start trying?

When did you decide to start trying for your second baby? Or was it unplanned?

  • We never used birth control between number 1 and 2. I got pregnant a month after fully weaning, when DS was 7 months old.

    We used birth control after number 2 and got pregnant within 3 months of going off bcp, when DD was 10 months old.

  • We had been talking about number 2 for a fw months and then we didn't think it would happen for a while but then we were pregnant the weekend of our anniversary. So she was planned but unexpected but we are happy because they are two years apart almost exactly.

  • We started trying when my DD was 9 months old. We got pregnant the next month, so they will be about 18 months apart :) Good luck.

    We stopped preventing when DS was 9.5 months old. I got pregnant with our daughter that month, so BFP when DS was about 10.5 months old. We were shocked but happy!

    We never prevented. I got my period back 4 months pp and got my BFP when DS was 10.5 months. I used OPKs after my period returned.
  • I stopped BC at 5mo pp and got pregnant when DS was 7mo. The 16mo age difference is working well hopefully we can be that lucky with our third. Good luck!

  • My ds2 was a happy surprise. Nursing and no period. I didn't realize it until I was 12 weeks along.
  • We never prevented. Despite exclusively breastfeeding, I got my first pp period when DD was 3.5 months old. We got pregnant the next cycle, so DD and DS will be 13.5 months apart.
    Mommy to N (3), J (2), and C (10 months). LO4 is due in mid-September.
  • DD1 and DS are 27 months apart. We were not exactly trying but we certainly not taking precautions. I stopped breastfeeding in October and I was pregnant in November.

    DD1 and DD2 are 19 months apart: I was told that I would never have another baby after DD1 due to thyroid cancer. I was breastfeeding, never got my period, hypothyroid, training for a marathon, and had unprotected sex ONCE when I got pregnant with DD2.

    My daughters were never "planned" but they were certainly meant to be.

  • We have been trying for a few months now. I was never on BCP because 1, I don't believe in it, and 2, we knew we wanted our babies pretty close in age.

    I have noticed (at least in my circle of friends/acquaintances) that if you go off BCP, you get pregnant faster (like your first try). I'm pretty jealous of those who got pregnant their first try; kind of thought it would happen for us, but nope. Sorry to be a whiner...

    I never went back on birth control, we where just using protection when I was fertile (tracking on Fertility friend), and planning on starting properly when DS#1 was 18 months (Periods came back at 7 months), but we took a chance at Chirstmas (DS#1 was 13 months) and here we are, I never thought I would get pregnant so quickly as it took 6 months the first time, but I always wanted kids close together so it worked out great Smile
