Has anyone got pregnant more quickly with #2 than #1

Having perused a few threads it seems quite common for it to take longer to get pg with #2. Is this always the case? Just about to start trying for #2 and already worrying that it might not happen!

Pregnancy #1 - 8 month s
Pregnancy #2 - first try
Pregnancy #3 - 12 loooooong months
Pregnancy #4 - first try

So unpredictable!

DS1 took 6 months, DS2 was literally a one hit wonder!!! I have a lot of friends who got pregnant very quickly 2nd time

Number 3s taking its time, over a year so far.......

DD started the Dec cycle, pregnant April, miscarried, pregnant again October

DS weren't trying, took a risk as very early in cycle but feel pregnant straight away!

Know how you feel though, planning to try for no 3 in the new year and already worrying it will take forever or not happen at all!

In fact, anecdotally, I have heard far far more stories of quicker or accidental subsequent babies (unless much much older!). I reckon the fact the cervix has dilated once then it's got a wider space, allowing more sperm. Plus your body knows what to do maybe?

18 months DD1, 3 months DD2

9 months with #1 and first month with #2!

Ds1 - tried for 12 months, found out we needed IVF. Had IVF, it worked. This one: breastfeeding ds1 and start feeling ill... 8 weeks pregnant! That wasn't supposed to be able to happen!

I also thought it would take longer to get caught when trying for number 2 but we got caught the first day of trying. Good luck
