How long did it take you to get pg?

So this is my 3rd cycle after having my IUD removed and once my period is gone, we can start trying for #3!  My first two babies both took a long time to conceive (#1 took 2 yrs and #2 took 14 months and 2 rounds of clomid) and I wonder about this time around.   I had my doctor test my progesterone levels at cycle day 20 (last Monday) and will find out when he gets back into the office on Tuesday if I need to supplement again when I get pg this time around.   My levels when ttc #2 were at a 9 and my doc said they should be closer to 20 for a good ouvlation and a chance at getting pg.   I had to take progesterone with both my pg's for the first trimester and hope I don't have to this time around- since I've lost all this weight and who knows how it's affected my hormones!

Last cycle, I spotted for a day and then knew af was coming and my cycle was 28 days.   This time around, I spotted for 3 days and af finally came on cd 29.   Is it normal to spot a few days before af comes?  It's been so long since I've had a normal period (I had the IUD for 2 1/2 yrs with hardly any period at all) so I can't remember what is normal or not.   The IUD gave me very light if any periods and then I was pg for 9 months before that, so it's been a while since af has come to visit me!  lol

Thanks!!

I tired for 3 months once and nothing happened. I went back on BC and tried again a few months later and got pg on my second cycle without BC. I thought it would take at least 6 months since nothing happened the first time we tried ..so it was a big surprise.

My first DD I got pregnant on our 2nd IUI - we had never tried naturally  - decided to get all sorts of testing done before trying since prior to to RNY I had pretty sever PCSO (after RNY started getting AF every 28 days - amazing!) - found out DH has low sperm counts so went straight to a fertility clinic.

After DD was born my period returned in November - found out I was pregnant again in February (SURPRISE!), sadly miscarried in April. My period returned to normal around July and found out I was pregnant again in October (on our own!!). I just had my 2nd DD on June 18th. I am hoping that next baby will only take a few months as well. I have high expectations now! LOL! I will start freaking out if it has been 3 months and no BFP!

Good Lord girl already thinking about the next one. LOL Wow Bella must be letting you get some rest at night...I know at the beginning with Nylah I said I was never having ANYMORE. Well that was mostly because of the 70 stiches!! How's the weight loss going? Time really goes by FAST...I have 4 weeks left...YIKES -SCARED!

And for the question to the post went off BC in June 07 was pregnant in July 07. This time went off BC in October 08 was pregnant in November 08. I wasn't even off the BC for a full month and BAM. My periods are right on 28 days, I ALWAYS know when I ovulate so I just tell DH it's time. Maybe next time we will try for a boy - nah I think two is good in the current econonomic times.
