It took my husband and I a year and a half. At the year mark we even went and saw a fertility specialist who after testing said we were fine. Why do you think it takes some people longer then others even if their tests all come back normal?
How long did it take you to conceive your first baby?

2 years. It was stressful but I look back and am grateful it was only 2 years. Some women fight the fertility battle a lot longer.

Almost 2 years for my first, then my second was the second month we started. Then my 3rd took almost 3 years. Then my 4th came as a sweet surprise. Its crazy because it never made sense and my doctors and myself couldn't figure out why. But I was grateful it worked out for me, when its a lot longer for others. Fertility issues are a beast.

I was told that your chances of conceiving right away decrease dramatically once you turn 30. I was 32 when I started trying and didn't conceive until 34. My fertility specialist tried a few things to help me but nothing worked. I just started to relax about the whole thing and then it happened on our own. Try to take your mind off it (easier said than done, I know!).

An embarrassingly short amount of time. In fact we weren't even trying, but God makes no mistakes. I love my baby.

It took us 2 years and we even had fertility treatments. As soon as I purchased a dog and started to relax, it happened naturally. Don't give up!

It took us about 3 months to conceive #1. Even though we ended up getting pregnant pretty quick it was initially confusing because we tried to get pregnant on my honeymoon-we were there for 12 days and had plenty of sex and I ovulated but we didn't conceive so I was certain there was something amiss. I think sometimes it just downright doesn't work? Who knows? But best of luck to you!!

My husband and I took about 12 months to finally conceive. I remember every negative pregnancy test I couldn't help thinking that it was never going to happen. I finally just decided that month we did end up conceiving I finally just tried not to stress about it and the first time that i didn't stare at the stick while waiting for the results, I was really in shock when that ClearBlue said "Pregnant".

I read its normal to take a year to conceive. I got pregant within 3 months of stopping my birth control with my first child. This time around its been over 6 months and I am not worried though, some things take time I guess.

We got pregnant immediately but for the sake of perspective we are below the curve when it comes to everything else like communication skills, forgiveness, improving our marriage. Life is like that ... mysterious. Hang in there all of you who are trying, stay positive and avoid the stress of trying/conceiving somehow.

35% of couples are diagnosed unexplained infertility. That was the case for me and my husband. we tried for 2 years all the tests came back normal and eventually after failed 3 failed IUIs we ended doing IVF and that didnt work until the 2nd time.

Everyone is different. Me and my husband tried for 2 years then said screw it and went to a fertility doctor where we were told we were both perfectly normal and so we were considered "unexplained" infertility which just meant no one had answers for us then it took us another year of IVF treatments and finally we are pregnant with our first child. Now my sister is getting married next month saw what a problem I had went off birth control and the first time she had sex without it she got pregnant. Its different for everyone even if there is technically nothing wrong with you medically.

My first pregnancy just happened super early into my first marriage. We weren't trying. Now, it seems like it is taking forever! We have been trying for over a year now.

After a year I kept getting advice to go see a specialist, but didn't want to. I am not sure if I didn't want to out of fear of hearing yes for sure I couldn't have a baby, or just that I wasn't ready or wanting to be a parent. Either way, 5 years later and we have found our new norm, without baby. But I am a person who never sought that information.

Once we decided we wanted a kid we tried to have it as much as possible during one month and next month found out we were pregnant. But everyone is different.
