My first MC (no D&C) i got pregnant straight away but with my second (D&C) i'm still trying with no luck it's been 4 months
people keep telling me not think about it too but like you said it's a bit hard just sweep it out of your mind
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you dal

It took us 4 months the first time, but I miscarried. We tried the first cycle after that with no luck. I know it was only a month, but I gave up for a few months so I could have a much-needed break. We had one month where we weren't trying, but we weren't preventing...again, nothing (which was for the best anyway....I was on anti-depressants and was in the process of getting off them). The next month we were fully ttc again.....and got pregnant :)

I used OPKs....I know some people don't like them but to be honest, I swear by them. Both times I got pregnant I was using them (two cycles the first time, one cycle the second). Also, I MADE myself do other things.....I helped my mom re-do a room in her house, I worked extra hours, I got a second job, I started exercising by walking every day (even lost some weight in the process)....anything to keep my mind occupied!! I really just decided to live my life as if I wasn't trying to get pregnant. Believe me, it was very hard but very rewarding as well.

Good luck....sending lots of baby dust your way!!

I think the average time if neither partner has anything reducing their fertility is 4.5 months. Basically - if you're both in perfect reproductive health you have a 1 in 5 chance of getting pregnant each month, It's a tricky old business for our bodies to get right - definitely not intelligently designed :)
Have sex every two-three days after the end of your period until you detect your ovulation has passed.

I found this but not the original study mentioned:
"According to one study, 25% of couples get pregnant in the first month of trying, while 60% of couples trying to get pregnant do so within six months. On the other hand, 75% of couples get pregnant within nine months while 80% get pregnant within a year. Finally, some 90% of couples get pregnant within eighteen months of trying."

I hated the not thinking about it advice - how ridiculous! Like kokomokers I tried to keep myself busy with other things but made time for sex in the week after each period - even if it meant being late for work! That way I knew I was doing everything I could. Oh and took the folic acid and ate healthily etc :)

It took me a year to get pregnant before my endometriosis was diagnosed but only two months after it was treated.
Hang in there and good luck!

Oh and if people tell you that "trying's the fun bit", tell them to sod off :)

We were advised to wait 3 months before TTC. We waited and had sex everyother day (even though I may have been tired, or grumpy) and we are pregnant a month later.
Good luck!! I hope all goes well for you.
