I'm not TTC or pregnant, but I have had five kids. Me and my husband have seven all together. I got pregnant as soon as I got off of my birth control. I'm also fertile as a corn field. After the fifth one, I had to stop. I got fixed so no more for us. I think seven is enough, lol. You may be lucky like I was and get pregnant right away. Or it may take a while. It really just depends on your body and your ovulation dates. Timing is everything when you are TTC.



Since you are TTC, I would suggest signing up for a website that can help you track your ovulation dates and you can get an idea of when you will be most fertile. This is a site that I used to frequent when I was pregnant. I still talk to most of the ladies that I met on there over five years ago. It's a whole community that can help with TTC and your pregnancy once you are pregnant. less

We are not actively TTC because it is to stressful for me, but I have some infertility issues and disabilities, so that factors into it. Right now we are not preventing or obsessing over trying, just being together as a couple and enjoying the sex, what happens happens.



Generally after the pill, IUD or condoms/diaphragm fertility returns instantly, after the depo shot it can take more than a year. Depending on the person the pill and hormonal IUD can take a few months to more than a year to return to fertility. less

I'm not actively TTC or pregnant, but my partner and I have talked about it. I have PCOS (just legitimately diagnosed today!) and, in talking with my doctor, it will take a year for the meds I'm on (Ortho-Tricyclen Lo, Metformin, spironolactone) to become stable-ish and then I can try to get pregnant. He says that, as soon as I'm done with the birth control, and everything else is kosher, I should be good within the month. less

Thank you for the link, Brandi.



Ugh, I try my best to track my periods and stuff, but I am so irregular sometimes. Sometimes I am on schedule, while others I can go months with no period.



It's really aggravating.



I got pregnant in 2006, but it resulted in a miscarriage. It was spontaneous, and the doctor said I was perfectly healthy. I do have RH- blood which I am a little worried about. less

You're irregular like I am. Another thing you can do is purchase at home ovulation kits. They will tell you when your best days to try is on. I've had two spontaneous miscarriages myself. I've had five kids, but I've been pregnant seven times. My second pregnancy was a miscarriage and so was my sixth pregnancy. I hope everything works out for you. If you try for a while with no avail, seek help from a fertility specialist. They would be your best avenue. less

Thanks. I will probably try the at home kit. I just can't keep track of it by counting. I never know when I am ovulating or not.



I also heard that you can still ovulate with no period.



This will be our first time trying after the miscarriage so hopefully all will go well, I really don't want to deal with another one. less
