...how long did your second take?

Everyone I know has taken much longer the second time and I'm wondering how much I should factor that into plans for #2 - obviously I'm aware it could happen and we'd be prepared for that, but want to manage expectations!

1st time every time for 10 pregnancies, although only two went to term. DM got pregnant first time twice for me and my brother. DD1 got pregnant first time of trying this year. IMO, something runs in the family!

I didn’t get pregnant the first month we tried, but I did the second.

I took 2 cycles for #1, 3 cycles for #2 and #3 I got pregnant the first month we tried. I think it is just random.

It took 1 contraceptive fuck up for us to conceive our second.
