Starting to try..

Hey there ladies, my husband and I are going to start TTC in December. Our window is kind of small to actually conceive due to my graduation/new job situation. My doctor (going to switch ASAP, because this one sucks) keeps telling me that it'll take around a year to get pregnant. What I don't understand is how or why? I haven't been on birth control in five years, and my husband and I are young(late 20's) and healthy adults. I've been taking prenatal vitamins, exercising, eating right and my husband has been doing about the same. She is just depressing me when she says, you'll be extremely lucky if it happens right away. Neither one of us have any medical problems or a major family history of anything. All of my sisters got pregnant right away with no complications. So why is she saying this? Is anyone else dealing with a similar situation?

What your doctor should be telling you is that it can take a normal, healthy couple up to a year to get pregnant. Probably smart of you to find a new one

My advice is to do some research, read Taking Charge of Your Fertility, and try to become as familiar with your body as possible. And, try to have fun and not stress out about TTC.

That's one thing I have to remember is to not stress out! I will definitely check out Taking Charge of Your Fertility. Thank you

It could happen right away, it could not.

It could take up to a year, it could take a month. No one knows for sure. It's actually quite amazing how much goes in to getting pregnant. It's kind of amazing that we aren't extinct. Good luck, I hope your journey is short!

Eh, everybody is different. Hopefully you won't have any issues and it doesn't take a year.

I could have written this 3 years ago. Word for word. My husband and I are both perfectly healthy. We have unexplained infertility. I wouldn't wish it on anyone and hope your journey is short and sweet. It can take a healthy couple up to a year to get pregnant.

As other ladies have said, it could happen right away, it could take longer. TCOYF is a huge help. Good luck to you!

I wouldn't wish that on anyone either, I am very sorry! Is there anything you can do about it? I truly hope that is not the case for us, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't thinking in that direction. Thank you!

Thank you to all of you, ladies! I watched all of the videos of the Great Sperm Race, and man did that put it all together for me. I was impressed by how much I learned from those videos, thanks for the reference!
