Two Under 2

How long did it take to conceive baby #2?

Hi!  My husband and I just started TTC #2 this cycle, and I was curious how long it took everyone to conceive baby #2.  It took 7 cycles for us for our first (I'm 33), but I've heard it's often easier for #2 because your body is "geared up" for pregnancy.  Any opinions on this?

 Our daughter is 9 months old now.  Thanks!

    number 2 was an accident...one time one month no period post DD...she was about 10/11 months old if I remember correctly so I guess you could also say it took us close to 10 months :)

  • I believe it can go either way. With that said, it took us about the same amount of time to get pg with #1 and #2 (3 cycles). However, #2 would have taken us much longer if I hadn't been charting (my cycles were all out of whack after I had DD#1)

    Good luck!

  • I've had 5 pregnancies.  Four of them were conceived in the first month of TTC, one cycle took 4 months.  We are TTC #3 now, we are on month #2, but my cycle last month was really messed up from coming off BC.

  • In my previous marriage, we tried for 6 years. Had all the testing, and he was fine, I was not. 

    Divorced.  Married current husband, BFP after 3 months.

    Had baby and breastfed for 10 months before my first period came. Had 2 cycles and got pregnant with DS.

  • This board probably isn't the best place to ask since people here likely didn't take long to conceive--hence why they have kids close in age. First tri might be better to get an overall answer.

    To answer your question--we didn't ttc #2. One night of pull and pray was all it took. Wink

    I was 26 when I got pregnant with #1, 27 with #2.

  • Our very first pg ended in miscarriage, but we weren't trying, weren't preventing, and it happened pretty quickly on a super long cycle..

    2 months of charting, OPKs etc for DS1

    1 month of not trying, not preventing plus 3 months of charting, OPKs etc for DS2

    We used the pull out method in between 1 and 2 which works really well for us.

  • DS1 was unplanned. This baby was our first month.

     

  • #1 - 20 months (but only 4 months after the surgery)

    #2 - 5 months

    I'd say the surgery worked pretty well.


     
  • First cycle of not preventing, both times. Agree with KC though that the results of this board may seem skewed. All my IRL friends and family took longer with #2 than #1, which is why we decided to not prevent again so early...and got KU right away
  • 2 months for DS1
    1 month for DS2
    1 month for DS3

  • 18 months. We had an easy time with our first but the second took fertility treatments. It was very frustrating because you would have thought it would have happened like it did for our first. Was referred to RE quickly.
  • Thanks so much for all the feedback, ladies!

    I'm excited to post that we got a BFP - first cycle of trying after DD was born in March!

    Guess I'll be on this board pretty often... Terrified and overwhelmed. Tongue Tied

    #2 - Got my IUD less than 1 week after IUD removal - didn't expect it that soon! 

     

    Congrats on your BFP!!  

    Waiting for #3!
