I'm just curious...not even planning on TTC #2 for a very long time, but I just wanted to know. If so, what was your infertility problem?

Re: Anyone on here gotten pregnant on their own after having to do ART with their first?
And actually, I replied to one of your other posts recently but it got deleted after I had spent like 5 minutes writing it so I got ticked and didn't type it again
Short version of what I was going to say - I have a crappy AMH (.7 when I was tested at age 27) so we went back to the RE when DD was 6 mo old. I also had a high risk pregnancy with no. 1 (bedrest from week 22 to 36 when I delivered, in hospital at 31 weeks for PTL etc) and while I know our situation wasn't the same, I was scared about TTC again out of fear the same thing would happen while I had a toddler at home! We decided to go for it anyway out of fear that I wouldn't have any eggs left and we got a surprise BFP that month. I would give yourself until your LO is around 6 mo and then start thinking more seriously about TTC again. I know it's lame, but even though we are both 'young' age wise, our AMH is showing that we are getting 'old' fertility wise.

I had one blocked tube and hypothyroidism (discovered during the IF work-up but treated with meds). DH had low morph. We got pg with #1 after 19 months, and on our second clomid/IUI. When DS was 6 months old, I weaned him from BFing. We were going to head back to the RE when he was 8 months old to get going on the testing, etc before starting again with treatments right around when he turned a year. Well, after weaning, I never got AF, so I took a test (DS was just over 7 months old) and it was a BFP.
Then with #3, we started trying when DD was a year old. It took 6 months for a BFP, but was a m/c. Then another 4 months and we got another BFP, and are due in just under 4 weeks.
It is possible! But if you don't want to get pg, then definitely use something for protection - DH and I didn't think it would happen for us (but we were open to it, obviously), and one weekend away after I stopped BFing got us our DD!
Yes. It took DH and I almost 3 years of TTC, including charting for almost a year, 4 medicated IUIs, a lap, a m/c, 3 IVFs and an FET to have DS. I got AF back when he was 9 months old, had 2 cycles, and then didn't get another. I thought my cycles were just wacked out so went to get b/w and discovered I was almost 7 weeks pg.
We've always been kind of unexplained...although they found little things wrong w/ us, we never knew whether that was THE cause. DH has low morph (3%), I had stage II/III endo.

my diagnosis was ovulatory dysfunction, my husband was perfect. it took about 9 months/6 treatment cycles and ultimately IVF for me to conceive our boys.
after they were born, i breastfed until they weaned... which was when they were 2! i got my first post-partum period when they were 20 months old and started a 28-day cycle, which i hadn't had prior to getting pregnant (but did have prior to starting oral contraceptives at age 20). i had 5 textbook cycles and then my period was late- we had been avoiding by using condoms when i thought i was ovulating.
there was one night when i was 2 days post ovulation and we had unprotected sex- and that was it. i took a HPT on CD 30 and it was positive. at first we were shocked- we had not yet decided if we wanted a 3rd, so it wasn't welcome news. now we are excited to complete our family with a baby girl.
good luck!
