Absolutely agree. My first took a year. We tried Preseed and Instead cups and BAM, pregnant. Jokes on us, have been trying for 18 months for our second and none of those tricks have worked. It was just coincidence and likely a huge dose of good luck that it worked the first time around.
The ONLY things I think really make a difference are tracking ovulation and making sure you or your partner are not on any medications that impact fertility. Fertile people get pregnant and infertile people usually don't. That's just the way it is.
