bottom and have her lay in bed right afterwards for a half hour to give your guys time to get through the front door.

Dont worry just yet it can take a year or more before you become pregnant. stress will not help. Their are kits that tell you when ovulating maybe doing it around that time may help. 3 Months is not a long time and does not mean their is something wrong. Have you talked with a doctor yet, maybe they can help put your mind at rest.

Stress, Or maybe your not trying on the right days. Try conceiving 16 days before her period is due and have sex everyday for about a week after that. She just needs to relax, its only been three months. It takes alot of couples at least a year.

I know it can be really frustrating. It took us 8 months to get pregnant. We found out I was not ovulating and my cycles were irregular so if we missed it by just one day we were in trouble. We started taking herbs to help with ovulation, he took zinc pills and I charted my Basal body temperature. 1 month after trying those things we got pregnant. i think you need to figure out what the problem is first.

Try reading this it may help you guys You may think you know how to make a baby. But do you really understand all of the intricate details? Sure, you've got the basics covered — man meets woman, they both get naked and have sex, and nine months later, out pops Junior. But there's a lot more to it than that, not to mention a host of modern variations on that theme. For instance, do you know exactly where sperm and eggs come from, or how these two microscopic miracle-makers find each other and create a new life? Or that you have only about a 20 percent chance of getting pregnant during each cycle, even if you time it just right? We'll spare you that awkward talk you probably got from your parents or middle school health teacher and instead give you just the facts — the fascinating biological facts about getting pregnant. Inside the woman's body: How an egg is hatched For women, the possibility of pregnancy begins in the ovaries, those two kiwi-shaped balls attached to either side of your uterus (see illustration above). The ovaries are like your permanent egg cartons, and they come fully stocked. Every infant girl is born with about 1 million eggs — more than a lifetime's supply — in her ovaries. You will never produce any more eggs. In fact, many of them begin dying off almost immediately. But don't worry, you have plenty left for your reproductive years. Altogether, you'll probably release about 400 eggs, beginning with your first period and ending when menopause arrives, usually between ages 45 and 55. Sometime during the middle of your menstrual cycle, most likely between the 12th and 16th days, an egg reaches maturity in one of the two ovaries, is released and is quickly sucked up by the tulip-shaped opening of the nearest fallopian tube. These are two 4-inch canals leading from the ovaries to the uterus. This release, called ovulation, starts the conception clock ticking. The average egg lives only 24 hours, so it has to be fertilized soon if a baby is to be conceived. If your egg meets up with a healthy sperm on its way to the uterus, the two can join and begin the process of creating a new life. If not, it ends its journey at the uterus, where it either dissolves or is absorbed by the body. When pregnancy does not occur, the ovary eventually stops making estrogen and progesterone, hormones that would help maintain a pregnancy, and the thickened lining of the uterus is shed during your period. Inside the man's body: The making of baby fertilizer While women are busy maturing a single egg at the leisurely pace of about one a month, men are almost constantly at work producing millions of microscopic sperm, whose sole purpose in life is to swim for their lives and penetrate an egg. While women come complete with all of the eggs they'll ever need, men aren't born with ready-made sperm. They have to make them on a regular basis — from start to finish it takes about 64 to 72 days to create a new sperm cell. Since the average sperm lives only a few weeks in a man's body and around 30 million to 300 million are set free with each ejaculation, this fertilization factory is rocking 24/7. Sperm production starts in the testicles, the two glands housed in the scrotal sac beneath the penis (see illustration above). The testicles hang outside of the body because they're quite sensitive to temperature. To produce healthy sperm, they have to stay a balmy 94 degrees Fahrenheit — about four degrees cooler than normal body temperature. Once the sperm is created, it's stored in a portion of the testicle known as the epididymis until it's scooped up and mixed with semen just prior to ejaculation. Despite the millions of sperm produced and released in each ejaculate, only one can fertilize an egg — this is the case even for twins. The gender of the resulting embryo depends on which type of sperm burrows into the egg first. Sperm with a Y chromosome will make a boy baby, and sperm with an X chromosome will make a girl. Plenty of myths about how to conceive a boy or girl have been circulating for centuries, and some are backed by a bit of scientific evidence, but on the whole, a child's gender is determined randomly. What happens while you're busy having sex The big moment has arrived and you're actually having sex. In addition to all of the fun, your bodies are building up tension that you hope will end in orgasm, that wonderful, pleasurable release that also has an important biological function. In men, orgasm propels sperm-rich semen into the vagina and up against the cervix at roughly 10 miles per hour. This process, known as ejaculation, gives sperm a head start on their way to the egg. A woman's climax also aids conception. Some research shows that the wavelike contractions associated with the female O help pull the sperm farther into the cervix. So what's the take-home — or take-to-bed — message? Let go and have as much fun as you can. It can only help your chances of getting pregnant. M
