How long have you been TTC? Just wondering how long some of you ladies have been trying total.
For me It's been 2 1/2 years. Since August 2008.

This time around it has been 6 months, including the two losses. With CJ it was 15 cycles with three losses before I got my sticky guy.

Well, took close to a year to get pregnant before the miscarriage. I am still waiting for my freaking hcg to go to 0. It must really like my blood because it's hanging on for dear life in there.

I have been trying for almost 9 months, since May (well late April) of 2009. And I got pregnant in almost half of those months. What crappy odds

This is the first cycle after the loss (1 month). Including the loss it would be 4 months.

I was off the pill for a year when we got pregnant with Drew. We were actively TTC about 5 of those months, actively preventing for about 2, and NTNP for another 2-3, which is when we got pregnant. (I know that doesn't add up to a year. My cycles are on the longer side.) Of the months we were actively TTC we usually put up a pretty good fight, but not a super thorough one.
For us it's been since Feb. 2009, or 23 months, total. Although 10 of those months were spent pregnant, and a couple of those months were spent infertile after pregnancy and preventing.

Only since April 2010, but my 2 losses make it seem like forever.

I read all these posts and it makes me so sad. I never had to try to get pregnant and when we decided to try, I found out I was pg that month. Spent a month pg, then mc, then 4 months and a chemical, then next month I was pg again. So although it has felt like forever, it was only a little over 6 months. During that time, this has been my home though. I love everyone here so much and hope the best for everyone.
