Did it take anyone longer to TTC #2 (or 3, etc)?

I don't know why but I assumed getting pg with #2 would be easier because we already did it once (dumb, I know)...but now we are onto cycle 3, same # it took with DS.  Not really a big deal in the grand scheme of things, I know, but I'm just curious if it took other people as long or longer for subsequent babies.  TIA!

    Yes.  DS was on the first cycle, and we are on cycle #4 now.  I thought it would be just as easy for #2!!!

    It did for us.  4 months for DD.  For DS, it ended up taking us 16 months if you count from when we started not preventing (which is basically 6 weeks post partum after DD), 7 months if you count from when I got my first AF, and 4 months if you count from when I completely stopped breastfeeding (although by that time I was only down to one feeding a day anyway).  I'm not ever sure how many months to count since most of that time I didn't have AF yet!  Good luck!

    For us, yes! We are TTC #2.  With DS we weren't even trying and found out we were pregnant 3 mos after our wedding.  Now, we've tried for a few months, I did find out I was pregnant in Feb., but lost the baby just after.  It is so weird, though.  I don't know why I assumed it would be so easy again! Goes to show that each time is so completely different, I guess.  Good luck!

    we're on cycle 4 for #3 now and this was the same cycle we got pregnant for ds2, so we'll see how it turns out.

    GL to you!

    DD#1 took 1 month

    DD#2 took 5 months of active trying. We had several months of excellent timing. The month we concieved we actually had sex 3 days before ovulation, so I thought that month was out.

    I thought it would take longer with DD, since DS was cycle #1. Surprise, pregnant again cycle #1. We are very lucky!

    DS #1 was an accident.  It took us 4 months from when we stopped preventing to get pregnant with #2, but the first month we had sex everyday, I got pregnant. 

    I don't think I know when I ovulate :)

    Anyway, good luck to you!

    Ugh, yes.

    DS was 1st cycle (not really trying)

    #2 was 7 cycles. I charted cycles 5-7. I wasn't ovulating until day 19 or 20. I was way off.

    Good luck to you. I hope this is your month. But for us with DD it was the first month and with this baby it was the first month as well.

    Yep for us DD was conceived after 1 cycle. Here we are on cycle #3 as we try for baby #2.

    In between we also had a surprise bfp while TTA which unfortunately ended in a chemical.
