ttc 2nd child - Trying to Conceive (TTC) Message Board

Hi!! I haven't been to the boards in a while. After I had my first baby (a boy now 2!!) I have been really busy.

Me and DH have decided to try for baby #2. It took us 8 months to get pg with first baby. This is only our second month of ttc.

I was just wondering if any of you ladies had a hard time ttc the second time around. The nurse at my Dr's office said it might be easier this time because my body already knows what to do. What do you all think

Thanks

I have heard that second babies are often easier to conceive than first babies for the reason you mentioned. I have no personal experience as I am still TTC #1.

Good luck!

Thanks!

I hope it's true I'm trying to not get my hopes up. I remember the first time we tried, I would get upset everytime AF would show her ugly face. I really am just trying to let things happen this time and not think about it so much.

How long have you been trying? I hope it happens for you soon!!

Hi! I'm ttc #3. With my second one I got pg. the first try and it wasn't even the "right time of the month" to concieve but it worked! Good luck!!

Hi ! I too have a two year old daughter and she came in the first month of trying ! I am presently 10 weeks pregnant and it took dh and i 9 months this time around. I am also 35 years old now, which may have something to do with it. I am not sure about " the second one being easier thing " In my case, it sure wasn't !! Good things come to those who wait.

BEST OF LUCK TO ALL !!
