    13 months for DD - my cycle length varied so probably just less than 13
    Still TTC # 2 and just hit the 2 year mark - cycle length varies but probably less than 24

    I am also blessed to have decided to "see what happens" and then "Oh thats what happens" both times, first cycle. both times thinking it would take a while= which resulted in me being 20 weeks pregnant at my wedding (i am from a very catholic wedding). I think these babies mostly object to plans...from conception to birth and beyond.
    Good luck.

    Great thread...I used to google stuff like this! We started trying Dec 08, fell pregnant April 09 so 5 cycles! Which felt like an eternity so I feel for everyone who is still trying after years. Unfortunately we lost that little bub in June 09 and had just one period after my d & c before conceiving our son! Oh and I should add I charted the whole time and knew when I was ovulating so we were not flying by the seat of our pants iykwim :-)

    DD1: 1st month

    I'm now 25 and went off the pill about 18 months before we started TTC, just used other methods of BC.
    Once we started TTC, it was on the 4th cycle that we fell pg...

    4 months doesnt sound like much but during those 4 months it felt like forever. How the ladies who have been trying for years and years have the strength to continue, I take my hat off to you, your a true inspiration!
