What is "trouble" trying to conceive?

We all have different thresholds for what we would consider "trouble." Most of us on the board would interpret that to mean that you have a diagnosis, such as PCOS or symptoms, such as irregular cycles that will make getting pregnant more challenging. Some people have no symptoms or diagnosis, but have been trying to conceive for over a year without success, or 6 months if they are over 35 years old. Some people have had multiple miscarriages. And some people have other reasons for being here.

You might want to reconsider joining us if your idea of "trouble" is not getting pregnant after only 3 or 4 months of trying. We all remember being there, and yes, we know that it is incredibly frustrating to get that BFN month after month. But please keep in mind, it can take a normal, healthy couple up to a year to conceive. "Impatience is not a fertility issue." -RG. That being said, many of us had our initial testing done before the year mark. Just know that if it comes back normal, you still have a chance that things will work on their own!
