-Please only answer for first child- may comment for others
-If you had any fertility aid (except over the counter) please don’t answer unless in comments 
***Please only click poll answers if you really want to see the results and can’t fit into an answer (I want the percentages to be as accurate as possible)
I’m curious to see the percentages of this because it’s coming up on my two year mark of TTC and I’m just wondering if there’s any hope to naturally conceive still. I’ve had some tests done and everything always comes back normal. We aren’t interested in getting any kind of fertility meds or treatment due to money and possible hormonal changes, which is why I’d like that not shown in the results. 
Thanks!

Answer

My husband and I are coming up on our 1 year mark assuming this month isn’t our month (currently 8 days late). Someone suggested I go to a fertility specialist. I can afford to get pregnant naturally. What I can’t afford is thousands in fertility meds and appointments with no guarantee of conceiving. So hubby and I will continue trying to get pregnant naturally.

Answer

I tried for just under 2 years and the only thing that I “believe” helped me conceive was going into hormonal birth control. 
I took the pill for a month and then stopped because of the side effects then all of a sudden I was pregnant. 
After such a long time I understand the pain you have and the thought that delaying the possibility of conceiving is painful, but it did work for me.

Answer

There's always hope. A good friend of mine was ttc for 10 years. For obvious reasons they had given up on the idea and then suddenly bam, she was pregnant. She now has a healthy 1 year old boy!

Answer

It took us 2 years and 9 months to conceive. That last month we werent necessarily trying or keeping track of ovulation. I did read a lot into Evening Primrose which is a vitamin you can get OTC at Wal-Mart. I took that during the last month. I don't know if it was the vitamin or just not stressed about it that month but we finally conceived.
Nothing else worked for us. OPK, BBT, Vitex, Clomid, Preseed, etc. So I gave up, started drinking alcoholic drinks again she said F it, then BAM

Answer

I didn’t vote but my experience has been 23 months TTC on my 6th round of clomid. This will be last round before moving on. We don’t have any diagnosis as of yet. SA and HSG came back with good results. I’ve had one chemical this April. 
I have picked out the RE that I will be using. At 24 months my insurance will cover the RE and more testing to determine why we have not conceived.

Answer

Yes! We weren't necessarily trying, but no protection was used for over two years. I got pregnant a couple of months after our 2 year anniversary. I did have birth control (nexplanon) the first month or so we were together, so I'm not sure if that had any play in it.

Answer

My first I tried for 16 mos. ended up conceivingafter one round of clomid after I was checked for hormonal or physical issues including pcos. My husband was also checked for sperm issues.

Answer

We're also coming up to our two year mark at the end of the month. We tried Clomid for three months but that didn't work either.
