How long was you TTC or have you been TTC? For Hannah we ttc for 2 years, for this baby we tried for 4 months

What was the hardest or has been the hardest part of the journey for you? waiting not knowing if I could get pg. It sucked I hated ttc at the end I just felt like I was never going to be a mom so I just had to get used to it

If you could give someone who is currently coming up to TTC one peice of advice what would it be and why? relax it will happen, I know thats not what they want to hear (I know I didnt anyway) but the month we took a break is the month we got pg with Hannah and the month that I was not really charting (busy with christmas) was the month I got pg with this one, so it works just very hard to do

How long was you TTC or have you been TTC? We did the NTNP thing and we started in Feb and I conceived May. But in March, DH was ot of the island when I was due to O and in April, he was attending a training course which warranted long nights and no time to get the groove on.

What was the hardest or has been the hardest part of the journey for you? The imaginary symptoms when you're not pregnant even when you didn't stand a chance of being pregnant.

If you could give someone who is currently coming up to TTC one peice of advice what would it be and why? This journey can call for a lot of patience and it can begin to consume you when you want it so badly and it's taking a while. Sometimes you need to take a step back, regroup and go again. Try not to let it become a chore. Remember your partner's feelings in all this and try to understand their side if they begin to feel frustrated.

How long was you TTC or have you been TTC? We tried for a year.

What was the hardest or has been the hardest part of the journey for you? It is all hard. The anticipation, the stress, the let down, the wait... I have long cycles, so when I was on CD1, a month and a half seems like a looooonnnng time. And the point at which I realized we might have fertility issues and the implications that had for our future plans.

If you could give someone who is currently coming up to TTC one peice of advice what would it be and why? Don't obsess. Easier said that done. It makes the days drag by and the disapointment more bitter. Find a hobby that does not involve analyzing your chart. Try to live life instead of letting TTC take over.

How long was you TTC or have you been TTC? I never actually TTC but I got my IUD out at the end of summer 2007. I NTNP for about 6 or 7 cycles and then my OB/GYN told me she would give me Clomid when I was ready. I never went back on BC but it took until Nov 2009 for me to get pregnant. So around 2.5 years of NTNP.

What was the hardest or has been the hardest part of the journey for you? Wondering if I would ever get to the point where I could afford and was in a position to TTCMA. When Gemma turned 4 I really started to think about getting my tubes tied because I was afraid of a huge gap. I just didn't think I would ever be with the right guy and have the financial means to TTC another.

If you could give someone who is currently coming up to TTC one peice of advice what would it be and why? Patience. Despair and depression were some of the worst problems for me when I wondered whether I would ever have another baby. Now I feel like the wait was worth it and that someone up above was just waiting for the timing to be right. It's almost impossible to feel patient while it's happening but in the end it will all seem perfect.

How long was you TTC or have you been TTC? 17 months

What was the hardest or has been the hardest part of the journey for you? Feeling like it was never going to work. Watching people get pregnant and give birth to their babies before I even got pregnant. Dealing with family and friends asking questions. Starting MA.

If you could give someone who is currently coming up to TTC one peice of advice what would it be and why? While I was TTC it felt like it was taking FOREVER. But once I got pregnant I realized i was still within the normal limits. It can take a full year to get pregant. It took us 10 months the first time and 7 months this time. Just feels like a lot longer when i didn't get a baby the first time around. I think plenty of sleep and good nutrition are important. Both pregnancies were concieved when I was on vacation from night shift.

How long was you TTC or have you been TTC? 2 years

What was the hardest or has been the hardest part of the journey for you? Watching everyone else get pregnant while I sit here and wait. I also know how bad my husband wants to be a dad, and it's my fault he cant.

If you could give someone who is currently coming up to TTC one piece of advice what would it be and why? Follow your instintcs.....if you need a break-take it....if you think you need to see a DR-Do it. You know your body better than anyone.

Thats for your answers girls! : o) And for those who havent replied... please reply!

How long was you TTC or have you been TTC? We've been TTC#2 for 9 months

What was the hardest or has been the hardest part of the journey for you? Finding out TTC would be harder then we thought it would be. Also finding out I might have PCOS, AFTER already having my daughter two yrs ago

If you could give someone who is currently coming up to TTC one peice of advice what would it be and why? Try and go with the flow. Dont force your self to DTD all the time or you will loose passion and it will be just about making a baby

How long was you TTC or have you been TTC? With Taylor we were NTNP for 1 month and with Rylie we were TTC for 1 month. I'm on my 1st cycle TTC #3 and even though I've been blessed in the past, I honestly don't think it's our month.

What was the hardest or has been the hardest part of the journey for you?It hasn't been too hard in the past. Since I have long cycles it's frustrating to wait and see if you'll actually O on CD 21. I wish I could just have a 28 day cycle.

If you could give someone who is currently coming up to TTC one piece of advice what would it be and why? Enjoy sex, try to relax and have fun, and try not to obsess over your chart too much... I do though, it's easier said than done

How long was you TTC or have you been TTC? we've been ttc (on and off) since May 08, so almost 2 years.

What was the hardest or has been the hardest part of the journey for you? the hardest part has been not knowing if anything we're doing is working, or feeling like there could be more I could be doing. not knowing, and waiting are the hardest parts.

If you could give someone who is currently coming up to TTC one peice of advice what would it be and why? if it doesn't happen in the first month or two, don't stress out. it's not a guarantee that you'll get pregnant right away once you start. don't let it stress you out.

How long was you TTC or have you been TTC? About a year.

What was the hardest or has been the hardest part of the journey for you? Miscarriages has been the #1 hardest thing for me, besides that getting so excited each month and then let down.

If you could give someone who is currently coming up to TTC one peice of advice what would it be and why? I definitely need to take my own advice, but find it really hard...but my adivce it to completely enjoy all the time you have now before you have kids. Enjoy all your free time with your hubby, enjoy alcoholic drinks, enjoy all those things that you cant have while your pregnant, and all the time that you have now that you wont have after a baby comes. I try to do that as much as possible, but sometimes its hard when you'd rather have the baby than all the free time in the world.

How long was you TTC or have you been TTC? Our first baby we weren't, I got pregnant on the pill. After the loss we were NTNP for 2 years 3 months before we conceived Liam. We weren't TTC Lochy, I got pregnant while still breastfeeding before getting my first PP AF. This baby we were TTC for 9 months.

What was the hardest or has been the hardest part of the journey for you? Watching everyone else around me get pregnant when I couldn't (this is mostly geared towards the time it took with Liam). The feeling that I was broken.

If you could give someone who is currently coming up to TTC one peice of advice what would it be and why? Stay positive and don't get so down on yourself. This is something that really is beyond any kind of real control you may have.

How long was you TTC or have you been TTC? We TTC for 1 cycle for Baby Boo and 3 cycles for Dustin. Curtis was a surprise.

What was the hardest or has been the hardest part of the journey for you? Losing babies. It's so incredibly painful.

If you could give someone who is currently coming up to TTC one piece of advice what would it be and why? That TTC is different for every person. Don't compare or expect your experience to be like someone elses. It's unpredictable.
