1st Trimester

2nd Time moms, (or more) Come in!

Just wondering how many cycles it took to conceive your 2nd or 3rd child compared to your first? I thought it might be interesting to know!

  • It took us 2 years to concieve DD. It only took 2 months to concieve this little LO in my belly. Such a huge difference!

  • Got pg with DD #1 6 weeks after stopping BC, so no cycles. My periods did not return regularly PP, but I had 3 PP AFs, one in May, one in July and one in September. BFN on Thanksgiving, BFP 12/15.

  • First month trying both times (I charted for 2-3 months before each one)

  • First cycle with all three.  Last one was an opps so that doesn't really count...

  • Three cycles both times.

    This time I charted (first didnt) and I'm pretty sure we would have got it first time if our timing was right and my temps hadnt screwed with me the first two cycles ;)

  • DS took 3 cycles.

    We decided to try for #2 starting in early 2010. We got pregnant after 2 cycles but suffered a chemical pregnancy.

    This LO is Cycle #6.

  • #1 What seemed like forever...13 months

    #2 Magically...since we can't even remember when we had sex in Dec aside from Christmas.  But we were not actively trying yet so I guess cycle 1. 

  • This is my fourth pregnancy since I had a molar pregnancy before this, but we have gotten positive tests on the first cycle for each pregnancy.

  • We conceived Sarah our first month TTC.  This was our 8th cycle trying for baby #2.  We used Preseed this month, and it apparently did the trick.  That said, I also suspect I have fibroids (I was supposed to see my midwife about it on Wednesday) and I wonder if that's part of the reason it took so long this time.

  • I got PG the 1st time we tried for #1.

    I got PG the 2nd time the month afterI had my 1st PP real period. I had a light period 3 months PP but it wasn't anything huge.  But #2 I also had stopped breastfeeding the month before.

  • #1 - DD was an OOPS! we were only married 4 months so only up to 4 cycles.

    #2- 1st cycle!! This LO was PLANNED!!

  • we conceived 1.5 months after going off bc with our son.  This time, we were not trying but I had gone off bc a couple months prior because I thought it would help me lose weight.  We had unprotected sex only 2.  one time was right after my period and the other time I was tipsy but still thought we were in the clear.  Guess not!
  • We were not trying but we weren't preventing with either... we had so many friends that have had difficulty getting pregnant that we thought it took more time and effort... guess we are just overly fertile.
