35 -- 5 minutes...had no intention of getting pregnant and there was only a 5 minute window of time where it could have happened. She was totally meant to be.

At 33--got pregnant on the 2nd month off BCP (not actively trying)
Tried again starting at 36--and it took 11 months (and ended up pregnant via IVF at 37)
However, in my case, my husband had very low sperm count, motility and morphology. The first pregnancy was literally a 1% chance and I knew that I'd probably not hit those odds again so went straight to fertility treatments the second time around.

I agree as well. At 24 it took me 9 months to get pregnant. At 26 it happened within a month.

My OB has offered me some testing once I hit the 6 month mark so maybe I should get that done.
OP - do not stress. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
This is NOT a representative sample of women - most women do not get pregnant right away. I suspect with these types of threads that a lot of the women who respond are the women who are the extreme one way or another, and more frequently are the women who conceived right away. Frankly, women who had a harder time trying don't necessarily want to talk about it once they're pregnant. Took me 11 months for my 1st, 6 months for the second, and 7 for #3.
Get checked out at 6 months and in the meantime try to enjoy the baby making prcess.
Agree with this 100%. I'm the 31-yr-old that took almost a year. Sometimes it takes even normal, healthy couples a while -- even for #2 (and even if #1 came right away).

Didn't we just recently do one of these?
31, almost a year -- no fertility issues, either (but I'd been on BC for 10 years and think that affected things).

DD1 - 33, tried for 6 mos then stopped officially trying, got pregnant 7th month. I had stopped birth control at the beginning of this 6 month window.
DD2 - 36, tried for 4-5 mos, halfhearted attempts. Started using OPK and got pregnant in a month.
