One of my friends has 2 kids and for her first one it took 6 months to conceive and the other it took one, it all depends on what your body is going through at the time. Also, do not drink, not even a little, if it turns out that your fertility is kinda low in the first place it'll just make it take longer.

Every woman is different. It took us 10 months on my first pregnancy. Maybe because I was too stressed out at work. I do a lot of walking and wearing high heels don't help as well. After the miscarriage on my first, I got pregnant again just after 4 months. Me and my baby is doing alright so far and on my 6th month of pregnancy. 2 friends of mine got pregnant so easily. They are pregnant again just after 2 mos of delivering their baby! Amazing! Just relax and enjoy practicing. Let nature take its course.

I've had 3 pregnancies; 1-2 months with the first, 15 months with the second and 1 month with the last. My first and last pregnancies weren't planned and they happened quick. Stress can make it difficult to conceive. Just relax and it will happen when you least expect it. Good luck!!!

How Long Its Taking Me
I was married four yrs ago and I didnt mind becoming pregnant. I got married in june 01, and then found out I was pregnant in dec 01. I then miscarried in jan 02. And I started trying about 1 yr later. So really its been about 2 yrs and I am still not preganant. It is very, very painful. And every month I think could it be now. Hopefully soon!!

Kenwood...
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I really hope you and your husband are blessed with a beautiful, precious baby of your own real soon. I understand how hard it is not to stress and be extremely worried about it all. Have you been to the doctor's?

Yeh I know it was a very painful time for me. Ahhhhhhhhh thanks so do I hope we get what we both want. I know I shouldn’t be stressing about it but I just can thelp it. No matter how hard I try, there is something there all the time to bring it back. When im travelling to work there are such cute little babies, that giggle and smile at me, and my eyes just fill up. Even when I go to work, there is always someone pregnant. Family in both mine and my husbands families have never had any problems conceiving, which just adds to my pressure.

Its really hard and I just don’t know what to do or where to turn. Sometimes I just want to get away from everyone, and just go somewhere. I get so down, and emotional but I feel no-one understands, because no-one has been there. I am considering hypnotherapy or acupuncture, to help me relax, anyone got any comments about it?????

Yes iv been to the doctors and they have done loads of blood tests and many scans. They said I have polycystic ovaries, and that is stopping me from ovulating. They have given me a drug called clomid – to help me ovulate. I have been taking it for a few months but no luck yet. I am still not ovulating. I really hope its this month.

Also, in my last scan it showed something dark on the picture, but the doctor stated that he thinks it could be a fibroid. I have been in 2 minds as whether I should find out what that is first. I felt as though he was trying to push me away from the subject, as he kept saying it doesn’t look serious. Has anyone got any info about fibroids, or the problems it can cause – if any?????????/

I was told a year after trying to conceive and an u/s that I possibly had poly cystic ovarian syndrome. I had another procedure done and it showed both tubes blocked. Maybe you should inquire about that.

what's wrong with wearing high heels? And isn't walking good for you? Or are you talking about wearing high heels when you walk?

Hi michelle,

no I have enquired about my tubes, and the tests for them showed clear. I have been taking clomid to help me ovulate for a few months, but I have no idea what will e happening next. I am absolutely terrified. I really dont want it to get to a stage where I have to go through ivf. I keep thinking that if it comes to that, I wont be able to cope. This is agony enough, but when it getsd to that stage you feel luck is running out. Has anyone got any ideas about the acupuncture or hypnotherapy. I feel like im in pieces, and I cant pull myself together. The only thing to make me complete will be my little baby. That is when my life will be complete!!!! Me, my husband and our little baby.

Try something that can relax you like what you mentioned, acupuncture. Get pampered and put yourself at ease.
I hope you can finally come on here and announce that you're pregnant!!!
Good luck!
