How long did it take to conceive baby #2? (cross post from 2 under 2)

Hi!  My husband and I just started TTC #2 this cycle, and I was curious how long it took everyone to conceive baby #2 (for those ladies going for round two).  It took 7 cycles for us for our first (I'm 33), but I've heard it's often easier for #2 because your body is "geared up" for pregnancy.  Any opinions on this?

 Our daughter is 9 months old now, and I am breastfeeding, but my cycles are essentially back to normal.  Thanks!

It took us longer to conceive this second one.  Ds was three cycles and this one was five.  I also experienced a chemical pregnancy trying for this one as well.

It took us 10 months to conceive our first, and I got pregnant with number two as soon as I quit breastfeeding at 4 months. Needless to say, our little ones are only 13 months apart! I got pregnant very quickly with this one as well. I will have 3 under 2 1/2. So the whole "geared up" thing you said seems to be true in my case! GL

It took us one full cycle (with charting and OPKs).  DD was a little older than yours though and only nursing a tiny amount.  I did read that can affect luteal phase and fertility, so I wanted to wait until we were closer to weaning before trying.

About two years for this baby but it's pregnancy #4. We started TTC when DS was 6 months old but he took 3 years to conceive so I wasn't surprised. I also micarried twice along the way so I did get pregnant quicker (16 months from the start of TTC to pregnancy #2) when we were trying for #2.

I was on BCP for 10 years, got off and it took 6 cycles and a chemical pregnancy to conceive my first child. I got back on the pill shortly, then got off for a year and we avoided sex on fertile days. When we ttc#2 it happened on the second cycle. I think my BC played a huge role in conceiving the first time.

A year and a half.  I have endometriosis.  At least I didn't have surgery this time.

It took us 6 cycles to conceive our first. Then when he was 7 months old, we accidentally got pregnant but that ended in miscarriage. We tried the cycle after that and are pregnant again!

It was cycle 2 with my first, cycle 6 with my second.

I've never heard of this.

It took 9 LONG months to get pregnant with my daughter. I know that's not a lot compared to many women on these boards but since I knew so many people who had surprise pregnancies it seemed to take forever. With #2 (which I'm almost 27 weeks pregnant with now) we had one "oops" moment during the month and now we have a baby coming!

DD happened on the first try.  This pregnancy (6w2d, I need to make a ticker) happened on the 36th month of trying for a second.  I got pg after about 18 months, it was a CP.  Then again this past summer.  It was spontaneous (i.e. "natural") triplets but went into ptl and lost them at 14 weeks.  I just conceived again in early Dec., hoping this is the one.

It took 8 cycles/7 months to conceive DS. He is now 18 months old and we got pregnant in the first cycle with this one. I briefly took BCP last year but they weren't covered by my insurance, so we used condoms during fertile time.
