Did anyone become pregnant as soon as they started trying to conceive? How long did it take? How did you find out you were pregnant?

I have never had any problem getting pregnant, or at least not when I was actively trying. Actually, it seemed that I never had to try at all and it just kind of happened. I think its important to just relax and not worry about whether it will happen or not. Stress is a pretty good contraceptive.

Well that's kinda personal but I will answer. It took my husband and me 3 months to conceive. But I didn't find out I was pregnant for 6 weeks. I took a pregnancy test, and it came out positive. As soon as I did find out, I was sick for 6 months.

I totally agree, its probably the best contraceptive, besides a toddler that toddles into your bedroom at all hours....lol

I was so fertile, all my husband had to do was drop his pants and I was pregnant! But, seriously, I went off the pill in December and was pregnant in January. I left my diaphram out one night and blammo. I didn't use my foam and double whammy, I was pregnant with twins. I was certain each time I was pregnant, as I was very regular with my periods.

we weren't actively trying when our daughter was conceived, I had just come home from basic training and we both knew we wanted a baby and started talking about it some and found out I got pregnant the night I came home, and we weren't trying at all with this one, I was even on the pill.

I got pregnant the first three times by accident, we weren't trying, but we were not upset when it happened. One of those pregnancies ended in a miscarriage. For my son who is almost nine months old we tried for two months.

Forgot to add, I took tests for all four pregnancies a day or two before I was late because I felt "different". :)

I always said we were like rabbits! LOL I had my 1st child 9 months and 3 days after I got married! LOL It was not a planned occurance. I wasn't too savvy on those types of things 36 years ago. We waited awhile on our 2nd child...she came 2 1/2 years later.

Well with #3 it happened the first month we tried. I found out when I was about 5 weeks along. My husband thought I was late so I took a test (actually a couple of them) & we were pregnant. She is just under 2 weeks old now.

I was on "the pill" for three years, as soon as i got off it, it took me a whole year to get pregnant. I found out i was pregnant when i couldnt eat my favorite fast food, french fries, and a rallys burger! i threw it up and could not stand hamburger meat at all. Isnt that strange? so i decided to take a test and there i was pregnant.

I tried for ten years to get pregnant with one man. It didn't happen. The second man, I was pregnant after being with him eight months. We weren't trying, but my pills didn't work or something. I found out I was pregnant for sure as soon as I missed my cycle.

I swear that all my husband had to do was drop his drawers and I was preggers. I missed a period and that confirmed it. My cycle came like clockwork.

I never what you say had to try. I have four children and was on some form of birth control with all of them. I had to have my tubes tied b/c the doctor said I didn't need to have anymore due to health reasons.With my first child I was 16 when I got pregnant. I was in plain denial for the first 2mths but I knew. I took a pregnancy test with them.

my boyfriend and i have been trying since july to get pregnant, I got my last depo shot back in march and should have gotten another in June but didn't. I am still not pregnant, I am hoping that it is because i was on the depo shot for so long that it may still take a little bit to get pregnant, but when i got pregnant with my son I was on the pill.

We decided at the end of December 05 we would start in Jan 06 , so the end of Jan i went off the pill and by Feb i was as pregnant as pregant can be.
