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!

took me a year to fall pregnant with dd, although the first six months were very casual if it happens it happens, after that though i worked out when i was ovulating and made more effort...

my twins on the other hand were conceived the month after i gave up breastfeeding dd (january), we dtd twice using the withdrawal method and on the second time the MAP - too late! realised i was pregnant valentines day; there are 14 months between them...

2 years 3 months for DC 1
3 months for DC 2 :)

DD1 - 9 months
DS - 5 months
DD2 - one night...

I put it down to being more aware of my body and the fertile times of the month... I reckon DS would have been quicker if DH hadn't been away at some crucial points.

DD (now 8 months) - almost a year of trying
DC2 (8 weeks pg) - first time of "not even really trying but we should probably think about it in case it takes as long as the first time" trying.

I'm noticing a theme on this thread! Grin

My first which ended in an M.C took just one attempt. I knew I was fertile so I had a O.N.S as I was not in a relationship. My D.D was conceived on a first (and last) date.
I've currently been ttc since April so this is my 5th cycle. xx

3 years plus for DC1

1st month trying for DC2

The age gap is 19 months, much less than we'd anticipated!!

12 months for #1 and first go for #2. But I think the more we practised the better I got at interpreting my fertile time. And a whole lot of luck!

Number one was unplanned using the highly unsuccessful withdrawal method, number 2 cycle 4 and still going!

1 - 1.5 years
2 - 1.5 minutes. Give or take.

Dc1 - 3 years and finally after ivf
Dc2 - first month naturally!!
