If you conceived straight away with DC1...how long with DC2?

I know this has been done before, but can't find the threads. We conceived DS first month of trying and are going to TTC#2 this year. Just wondering how long others have taken to conceive 2nd time around when it was v.quick first time? (I mean very quick to conceive, not conceived by a quickie! - even if it was!)

(Just wondering...lack of sleep, libido, time, unshaved legs )

Yabbadabbadooo · 15/04/2008 20:56

MissKubelik · 15/04/2008 20:56

#2 - 15 months

Scampmum · 15/04/2008 20:57

3-4 months, 2-3 cycles as only AF came back after stopped bf and then only dropped in every 5-6 weeks.

Scampmum · 15/04/2008 20:58

DD was first cycle, straight after came off pill (so could have had long cycle before, didn't know because had been on pill for so long - dates did get moved back a week at scan)

Both dcs conceived in the first month of trying - which is brilliant, obv, but has made me rather paranoid about contraception since .

fleximum · 15/04/2008 21:04

ds2 conceived when ds1 9 months old - same month i stopped breastfeeding. Didn't even have a period in between.

peggotty · 15/04/2008 21:06

First month of trying with both dcs. Wasn't expecting it to be as quick second time either!

onepieceoflollipop · 15/04/2008 21:06

First month of trying with dd2 (same as for dd1) we feel very fortunate, although in retrospect a relief that we didn't have any surprises in between. Our contraceptive choices must have been wise ones I guess!

KaybeeandZak · 15/04/2008 21:07

Couple of weeks with ds1 and on first try with dc2 who is due any day now......

onepieceoflollipop · 15/04/2008 21:08

p.s. to make you laugh (sorry if tmi but it makes me chuckle)

dd1 was a planned honeymoon baby. We went back to the same hotel almost 3 years later and we were ttc baby 2. You can guess what happened from my earlier post...

Dh wants to go away on a romantic w'end to the same hotel!!! I am somewhat reluctant.

Lizzylou · 15/04/2008 21:08

Both DS's, straight away, and we thought we'd have fun trying

Womba1 · 15/04/2008 21:09

Both of ours were conceived the first time we tried, which pretty much scuppered DH's plans for shagathons and marathan bonking sessions!!

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 15/04/2008 21:15

#1 - unplanned
#2 - 1st month

firsttimemama · 15/04/2008 21:32

Same as scampmum - only did it once that month too and we weren't even trying!

mom2latinoboys · 15/04/2008 21:35

ds1 was conceived about 2 weeks of me saying, "Let's think about having a baby".

Ds2 was the product of having sex for the first time in two months.

sparklyshoos · 15/04/2008 21:42

thanks all! I love these stories! I know next time it could take forever, but gives me hope that it could be just as quick.

Serves me right for being smug the first time.

gigglewitch · 16/04/2008 00:55
