I was married for 8 months before getting pregnant. I really wanted to get pregnant immediately, but it took some time. When we told my inlaws, my MIL said "Already?" I was so mad at her. I thought that 8 months was long enough to be married before getting pregnant, but obviously I didnt' get her approval first!
Keep trying and it will happen.

I was married for 2 years, and I got comments like that, not from my MIL, but from other people. I don't understand why so many people were surprised. We tried for over a year, so I'm glad we didn't wait any longer.

dawnred~ it was a boy....then 3 yrs later I had another boy and the comment from my MIL was "Oh, that is too bad you didn't have a girl, that would have been a perfect family for you." Needless to say, I don't get along very well with my mother in law.

I was married 3 years the first time but I was on the pill. Once I went off from it, it took me about a year. I got pregnant actually when I stopped thinking about it. My 2nd marriage, I was only married a few months and got pregnant while on the pill.

I got pregnant just after I got married. I have read that perhaps eating some food or avoiding some food can help you to get pregnant, also there are some pre-pregnancy information that you may need to read up. I stopped taking coffee three months before I got married, as caffaine is not good for getting pregnancy. Also, some of my friends told me that we can start taking folic acid if we want to get pregnant. You can also consult the doctors on this.

Was married in end of April 2008, we thought we were going to get it off right away but guess what. We came to conceive on his birthday 15/nov and the positive test came out on my birthday 12/dec.
Keep trying because you dont know when God has planned for you.

I was married for about 2 years before I got pregnant. It will happen for you. It is normal for it to take a year or more for a lot of women.

Hi, it really varies so much among couples. We have 2 kids and got pregnant the first month we tried with both of them. However, I know lots of people who have taken up to a year or even more to get pregnant. I'm not sure how long you've been trying, but I've heard and read that you should try for at least 6 months to a year before you need to start thinking about consulting an infertility specialist. My advice would be to just have fun trying and hopefully it will eventually happen for you! Good luck!
