Any natural luck TTC 2nd baby?

in Trying to Get Pregnant
We had our miracle femara baby almost 8 weeks ago...and I know it seems crazy to think about TTC again already, but I'm 31 and it took 6 years for our little man. We are going to give it a year of just trying naturally without all of the added stress of charting/medication/etc. My question is this...have any of you ladies had any luck trying the natural route after giving birth initially? I have PCOS would just be interested to hear some success stories :
Dx with PCOS in 2004; TTC #1 since 2006. 6 failed rounds of Clomid, 1 failed round of injectibles, innumerable failed cycles of herbs, accupuncture, etc. FINALLY got BFP on 10/4/2012 after 2 rounds of Femara Can't wait to be a mommy! Pregnancy Ticker

    Charting is just about as natural as it gets. Really, what's more natural than knowing your body? I'm still trying to get pregnant, so I don't have any advice for you. Good luck

    Congrats on your LO!

     

    No advice on TTC with PCOS I get what you mean about not wanting to wait. Although it didn't take as long for me, it took 13-14 months to get pregnant with my daughter. 

    We started trying again in February, and after another loss/D&C, we still haven't been able to (re)try again because my body hasn't regulated yet. It's frustrating. So I say go for it.

    Not sure what you're asking about trying the natural route after "giving birth initially" but I'd probably hold off a little bit more to give your body time to heal from giving birth, but no one says you have to wait a year to try again. GL!

    Sorry, that wasn't as clear as I intended! I just meant any luck getting pregnant without fertility drugs after having to use them initially. I've heard some success stories about getting pregnant naturally with PCOS after initially needing assistance.

    And yes, I agree that it's wonderful natural to know your body, and that charting helps you to do that...I just meant that after 6 years of TTC 1 we don't want to have to analyze everything for a while. Just a short break from it after baby. Once we start really trying again it will be my first step.

    I've never been pregnant, but wanted to throw my two cents in about charting. I know it is a pain, but because you've gone through so much to get your first LO congrats, by the way!, if it were me, I would continue charting because I would want to know if I am ovulating again. Obviously, it would be difficult with a newborn, but that's just my opinion. Good luck TFAS!

    ETA: No brackets on mobile? Okay, then.

    Not trying, barely preventing until we finish renovating. Assuming we ever finish.

    There are so many stories like that. I would ask on the parenting boards especially.

    I really do not understand it but it is like a clock resets for some women and although they struggled to conceive their first child, they had an easy time with subsequent children.

    I understand where you are coming from which is why we always start right away because it takes a while to get a baby that sticks. I have always wanted 2U2 but it has never happened. However, the 3.5y and 2.5y spacing between my boys is great too.

    GL to you!!
