How long to get PG with DC1 vs. DC2?

Grasim · August 2009

I realize that everyone is different, but just out of curiousity, how long did it take you to get pregnant with your first child vs. with your second child?? And were you "trying" both times, with charting, etc?

We got a hole in one both times.

We were trying with #1. We were not so much trying with #2 but had unprotected sex once and I got pregnant.

DD1 - 8 months.

PG#2 - 3 months.

DD2 - 2 months.

PG#4 - 1st cycle.

Baby #3 - TTC Cycle #4.

It took us a year to get pregnant with DD. That included fertility treatments because I didn't ovulate on my own.

This time, I got pregnant after my first postpartum period. It may have taken 18 months to happen, but it looks like my first pregnancy "fixed" me.

It took us the same amount of time...4 months.

Baby #1 - 3 cycles. I charted, used the CBEFM, Preseed, stood on my head, prayed to the goddess of fertility. You name it, I did it.

Baby #2 - 1 cycle. I did nothing. Our timing wasn't even that great and I was hoping to not get PG that cycle since I didn't want 2 under 2. I guess it was meant to be.

pg#1- 3 cycles using charting

pg#2- one cycle (not trying, had an oops).

first shot both times which works out well being a teacher since i'll have another spring baby and have the summer off again after my maternity leave

2 years with the help of fertility treatments for #1.

3 months of not trying and not preventing with #2.

DC1- 1st cycle, had no idea about charting, just pulled the goalie

pregnancy #2- pretty much an oops, we sadly lost this baby

We're currently on Cycle 4 of TTC #2 (although 2 of those cycles we didn't try very hard). Still no charting.

The first was a surprise. The second took us 2 months.

Taylor44 · August 2009

Both were on the first try, and both times we were trying.

DD#1 - charting, 1st cycle Pregnancy #2 - This is more complicated, we wanted to TTC in Jan '09, but I didn't get my 1st pp period until I completely weaned DD in May '09. I then had one 50 day cycle, where I was charting, but I don't think I ovulated, but on the 2nd cycle, I got a BFP on CD 47. So, in a way it was 7 months, but really it was only 2 cycles.
