I fell pregnant while on the pill in June 04 and miscarried at 8 weeks.
We got married in Nov 05 and decided to start trying right away. Figuring that since I got pg while on the pill it would happen quickly (2-3 months) it ended up taking 18 months...
So we're pretty apprehensive about the whole thing.
I have a scan on the 10th of July...so can't wait for that

we have only tried for one of our babies because the first was a surprise and so was this one. but i expected to fall pg stright away with number 2 as we were both young(25) and healthy but a year later we finally got pg (lots of pg tests later). much better having a surprise i think no waiting involved ha ha.

For us, two weeks out from our wedding we decided to go the no protection way and see what would happen. A week after the wedding (and while on honeymoon), a/f was due and she didn't arrive, turns out I was 1 week and 2 days pregnant at our wedding! So two weeks of "lets see what happens" has produced our much wanted little bubs!
Personally I believed it would take a minimum of 6 months. I have many friends that have had trouble conceiving or have had to got the IVF route, so I had mentally prepared myself for anything really.

When we started TTC i was 35 and had been on the Pill for 15 years so i expected it to take a few months, but when 6 months went by and AF was arriving regularly I got a bit concerned and it took us a year. I was beginning to wonder if we should just give up and go back to our old life when suddenly my boobs grew huge overnight and AF was very very late

Not at all (well, not for me anyways). I stopped taking the pill a year before we wanted to start TTC, so thought we would get pregnant straight away - 18 months later and the threat of fertility tests (including sperm count) got those tadpoles where they should be 
I'm charting already even though we don't want to start TTC until january (I never went back on the pill) just to see what my cycles are doing now and I can see now why it took us 18mths

We figured it would take about 4 months of TTC and it took us 6. Had just got DH sperm test done when we found out so we knew what the results of that was going to be before they even rang though. 
Should add that I have clockwork periods and neither of us have fertility issues - so for those TTC who haven't after a couple of months don't stress.

We thought about 6 months to a year too. I wanted to be pregnant before I turned 30 so we started trying in January 07 to see what happens. Lo and behold 3 weeks later symptoms started and test confimed at the doctors much to his surprise (he thought it was too early to have symptoms!!)

I'm another first month trying girl. We had everything planned - finish the house renovations, go on holiday, then TTC.
Well we got back to NZ on 3 Feb, and must have conceived that week! Very sickening to most of our friends, but I figure we've had enough other problems so it's nice that this was straight forward!

We thought it would take about 6 mths but actually took 22 months! Oh well, we got there in the end and it is worth the wait. Fingers crossed everything will turn out ok
