TTC #2 How long did it take?

[DeadDoorpost]

So Dh and I have decided that rather than wait 3 years or more like we planned, to try for DC2 now, main;y so I can (hopefully) get the horrible HG pregnancies out of the way. It also means that the DC could have a closer age gap, in the same way DH and his brother have, and me with my DSis.

However, I've not had a period, and I'm breastfeeding, but do think I had a type of period just over a week ago as I had bad period pains for three days and very very slight bleeding (that only showed when I wiped). I can't really be bothered getting ovulation sticks because honestly, I don't have the patience to sit and work things out but DTD is a lot more enjoyable than planning. DH stresses more with planning anyway

So I just really wanted to gauge how long I could potentially be waiting for. DS was first try, but we did DTD around when my predicted ovulation was. I'm just wondering if I inherited my mum and my nan's super-fertility powers or not... (I know that's not how it works but still)

It’s impossible to tell how long it may take! My first was conceived after 6 weeks of TTC, my second after a good 6/7 months. I’m now pregnant with DC3 - had my coil removed 4 week ago and got a postive test last Friday, never even had a period.

I think enjoy some jolly good sex and see what happens. Good luck OP - sending baby dust your way xx

Same as previous poster, it just depends unfortunately. I got pregnant with DS1 on 3rd try and this pregnancy, 2nd. Xz

DS2 took me a bit by surprise as I was still breastfeeding & DS1 was only 7 months old. It literally took the one try, which was also a surprise as it had taken almost a year to get DS1. It's been nice having them close in age.

Thanks ladies; theres a part of me that has always felt id never have problems getting pregnant. Always felt the pregnancy itself would be the biggest hurdle.
Until I certainly shall enjoy some jolly good sex. DH is just glad I'm actually feeling up for it. Had a massive slump for ages. He's so happy.
Drama DS is 8 months so we'll see how things go. At least he's cruising and crawling so can move around.

Had DC1 20 months ago, EBF for six months (combined with food for a further three), had a couple of light periods after that once I stopped and then conceived DC2 first month of trying (aged 38 almost 39). Full term tomorrow

Good luck for the coming weeks LaPufalina

Dd was very first month and currently about to start on month 6 for for #2. I know people who tried for over a year for #1 and then caught within 3 months for #2 so you just can't tell at all.
