Hubby and I took 10 months to conceive, it is recommended you try for atleast 12 months as this is the avg for how long it can take couples. Having said that, if you have issues with your cycle and have been trying for say 9-10 months or so it may be worth going to docs. I have irregular cycles and so went to the docs, they put us forward to fertility services for tests, but it is quite a long road, I think you have to try for around 3 years before they will do ivf or another form of artificial insemination. Sorry didn't mean to go off point! X
