How long did baby number 2 take to conceive

[roro87]

Just wondering how long it took to conceive your second baby? my first took 18-20 months and I was 32, 33 nearly 34 now

Baby no 1 took 1 month, I was only 24 though.

Baby no 2 TTC 18 months now and still nothing, now 36.

It’s such a varied journey, I hope you don’t take as long as we’re taking.

Both took one month of active trying. I thought second might take longer so started trying early and wasn't prepared to fall pregnant straight away!

About 5 minutes, I was 39 if that gives you any hope.

Another where it happened straight away and was a shock. We thought it might take longer as older (mid 30s) so we started trying and then bam, BABY 🙈

Baby 1 took 6 months. First cycle with baby 2.

Oldest pretty much straight out of the starting blocks! Second about 5-6 months - I think it took a while for periods to regularise after coming off pill as I never had a 'normal' timed period during that time.

First took one month, second took seven months xx

thanks everyone just really hoping it's no where near as long this time.

#1 took 3-4 months of actively trying

#2 was in the first month of not preventing

#3 was the only time we've had sex since #2 was born.

I don't know whether we're incredibly fertile, or just have incredible timing.

Oh, and I was 25, 30 and 33 respectively.

@EekThreek that's crazy re your third! Out of curiosity were you trying or was it a happy surprise?

No 1 the best part of four years

No 2 not actively trying (but not preventing) a couple of months

Now a couple of months into two under two!!

Baby 1 took 11 months of very targeted sex aged 30.

Baby 2 decided to make a surprise appearance when we weren’t trying at all - conceived on cycle day 24 when we thought we were ‘safe’ and only one year after DD’s birth

Obviously delighted but will not be using the ovulation timing method of contraception once this one is born !

Baby 1 - 3 months and baby 2 (twins) first time trying!

@Lizbiz89 she was a complete surprise!

3 years on, I'm still shellshocked by being unexpectedly outnumbered 😂😳

#1 first time trying

#2 6 months

Best of luck xxx

I breastfed for 11 months, had one period and got pregnant again.

Number 1 - 3 cycles
Number 2 - 4 cycles

@EekThreek that's amazing! We're planning on having a third but not for a while yet. Youngest is currently 2 1/2 and is a handful to say the least!

#1 took 3 years and then happened after a one time miracle after we gave up hope!

#2 we weren't 'trying' and it was only my second cycle after stopping breast feeding (I'm only 8 weeks now and trying to process it! DS is 16 months 🙈)

#1 was a happy accident a month after our wedding whilst not actively trying but preparing to try in the following months (I was 25)

#2 We have been actively trying on and off for 2 years and no luck (I’m 29 and much much healthier than I was when I conceived ds) Were giving it until Christmas and then will both go and be checked at the doctors.

Literally one try. A bit of a shock as DC1 took 11 months.

DD took nearly a year of actively trying, ovulation tests etc. Now 13 weeks with DC2 and I fell pregnant on the pill, so completely the opposite!

Both of mine were from one-off unprotected sex. I'm late 30s. The second is due in Feb.

First total accident, on contraceptive pill. Next twins, after 19 months of trying.
