My fertility SUCKS... but I will say, it was much faster time #2, after a live birth. So fingers crossed it'll be faster for the next time (4th pregnancy here we come) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-it-took-a-while-to-conceive-1#post-2148677 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 18:44:38 +0000 hellobeeboston 2148677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We conceived much faster the second time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-it-took-a-while-to-conceive-1#post-2148675 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 18:33:13 +0000 mrsrain 2148675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for your replies!

I have PCOS and had very irregular and infrequent periods before I got pregnant so I expected I would not even see a period again in the first year, especially while I am EBF. However I got my first PP period when DD was 6 months and breastfeeding is still very frequent. I take that as a good sign. We're NTNP, but I still think it's unlikely I'll get pregnant soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-it-took-a-while-to-conceive-1#post-2148615 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 16:35:33 +0000 BandDmommy 2148615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like your body resets after pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-it-took-a-while-to-conceive-1#post-2148614 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 16:31:23 +0000 lilteacherbee 2148614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#1 took us 13 months of actively TTC including a miscarriage. I was completely shocked when I got a BFP on our first month of NTNP for #2. My LO was only 12 months old and I'd only had my cycle back since he was 11 months.</p> <p>It definitely happens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-it-took-a-while-to-conceive-1#post-2148611 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 16:22:45 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2148611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You just never know. There are a lot on here who conceived #2 faster. If you count ntnp (forget months of pulling out method on top of that) and actually ttc with OPKs it took over s year to conceive #2 whole #1 was one month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-it-took-a-while-to-conceive-1#post-2148602 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 16:12:03 +0000 mrsrain 2148602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did it take a while to conceive #2?</p> <p>It took us 15 months (and one miscarriage) to successfully conceive my daughter. She turns 1 in May and we have just decided to start TTC #2 in August. I am excited, but also nervous that it could take a while again. What was your experience? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-overcome-secondary-infertility-after-years-of-ttc-share-your-story-cuz-i-need-some-hope#post-1939011 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 10:33:53 +0000 sarac 1939011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I'm going to post my story right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-2-just-the-next-thing-to-do#post-1858720 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 18:15:20 +0000 pmrlady 1858720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with snowjewelz, the main reason I would want 2 is so that they would be siblings who would hopefully be life long friends. I think I would regret it later in life if LO1 didn't have a sibling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-2-just-the-next-thing-to-do#post-1858276 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 14:41:09 +0000 snowjewelz 1858276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like the only reason I'm having 2 is to have siblings. I have a sibling, DH has siblings, so I guess I can't imagine life as an only child? But as LO #1 is getting closer to arriving, there are def a lot of realities that hit about having kids... Especially financially... So I think I can't say for sure until we're almost a year out w/ LO #1 to say we're sure whether we want #2 or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-2-just-the-next-thing-to-do#post-1858247 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 14:24:02 +0000 Cherrybee 1858247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Aimed: I've done exactly the same thing!! But then I realised that even that is looking forward - its like I always have to be accomplishing something, I can't just "be". Agh!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-2-just-the-next-thing-to-do#post-1858221 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 14:14:53 +0000 JennyD 1858221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. But I felt that before we started trying for #1. Like, I had it in my head when we decided to start a family that you have 2 kids. So I was determined to decided when we would have the first and when we would have the second at the same time we were deciding whether to even have kids! My husband finally said "why don't we just start with one and see how it goes", which opened a whole new world to me. It had honestly never occurred to me.</p> <p>Since then (like, as of the next day) we were pretty much one and done. But yes, I get what you mean! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-2-just-the-next-thing-to-do#post-1858197 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 14:01:11 +0000 LuLu Mom 1858197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me, the urge for number 2 came very strong. I would get teary eyed when holding babies because I knew I wanted another one, I thought of babies constantly even though we knew we needed to wait until late spring to try (due to obligations.) </p> <p>The only strange thing that happened is we planned on starting at the end of April after I was in a wedding and I then decided to hold off until June because I wanted May to enjoy summer. I have no regrets, I always wanted a spring baby, and #2 is coming in March. So the timing worked in our favor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-2-just-the-next-thing-to-do#post-1858196 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 14:00:03 +0000 sarah.clarisse 1858196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. I feel this way most of the time about having a #2. LO is 10.5 months and if we did try for a second it would probably be some time next year. I'm about 90% sure I'm done (and honestly that 10% is very much because it's just "what you do") so really I'm 100% sure something isn't missing with just 1 LO. DH always wanted 2 however he's been leaning more towards 1 and done since LO was born.<br /> Right now we are just enjoying LO and waiting until next year to revisit the topic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-2-just-the-next-thing-to-do#post-1858189 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 13:56:40 +0000 Aimed 1858189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: I know! I am trying to do this too. I am mentally making a "Things to Accomplish before Baby #2" list to try to focus on the now and nearer future and enjoying it!</p> <p>@MrsF: Totally understand, I didn't love pregnanacy and the newborn phase and now I know what to expect which is both better and worse! </p> <p>I know I would adore any #2, but I sometimes wonder if I am planning it just because it's the "done thing" </p>
