Hi! My husband and I just started TTC #2 this cycle, and I was curious how long it took everyone to conceive baby #2. It took 7 cycles for us for our first (I'm 33), but I've heard it's often easier for #2 because your body is "geared up" for pregnancy. Any opinions on this?
Our daughter is 9 months old now. Thanks!
Re: How long did it take to conceive baby #2?
19 months for #1
1 month for #2
TTC#1 for 19 months with PCOS and MFI IUI#3 + injectables = BFP!!!! Beta#1-134(13dpiui) Beta #2-392(15dpiui)
#1 born December 2011
TTC#2 - Beta #1 -51@10dpo Beta#2 -1353 @16dpo
#2 born May 2013
TTC # 3 June 2014 BFP 12-1-14
#3 born August 2015
#4!!!!!!! due June 2017
4 months for number 1
number 2 was an accident...one time one month no period post DD...she was about 10/11 months old if I remember correctly so I guess you could also say it took us close to 10 months
#1, 3 months at age 37
#2, 3 months (DS was 5 mos old and EBF) once my period came back at age 38.
#1, 3 cycles (3 months) at age 28
#2, My cycle came back 3 months postpartum despite exclusively breastfeeding. We got pregnant on the next cycle, but that was 2 months later. (I o'ed on CD49). I'm 30 right now.
Third month, second cycle, but first ovulatory cycle (was temping). I'm also 33. It took one cycle with DS.
Good luck!
also my DS was 9 months
DS - 2 months.
First month with this one!
DS2(first child together) took 7 months
LO4 was conceived at 8wks pp.....one time with alcohol induced memory lapse on using protection. first night with grandma watching kids
11 cycles for DD1
DD2 was an susprise while on birth control.
my read shelf:
I believe it can go either way. With that said, it took us about the same amount of time to get pg with #1 and #2 (3 cycles). However, #2 would have taken us much longer if I hadn't been charting (my cycles were all out of whack after I had DD#1)
Good luck!
In my previous marriage, we tried for 6 years. Had all the testing, and he was fine, I was not.
Divorced. Married current husband, BFP after 3 months.
Had baby and breastfed for 10 months before my first period came. Had 2 cycles and got pregnant with DS.
5 months for #1
1 month for #2

This board probably isn't the best place to ask since people here likely didn't take long to conceive--hence why they have kids close in age. First tri might be better to get an overall answer.
To answer your question--we didn't ttc #2. One night of pull and pray was all it took.
I was 26 when I got pregnant with #1, 27 with #2.
3 months for DS1
1 month for DS2
Thanks for all the input, ladies!
I am still breastfeeding, but I have been charting and my cycles are somewhat back to normal. Now gotta endure the 2ww...
Thank you!
#1 - 19 cycles with iui.
#2 - weaned from bfing and never got a pp af. So one cycle, I guess! DS was 7 months when I got my BFP.
#3 - 11 months with one loss in there. Started trying when #2 was 12 months, but we had been TTA after I weaned at 7 months.
2 months of charting, OPKs etc for DS1
1 month of not trying, not preventing plus 3 months of charting, OPKs etc for DS2
We used the pull out method in between 1 and 2 which works really well for us.
#1 - 20 months (but only 4 months after the surgery)
#2 - 5 months
I'd say the surgery worked pretty well.
2 months for DS1
1 month for DS2
1 month for DS3
Thanks so much for all the feedback, ladies!
I'm excited to post that we got a BFP - first cycle of trying after DD was born in March!
Guess I'll be on this board pretty often... Terrified and overwhelmed.
#1 - 6 months
#2 - Got my IUD less than 1 week after IUD removal - didn't expect it that soon!
Congrats on your BFP!!
