While different ballgame for us! With DS we TTC for 13 months and I needed meds to assist ovulation and progesterone ... my DD was a NFP fail on our first month of actual NFP after 6 months of cycle tracking

NTNP from the birth of my first, weaned at 10 months, got pregnant at 15 months, lost that pregnancy, got pregnant again at 18 months.

Significantly longer! But assuming all goes well with my current pregnancy, back to shorter for LO3.
LO1: 1 month, no tracking
LO2: several months ntnp, 10 months (less than 10 cycles though) using OPKs (edit: all told, about a year and a half, maybe a bit less)
Current pregnancy: 1 month, no tracking

With LO1 it took 17 cycles, with LO2 it took 8 cycles. We were thrilled and relieved it took half the time to get pregnant the second time around.

Hmm I don't know how to answer because we had a chemical pregnancy in between! Lo1 took 4 cycles to conceive, one of which I know we missed my fertile window because of travel. The pregnancy we lost took only 1 cycle to conceive, and then I waited 2 cycles to start again. Then lo2 was conceived 2 cycles after that. So lo2 was conceived after sort of 2 cycles/faster than lo1, but really 5 from when we first started trying again so longer.

DS1 took 8m and I had a loss. DS2 got pregnant on second month trying

Twice as long in terms of real cycles, losses both times before success. The first time we were technically trying a while longer but I knew I wasn't ovulating much at all so I don't really count it.
Third baby we got pregnant first try but another loss and now trying again almost to third cycle.

DD was 7 cycles after going off the pill, 2nd after using OPKs. DD2 was 3 after having my IUD removed (one was extra long), 2nd using OPKs as well.

My first took a full year. Never even got my period before I was pregnant with my second. Third was also conceived first cycle trying.

Twelve months for our first baby, two months with our second, one month with our third but resulted in loss and currently on our first cycle of trying again (miscarriage was in February)

My first was 6 months, my second we succeeded on the first try but it ended in a loss at 10 weeks, and we succeeded on the first try with my current pregnancy. I'm AMA so I was really worried each subsequent pregnancy would take a long time. We've been very lucky!

Over a year with #1 (8 cycles I think- I have long cycles and I had a miscarriage during that year, too)
First cycle for both #2 and #3!

1 mo with LO#1

DD was about 5m with an early mc when we first started trying. Then we accidently (but very welcomed) got pregnant when she turned 1. That resulted in a loss at 22 weeks. It took us 14 more months to get pregnant with DS which included another mc at 10w. As much as I would love
to have another child, I don't think I can handle TTC again.

With kid #1, I was pregnant 3 weeks after deciding to try. With # 2, it took 14 months to conceive a take home baby (2 losses occurred within the 14 month period as well).

My LO was conceived on the first try.
It has been 10 months and around 5 losses trying to get #2.

#1 was 1 month
#2 was about a year but I had 2 early miscarriages during that time too.
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
#1 - 3 cycles (but really the first two was more NTNP)
#2 - a surprise!
grapefruit / 4988 posts
I said Other because our situation was weird.
#1 - first try (m/c), 2nd try (LO) = ~6 months total
#2 - first try (m/c), 2nd try (cp), took a break and had an oops = ~8 months total

DD I got pregnant on the first try!
DS I tried for six months, got pregnant, had a m/c at 11w, and then got pregnant second cycle trying after m/c. Ended up being a year from when we started trying for number 2.
