We never again used birth control after she was born, and I got pregnant again right after her third birthday.

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>
