| How long were you TTC?
Hi all, firstly, congratulations to you all!
I am from the TTC forum and was wanting some advice / info from some of you lucky people 
Husband and I have been TTC for 10 calendar months now - this is 13 cycles. How do I count how long we've been TTC? Calendar or cycles?
A couple of my friends have said it is about time DH & I got checked out but I'm mot sure if this is too soon?? 
Can anyone help me with the above?
Also, I'd be interested to find out how long you guys were TTC.
Many thanks all! | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | We have been trying without trying since...early 07 and officially started around august 07. So it took us 8 months officially, with me charting and everything. I went to the doc to get checked out because it was taking us so long and I wanted to make sure there wasn't anything wrong with me. I also have irregular periods, so that never helps! After I did that...about a week or so later, I got my bfp! I think it just helped me feel more relaxed and surprise to my nurse, I got preg! If you feel you should go get checked out I would do it...it doesn't hurt, and it might help relieve some stress. Lots of luck to you, and you will get there!!!  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I count cycle "months" and it took us 6 cycles total. I think after 13 cycles you can definitely get seen and checked up to make sure all is in order. good luck to you both!! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Technically we were trying three months. The first I got loads of symptoms but then they faded and my period came as normal. But in the second I am certain I didn't ovulate (perhaps because of the brief conception in the first). Then we had success. | | | | Status: Online
