Results not included

Last summer I was reading a forum post in a pagan site I am part of. The person was talking about a spell they used and their results.
I decided to see what it would do for me. 5 months later I am still waiting. I know there is no time frame for a spell, some work faster then others, and some you need to do more then once.
But, there have been 2 other people in this 5 months time frame who on that forum both said they used this spell and got results within a few weeks.
Since I followed the "recipe" to the letter, I would have to guess I either have a bigger hurdle to get past or else the results were so subtle I missed it.
This was one of those spells where timing is everything, and I won't have the chance to try it again for another few months.
