Ah, okay, I must have been confused.
Good luck, DH and I used Calender & ovulation test and it took us 11 months.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Back again...

Why are you under pressure? Who's pressuring you? Tell them to take a hike. Stressing out, won't help.
We didn't tell anyone who wasn't online that we were TTC. We didn't want anyone giving me any greif about it. I'm really glad we decided to because it took so long. I didn't want any negative or smart comments because I know how hurtful family can be even more so when they are trying to be.
I couldn't get good temp readings regularly enough and my left ovary doesn't work so don't base your length of time TTC on me by any means!

Yeah, we get pregnant easy too, but some couples need all the help they can get.

It is very individual.
Some gals have a thicker zona pellucida for sperm to get through than others, some guys don't have really aggressive sperm or high counts. It takes more than one sperm to do the job, they die in mass trying to get into the egg, but each one weakens the protective coat on the egg, and eventually the winning sperm gets through.
A lady who is healthy, with a regular cycle of ovulation, and no other hormone issues, may need to also consider her hubby's sperm count and health too.
Here is a tidbit of an article that talks a bit on it:

Increasing Male Fertility and Longevity
By Dr. Ed Rosick
The past 50 years have seen some amazing changes in the world. In 1953 a man who was 40 to 50 years old was already considered 'old' and well on his way to retirement. However, in 2003, being 40 isn't thought of by most (and especially those who have hit their fourth decade of life) as being old. It's now common to see 40-year-old men starting a 2nd or 3rd career, playing in professional sports or even being first-time fathers. Recent studies have indicated that the number of men aged 35 to 54 who are fathering children is up 20% in the past 20 years.
It's certainly heartening to realize that being past 40 doesn't mean a man can't enjoy the special pleasure of being a father. However, even in the 21st century, when the rules of aging are seemingly being rewritten on a daily basis, there are still some hard biological facts that all men must deal with. For those men who are trying to become a father, one of these facts is the decline in both the quality and the quantity of their sperm.
Infertility is not just a female 'problem'
Most couples will agree that one of the happiest times in their lives as husband and wife is when they first learn they're going to be parents. In fact, most couples take for granted their ability to have children and use birth control measures until they're ready to be parents. However, the truth is in the United States, at least 15% of all couples have great difficulty conceiving a child.1 While it's now known that in 30% to 40% of these cases this inability to conceive is due to male infertility, there is still a common misconception among both the lay population and the medical community that infertility is primarily a female 'problem.'
