My thought was that it generally would take longer to get pregnant with LO 2, given the natural increase in age and corresponding decrease in fertility over time. But, I have also heard that it is actually often quicker for #2, like your body "knows" what to expect after you've already been pregnant once before. Interested to hear how it worked out for others!

Longer for us. Our first pregnancy happened crazy easily, I had a BFP within three weeks of when we stopped using confirms and had no knowledge of my cycle or anything. The second time took about 6 months of temping and OPKs.

It took less time, but I knew that I needed assistance and took Clomid earlier than the first time around.

2 cycles ntnp, and then first cycle trying but none of them
Have stuck. -
Much less time with #2. We were insanely ttc 9 mos, I think before we got DD. This pregnancy was only the 2nd or 3rd time we ttc, and it was the first month I used the CBE smileys again. My husband's work schedule is kind of erratic and there were lots of months in between that we didn't get great tries in (like he would leave 4 or 5 days before O and that was all she wrote), so I can't remember if this was the 2nd or 3rd month that we got to try all the way through O, but it was something like that.
I also had 2 CPs immediately prior to DD. And I'm currently 6.5 weeks, so I'm praying all is well this time.
-
1st month for DS and we're on cycle 3 so far TTC for #2. So not quicker for us.
-
3 with lo1. Wasn't trying with lo2 got pregnant while bfing.
-
First time, I went off bc in Oct, ntnp for a few months and bfp after 2/3 cycles active trying w opks and monitor. Bfp in march
We're ttc rt now. Ntnp for a few months. Second active cycle using monitor. Still ttc! Fx
-
It took 1 month with LO #2
-
Two months each time.
-
lo1 was a surprise while I was on the pill
lo2 - took 12 months to get pregnant but miscarried. About to try for lucky month 13
-
DD1 was two NTNP months, two months TTC
CP was first month NTNP pp
DD2 was one month NTNP, three months TTC
So four months each for my sticky pregnancies. -
2 years the first time. 1st month the second time.
-
First one took a year and the second one took 9 months.
-
10 months the first time with an iui, 3 months NTNP once I got my period back for the second.
-
1st month actively TTC each time
-
3 months for LO#1 and we're on month four TTC#2 so LO#2 will be longer.
-
I'm not counting my first as my "first" because I was young and there was 12 yrs between my first and second kids.
first: 6 months
(went off the pill 3 months before actively trying)second: 1 month
(technically not even trying...just 1 perfectly timed romp while NTNT) -
3rd cycle with lo#1.
First cycle with lo2 but lost the baby at 12 wks.
Now on cycle 9 trying since the loss...no luck yet! -
First time was first try! Lucky
Second took 7 cycles but I hadn't weaned the first 5 and a half so that may be a factor.Good luck!
-
First was about three years. Second was less than a year.
-
First was technically 8 months, but really two cycles after the m/c.
Second took two cycles. Wild.
-
First two pregnancies were first try (was having cycle monitoring with a clinic so timing was spot on) but I lost the second pregnancy at 8 weeks.
This is cycle 3 of trying again.
-
First was a happy surprise, and my second took one cycle.
-
I got pregnant with DS 1st try.
We are currently trying for baby #2 and this is the second cycle of trying.
-
1st: always the second month (3 pregnancies)
2nd: first month, half assed no less. Just sorta ballparked when I ovulated -
1st: three cycles of NTNP
