Moms with 2+ kids...Getting Pregnant

rlyttle · April 2013

So how easy/hard was it to get pregnant with your babies? The first time for me was very easy. I know everyone is different, but I still worry about how easy/hard it's going to be the 2nd time around. What has your experience been?

First try with DS. Took 14 months with DD. Thought it would be just as easy the 2nd time, but ended up being totally different.

With number 1 we got pregnant the second month of trying, with number 2 we were 'just seeing what happens' and got pregnant the first month. I would say both times it was easy but I know it can vary.

Second try with DD and first try with DS. I thought it would take a little while so we started a little early. Now they are 19 months instead of 2 years apart. Oh well.

I had issues the first time took us almost 2 years. The second time took us about 5 months, but without all the infertility stuff I did the first time.

sschwege · April 2013

I was charting both times, so I know our timing was good. Took 7 months with our first and 4 months with our second. It was quicker the second time despite the fact that I was still BFing.

My first time took 4 months and the second time took 1 month...

I guess I should be religious about taking my birth control after this second one or I might be pregnant after one day or one week LOL

First cycle trying with both my kids...guess I'm a fertile myrtle.

With DD it happened our first month. With this pregnancy it took 2 months. A lot quicker than I thought that it would happen!

DD was a surprise and we have been TTC #2 since Aug 2012

penguincrazy · April 2013

took 2 weeks to get pregnant with #1, 4 months with #2, and 2 weeks again with #3.

mel72 · April 2013

29 cycles for first and 4 (on our own for DS2) still shocked : )

amatistajoy · April 2013

Both on the first try... Makes me wonder how we went 7 years without a surprise!

g8trkim · April 2013

We got pregnant the 2nd month with DC1 and the 6th month with DC2. If you got pregnant without issues the first time, the second time should be fine too but keep in mind healthy couples can still take a year or longer. I know people who tried for years with #1 then got pregnant quickly with #2. It's mostly luck IMO. Best wishes!

It took 7 months the first time and first try the second.

Gastro:
For us it was the very first try, both times...

This for us too.

me too, except I had a miscarriage before DD, so it added a few months on from when were able to try. I don't chart but I noticed after my period returned pp (which took 11 months since I was breastfeeding) it was way more predictable than it was before.

aandg · April 2013

#1 took about a year and a half with 2m/c's

#2 was the first month not preventing

We were very shocked that #2 happened so quickly!

logoz80 · April 2013

With #1 it took 6 months, basically for me to realize I had a long cycle and when I ovulated. #2 happened quickly since I knew the timeline better.

pinkcallalily · April 2013

It took 3 1/2 years and IVF for our first.

Our second pregnancy was a complete shock, but we hadn't prevented since our son was born. We lost this baby.

Our 3rd pregnancy took 4 months.

rosesandpeonies · April 2013

took 15 months with some intervention the first time, second time it was one time without officially "trying"

BeanNut · April 2013

#1 was unplanned and #2 literally took one try.

kmh2201 · April 2013

Took almost a year with #1. For #2, we weren't trying, but we weren't preventing anything. Got PG within 2 months. I think part of it took so long with #1 because of the stress of trying to get PG. I wasn't focused on worrying about getting PG the second time around. GL

ksyknelvr73 · April 2013

I am currently pregnant with my hopeful #2 and it took us one cycle of trying. I was shocked b/c it took us months with DS. I kind of still am in shock actually.

This was us too. With #1, it took 1 year. With #2, it took 1 month.

heyitsme · April 2013

Got pregnant with DD on the first try. The 2nd try for DS. 6 years apart, if that matters (I was 24 with DD, 30 with DS).

Cindyflo · April 2013

I have a 2.5 yr old & almost 2 yr old..both were very easy to concieve. We have been TTC for 7 months now, so 3rd time seems to be a little harder!

Arielle27 · April 2013

It took 7 months with DS (#1) after getting off the pill.

It took three months with DD (#2) after weaning DS completely.

This time it took three months after going off the pill.

kcisthebombdotcom · April 2013

#1 got bfp on cycle three

#2 got bfp two weeks after deciding to use pull and pray for birth control. Lol.

we tried for a third for five months but then put off ttc.

It's really hard to gauge how your experience will be based on others. Plenty of people get pregnant easily the first (or even second or third) then develop infertility. My grandmother had six kids but wanted eight-but never got pregnant after the sixth even though she was still young and healthy. Some people go through ivf to conceive then get a surprise bfp for their second while using protection. Fertility is a really odd, unpredictable thing.

carlab44 · April 2013

I got pregnant the first month trying with DD, and the same with pregnancy #2. Pregnancy #2 ended in a miscarriage. Took 6 months for DS.

kaswanson · April 2013

We got pregnant the second month both times. Good luck!
