When i got pregnant with my daughter it was totally not planned. So Im wondering how long it took to get pregnant with number 1 and 2 and even 3 or 4. We are thinking about trying again but since the last time was a huge surprise Im wondering what I can do to help prepare my body to get pregnant again?

Re: how long?
#1 shocked and surprised us...
#2 - 2 months - we were foolish and I had major Catholic guilt that we shouldn't say no to the possibility of another baby...
#3 - 1 week off of the ring, and still using trojan condoms
I guess drink the water in our house?
15 months with DD#1
Oopsie this time.
They were right when they warned me that nothing makes you more fertile than having a baby.
#1 first cycle trying, miscarriage at 9 weeks
#2 DS - 5 months really trying
#3 this one - 2 months trying
#1 - second month of trying
#2 - first month of trying
29 cycles (1 missed m/c, 1 lost twin, 8 iui's and 3 IVF's to conceive #1)
4 months trying on our own for #2
HUGE difference!!
#1 - tried for 10 months on our own, then 5 treated cycles, including 2 IUI's
#2 - first month we tried, still a little shocked that it actually happened that fast!
#1 - 2 years and many many fertility treatments including IVF.
#2 - caught the first ovulation post-weaning even though the doctors told us it was all but impossible and that we needed to head back for IVF ASAP if we wanted another child.
Bottom line is that it's NORMAL for it to take up to 6 months.
Best thing you can do to successfully conceive is to know your cycles and be aware of when you're ovulating (and of course have sex daily during the right time which is the 3-5 days prior to ovulation and 1-2 days after).
Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.
#1 first month of trying
#2 after 3 months of trying
#1 - 5 months
#2 - 5 years and had to do IVF/ICSI because we were diagnosed with MFI, PCOS, and egg factor. Was told "medically speaking" IVF was the only option from here on out
#3 - Just found out. TOTAL SURPRISE BFP! Just had my miracle 4.5 months ago and this blew our minds. We were planning on using our embryo that is frozen this summer actually.
My best advice - start keeping up with your periods and when you have sex. My doc told us 6 months TTC after a second child is perfectly normal but after that you may need to come in to do a little testing to check for ovulation and all. Get on prenatals and don't stress too much. Leave the stress for when there is actually issues you need to deal with lol! Best of luck!
