How long have you been TTC?

I have been trying to conceive for over 5 years. I know this has been very frustrating for me. I have been reading several signatures, but I thought it would be a good idea to ask the question in a thread. So, let me know how long have you been trying to conceive?

I have been married for 7yrs and never used BC always wanted children. So I would say I have been infertile for at least 6yrs, but just got up the nerve to see an RE.

We've been trying to conceive since December 27, 2002, a little over six months after we got married. This was the day I stopped taking my birth control pills. Yes, I have it down to the day. So it was 4 1/2 years by the time we conceived, it'll be five years next month.

Stephanie, I see that you had an HSG that was fine and then they found lots of things through Lap. Were they able to remove the scarring and endometriosis? Was it blocking your tubes at all? Just curious as I have a lap coming up.

Hello,
I have been trying to conceive on and off for about 5years, went to RE in 2002-2003 had every possible test done , even surgery to remove a small cyst. I am currently on clomid so far so good no side effects just a little cramping thats all. I am only 26 and cannot afford any infertility treatment soo I am hopping for the best. I will be prego someday and you will too!Oh I sent you a message to add me to you myspace blvsolis ok so that we can talk.
