For those with more than one child did TTC for number 2 take about the same time as it did for the first child?

First baby 10 cycles. Second I had 4 cycles then a M/C and then 3 more after sitting one out to heal. So about the same amount of time overall with the time lost from m/c.

First and second (but second ended in miscarriage) was first try while being monitored by a clinic, so I had the best advice possible regarding timing.
I'm now on cycle 3 post loss.

second we're about to head into our third cycle. Second cycle was an early cp. May skip this cycle because of it.

Interesting how many mamas got pregnant on the first cycle with their first. We were fortunate enough to conceive on our first cycle too with LO and will soon be TTC for #2 so I'm loving this thread!

LO1 was a surprise, and I was pregnant 3 months after my wedding. LO2 was planned and happened during my first cycle.

Baby #1 was a surprise. We got pregnant with #2 on our first cycle, which also was a surprise to me.

1st: 23 or so cycles with 2 CPs + 1 IUI to a sticky baby?
2nd: 3 cycles after my period returned PP. i joke that when L was born he knocked whatever was holding up conception right out.

First baby first try.
Second baby was conceived cycle 7 but I hadn't fully weaned our son until midway through cycle 6 so that may have had a hand in things. Turns out I'm one of those women who can't get pregnant nursing. Bummed me out at the time but now I am honestly so relieved. My nips are killing me!!!
Good luck!

First baby took 4 months post loss.
Currently trying for baby deux, so cycle 3 now? AF still hasn't regulated so I have no idea when I O. So annoying, but I don't want to stress myself out with OPKs again so we'll see.

First baby took 12 months of NTNP then one month of actively trying. This baby was conceived 8 months PP, while EBF, I think the 3rd cycle after my period came back. We were definitely not trying, but not preventing either. After NTNP didn't work last time, I thought we would have to actually try.

First baby, 12 months of long cycles (not sure how many aymore). Got pregnant on my 3rd cycle of clomid.
Second baby, ntnp for 10 months while breastfeeding (no af). AF came back immediately after weaning. Got pregnant on the 3rd cycle, but it ended as a cp. Took a month off from trying and got pregnant again cycle 5. I was in better shape and started ovulating regularly on my own (which wasnt happening when we were ttc the first time), so the meds werent needed.

Once I started charting and everything, #1 took 2 cycles. We were ntnp for a while before that. #2 took 2 cycles as well with charting.
