How long did it take you to conceive DC2?

[bluestripes]

We're just thinking about starting to try for DC2 and I was wondering how long it took everyone to get pregnant second time round?

One night (am 37).

1st time was 2nd month of trying (age 34). TTC #2 took 13 cycles of actively trying (age 37).

6 years with the first

18 months and 2 MC with the second due next May time

1st pregnancy - 2 months
2nd pregnancy - 1 evening, ended in m/c
3rd pregnancy 2 years

We didn't use anything after DS1 and I became pregnant after nearly 2 years, but on the first month of actively 'trying' ie. timing it, lying with pillow under hips, legs in the air etc.

2 months- now 22 weeks pregnant
Took a year and a half with DD
Wasn't anticipating quite such a small gap...

I am a little , given how much trouble some people have, to have conceived DC1, 2 and 3 each on first month of trying. And I am 35 so wasn't a case of extreme youth. DH of course thinks it's him...

Do appreciate it is a very lucky thing however.

Turniphead, I was just coming back to respond to anniemac's post in a similar way.

It really does seem luck of the draw. I was shocked to get pg with ds (dc2) for a number of reasons - my age, a previous miscarriage, a far from healthy lifestyle...

Fingers crossed for everyone.

about six months or so with various efforts from half hearted to full on (am 33)

22 long months - just 2 months with DS1. Had just been referred to assisted conception clinic when i found out i was pregnant.

4 months - but had m/c. Started trying again 2 months later and it took 2 months to get pregnant (now 33 weeks!)

2 months for ds1, 18 months for DD, 3 months for dS2 and 1 month for DS3. Those 18 months were very hard - agree with anniemac that it can be more common than you think.

Its awful evey month when af visits month after month.
im running out of time, im 38

15 looong months.
Ds1 was straight away. This time straight away.

DC1 was 1 month

DC2 was 2 month

but that was with a regular as clock work 28 day cycle and under 30 both times

11 months with PCOS

I was 4 months pregnant when I discovered DD was inside!!!! Wasn't actively trying. Now TTC DC#2 and it feels like it is taking forever!!! DD is now 2 and I am gagging for another. No sign of period (due yesterday) so fingers and legs crossed!!!

1st: wasn't trying
2nd: 2 months of BDing like bunny rabbits (age 37)

DD1 1st Month and had PCOS
DC2 22 months and with worse PCOS symptoms

That period doesn't look like its coming!!!

2 months

I was going to say 2 weeks, but I think I'm with flamebat on this one because it was 2 weeks after I stopped the pill that I tested positive.

With Dc3 I came off the pill and tested +ve 11 days later!

When I wanted no.4 and Dh wasn't sure, he was reluctant to sleep in the same bed for duffing me as quickly as before!

I do have friends in RL who have taken 2-3 years to conceive dc2 though and one couple have given up and adopted.
Good luck!

2 years and 2 miscarriages. It was very hard.

dc3 on the other hand i think was 2 cycles after my periods returning!
