    On average it takes 6 months to a year for perfectly healthy couplse to conceive. It doesn’t happen over night for most people.

    The average is 6 months to a year. Have sex often so that you don’t miss ovulation or miscalculate when you are ovulating. So have sex every 2-3 days for the month. Also even if you have sex around ovulation you only have 25% chance of becoming pregnant each month so that is why it takes long sometimes. Good luck.

    honestly it took me about 1 to 2 years to get pregnant.. and it took my friend 1 year to get pregnant.. i think it depends how often you try and just keep trying..it will happen.. and keep in mind that for some reason after you have a baby it is easier to get pregnant.

    I’m 18 too and this is my second month ttc, this past cycle I started taking Mucinex to help thin out my cm more (I started taking it every 12 hours from CD10-CD15) and I’m hoping for my BFP this month. I heard it helped a lot of people get pregnant faster. So try that.

    Don’t.

    Seriously. It’s not about not being married yet, it’s about spending time being married with you FI before adding a child to the mix. You are much better off waiting.

    Babies often make relationships harder, especially having a child before you are even married.

    Please, take the time to grow up a little and enjoy being a couple before being a parent.

    6-12 months. It took me 6 months for my first pregnancy, 3 for my second and 5 for my third. You could try using ovulation tests or/and charting. Also make sure you are eating healthy and taking prenatal vitamins that have folic acid in them. Good Luck!

    Sweetie, I know it’s exciting and you want to have a baby but seriously….wait! spend some time with your hubby first! It’s nice to be able to have the freedom to just go do whatever you want, whenever you want, cus let me tell ya, when you have that baby you won’t be able to do that anymore!! Take a nice honeymoon with your hubby before you have children and you won’t regret it. Trust me!

    P.S. wait till you get married at least ;)

    EDIT: In response to “(9)”….I didn’t think I was being mean but truthful. Everyone has thier own morals and way of life, and God gives us free will and we can choose how to live. My mother had my sister at 18 also, and she is NOT still married to the same man for various reasons, but she also complained most of her life that she didn’t get to “live” and in response we felt unwanted sometimes. Although I’m sure my mother never regrets us, it’s still in the back of her mind always. I don’t discourage trying right when you get married, if fact I think that’s great, and that’s why you get married. I just know how wonderful it was to spend time with my hubby before we conceived our baby that’s due this November. It was wonderful!!! and if we could have afforded it before, we would have tried right away as well. I just don’t want to see anyone in my mom’s situation where she regreted time she could have been with her spouse before what happened, when her life completely changed forever. not in a bad way at all, but to her she would never get that youth back. So I apologize if I sounded “horrible”, I didn’t mean to do so. Good Luck!

    18 yr olds trying to get pregnant, how ridiculous!
    marriage has nothing to do with having a child, your planning to have a child before marriage, you dont really know how well u and ur partner will mesh after marriage
    if you do have a child and it cramps your future husbands style its pretty easy to get a divorce
    let urself grow a little bit more before you bring another life into this world, thats extremely selfish of u

  11. ILuvHair says:

    It really depends on your body and the body of the person you are trying to conceive with. Also medication you may be taking, irregular periods, undiagnosed health conditions. I believe that before you try to get pregnant, one should go to the doctor for a check up to make sure that everything is ok to conceive that way if there is in fact a problem, it can be managed in the beginning.

    Also knowing when you ovulate will play a major role in getting pregnant. If you are not having sex at the right times, then you will not get pregnant. I would suggest tracking your periods and finding out when your body ovulates. This can be done by counting back 14 days from the of your next period and that will be your expected date of ovulation. Also you can buy an ovulation predictor kit or LH strips to alert you when ovulation is approaching or is occuring.

    If you are still unsuccessful after trying these tips, then i would consult a doctor.

    I’ve heard it can take up to a year. After that long, then doctors consider you for special treatment.

    Don’t listen to these mean horrible people telling you what to do. It’s your life and you are an adult and you are getting married! My mom was 18 when she married my dad too, and they started trying for me right away and then she had me at 19. They are both still together and happily married – how many of the mean commenters can say that about their own marriages or their own parents? Mine have been married almost 30 years and don’t regret a thing.

    As far as your question goes, it took me so much longer than I thought it would. It took 9 months the first time but I miscarried. Then it took me a few months to conceive again. So overall, it took a year.
    Good luck! You know what is best for you, don’t let people bring you down.
