[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got pregnant with my first the second month we tried, 3 years ago. We've been TTC #2 for 6 months now (currently on our 7th) - I temp so I know we've been hitting the right timing. I know they SAY it can take normal couples up to a year of trying, but I can't help but worry...obviously this is anecdotal but pretty much everyone I know has either gotten pregnant in the first two or three months OR ended up in a long infertility battle and requiring assistance. I really hope this isn't coming off as insensitive, I'm just looking for a gut check: in your experience is it actually common that it takes longer but nothing ends up being wrong? Or should I be worried? [/quote]

I think the trying for a year thing doesn't apply when you are charting and temping or using OPKs. The a year trying/20 percent thing i think only applies if you are not using protection. [/quote]

How many months is it then?[/quote]

Have you spoken to your doctor? Depending on your age s/he might suggest testing. Yes, it can take a year...but with charting and temping it's different. My doc said that if I wasn't pregnant in 6 months to make an appointment. But sometimes if you're under 30 they'll wait longer on that. I'd ask your OB.[/quote]

[b]According to Taking Charge of your Fertility, it said after 6+ months worth checking out.[/b] Following this, I went to an RE about 7 months after we started (with vigilant charting, etc). Turns out I did have a problem! We did IVF a year after we began trying. I was 31. [/quote]

This is my plan as well.  I got pregnant at cycle 6 last time, but was about to schedule an appointment.  Will do so again if we're still TTC after 6 cycles this time.[/quote]
