I don't know how it is for other ladies who decide to try for a baby, but in my case, the minute we decided, I suddenly wanted a baby straight away. I wanted it to happen quickly.
I started to go on TTC (trying to conceive) websites simply to get tips as to how to get it to happen quickly. Unfortunately, I am the type of person who gets addicted to web forums. Before I could say "ovualtion kit" I was checking the forums several times a day.
I can honestly say that I really wish that I had never done this. I become obsessive, and every month that ticked by, I become convinced that something was wrong with me. These websites have every kind of ttc lady on there from the young, lithe 22 year old who falls really quickly (and tells everyone about it) to the 30-something who has PCOS and a partner with abnormal sperm. The "actively trying" boards are fast moving and get posted on every minute of the day. Therefore, on any given day, you get a girls posting their "BFP"s (Big Fat Positive) amongst posts of girls who have been waiting anything from 3-34 months for their positive pregnancy test.
After 4 months, I was convinced that there was something wrong with me. Then I had a period only 16 days after my last one. I went to the doctor.
