Getting pregnant for the second time

Jessyro · January 2012

I got pregnant very easily using an ovulation kit when I was 29. I am planning on starting to try again in 2 months, but I am 33 this time. I know everyone is different, but from your experience, will it be much harder the second time around? I plan on using an ovulation kit again because my cycles are irregular. Thanks!

I have PCOS and used an RE to get pg with DD #1. DD #2 was a surprise, so it was much easier to get pg with #2 than it was with #1.

Good luck, and if you'd like to know for sure when your ovulating you can sign up for fertility friend to chart your temps.

There is no possible way for anyone to give you an answer that will be accurate for you beyond it might take longer, it might not. That's the most you will be able to take away from this.

GhostMonkey, I seem to always agree with you. You tell people how it really is.

We got pg on the first cycle with #1 and #2. There was no difference for us at all.

Yep.

It took 9 cycles TTC # 1, currently on our 8th for TTC # 2.

This is definitely one of those "every BODY is different" situations. We have somewhat the same experience though... Got lucky in the first month trying with #1; we'll see how long #2 takes!

Good luck!

Yeah....everyone's experience is different.

It took 3 cycles to get PG with DS

I'm currently on cycle #6 this time around.

it took us only cycle 1 for baby 1 and 2 and now we are on cycle 5 for baby 3..it all depends plus im older now so it could change. good luck

Agreed, everyone is different. I'm also 33, and I became pregnant by surprise in Feb, had a late 2nd tri loss in June, then had a BFP on our 2nd cycle trying again. Are you BF? That can make your cycles wonky.

We had unprotected sex and wound up pregnant with #2.

We were not trying but at the same time not preventing. I was not temping, using OPK or doing anything like that.

WIth DD 1 I was temping and charting and it took 2 cycles post m/c. But we also got pregnant the very first month we were trying the cycle I ended up m/c'ing.

So, for me it was easier. But really it was pretty easy for us both times.

We got pregnant immediately without really trying with DD. This time we're on month 5 of trying and I'm still only 23. My body just hasn't adjusted all the way from having DD and things are still wacky.
