What OPKs did you use? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ttc-2-and-how-long-did-it-take/page/2#post-1964597 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 15:41:34 +0000 Rockies11 1964597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SunnyFarmMama: I was using opks. For months I was getting almost positives around the time of ovulation, and then I finally got a positive, we did it that day, and I was pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ttc-2-and-how-long-did-it-take/page/2#post-1964594 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 15:39:45 +0000 SunnyFarmMama 1964594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rockies11: how did you know you weren't ovulating and how you were when you finally started? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ttc-2-and-how-long-did-it-take/page/2#post-1964577 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 15:14:28 +0000 Rockies11 1964577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SunnyFarmMama: I was (and stilll am) bfing - it took til she was a year old to ovulate, even though I was having periods. We got pregnant on the first ovulation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ttc-2-and-how-long-did-it-take/page/2#post-1964534 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 14:17:06 +0000 SunnyFarmMama 1964534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Update on our TTC front: now on cycle #2. AF was due yesterday or today according to my period tracker apps but she hasn't arrived. I've had two BFNs in the past few days so I feel like I'm out but I'm not saying for sure till AF arrives. I'm worried since I'm still BFing DS it's causing a delay. He will be 1 in a couple weeks so I'm planning to introduce WCM in hopes that helps </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ttc-2-and-how-long-did-it-take/page/2#post-1958489 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 15:49:59 +0000 getjazzy 1958489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SunnyFarmMama: @SugarplumsMom: Thank you so much ladies!

How is that even possible?! (Ok well I know HOW, but seriously!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ttc-2-and-how-long-did-it-take/page/2#post-1956245 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 18:01:51 +0000 Ash 1956245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first time we pulled the goalie... Not paying attention to where my cycle was at. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ttc-2-and-how-long-did-it-take#post-1956244 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 17:59:55 +0000 cait 1956244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped HBC and started TTC right after my DD turned 3. Got pregnant with the 4th cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ttc-2-and-how-long-did-it-take#post-1955809 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 07:34:38 +0000 chanada 1955809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took 5 cycles for both first and second pregnancies. Started trying for #2 when ds was 17 months.</p> <p>The first time I was actively trying and even went to acupuncture near the end. The second time we were trying but not as anxious. I had more of an if it happens, it happens attitude so it seemed to go a lot faster the second time without help for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ttc-2-and-how-long-did-it-take#post-1955771 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 03:18:58 +0000 mrsvdv 1955771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Got my period back 5 months pp, started TTC at 7 months pp, had 3 CP and now conceived at 15 months pp. It took 9 cycles this time whereas we got pregnant cycle 3 with DS. But prior to that pregnancy, I'd had surgery for endometriosis and 3 months of Zoladex injections. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ttc-2-and-how-long-did-it-take#post-1955741 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 01:17:37 +0000 NurseDMB 1955741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 cycles off the pill - but first cycle actually trying (using OPKs), I'm currently 6 weeks pregnant.</p> <p>For my DS, it took 3 cycles off the pill. So it was easier for us the second time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ttc-2-and-how-long-did-it-take#post-1955740 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 01:10:06 +0000 snickers 1955740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got pregnant with #1 first go. Still trying for #2, we are on the 4th cycle of trying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ttc-2-and-how-long-did-it-take#post-1917086 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 09:30:39 +0000 LC 1917086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard so many stories about the second one taking longer, so I went into it not expecting anything to happen for a while. We were lucky though and I got pregnant the first cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ttc-2-and-how-long-did-it-take#post-1916929 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 08:23:13 +0000 RsMom 1916929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started TTC#2 when DS was 18 months. I'm on cycle #11 and still no luck. It took over 2 yrs for DS so I'm hoping this time is easier but it's not looking good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ttc-2-and-how-long-did-it-take#post-1916928 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 08:22:47 +0000 Adira 1916928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cycle came back at 9.5 months postpartum and we started NTNP then. Got pregnant on cycle 3, but my cycles were long and wonky and cycle 3 was the first cycle I had mostly weaned Xander. I think weaning was crucial for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ttc-2-and-how-long-did-it-take#post-1916918 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 08:13:54 +0000 mrsjyw 1916918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Had a CP 2nd cycle, thankfully very early. First cycle was so-so timing... we're in cycle 4 now. DS is 23 months.</p> <p>ETA: DS took 3 cycles, but first two cycles were so-so timing... so it's def been harder/longer this time around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ttc-2-and-how-long-did-it-take#post-1916854 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 07:42:01 +0000 ValentineMommy 1916854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First cycle trying (DS was around 15m old). It ended in mc. Have been trying since then with no luck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ttc-2-and-how-long-did-it-take#post-1916734 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 23:47:32 +0000 Kemma 1916734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started when LO was 20-21 months and it took two months although I don't think we hit the right dates in the first month. I was shocked that it happened so easily as it took us twelve months to get our daughter and I was / am still bf'ing 3-5 times a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ttc-2-and-how-long-did-it-take#post-1916725 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 23:15:00 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1916725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got pregnant with my second on the first try. My first positive OPK. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ttc-2-and-how-long-did-it-take#post-1916716 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 22:48:50 +0000 marionberry 1916716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We weren't trying persay but I got my period back at 6 months and was pregnant at 9. It took 10 cycles and iui last time so this was much easier than last time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ttc-2-and-how-long-did-it-take#post-1916551 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 19:15:13 +0000 SunnyFarmMama 1916551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: thank you for your backstory! I hope I have that easy a time this time around :)<br /> @delight: DH and I had a child free afternoon today and may have pulled the goalie early so if that magically happens for us my DS would be 19 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ttc-2-and-how-long-did-it-take#post-1916542 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 19:04:38 +0000 delight 1916542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were going to start trying around now but we weren't very careful once in August and now I'm 14 weeks along. It was a happy surprise but definitely a shocker since we tried for 6 months with LO1. They will be 21 months apart and we were going to aim for 2-2.5 years apart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ttc-2-and-how-long-did-it-take#post-1916483 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 17:04:13 +0000 regberadaisy 1916483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started when #1 turned one and it took 9 months. My period came back 9m pp and #1 took a year to conceive.</p> <p>I was still BFing when TTC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ttc-2-and-how-long-did-it-take#post-1916469 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 16:38:22 +0000 SunnyFarmMama 1916469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you for all of your responses! DH and I weren't trying with DS so it only took one cycle and just one time that cycle. I'm still BFing DS who's 10.5 months so I wonder if that will factor in this time around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ttc-2-and-how-long-did-it-take#post-1916410 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 14:40:21 +0000 Boogs 1916410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1 was almost 2.5, took 4 cycles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ttc-2-and-how-long-did-it-take#post-1916338 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 13:16:23 +0000 winniebee 1916338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Second cycle trying. DS1 was then 22 months. </p>
