Planning to Try Again

Took me over two year with our first - 1st try with our second 🤷🏼♀️ it’s really a toss up
Our second I stopped the pill and fell pregnant that month. We have been trying for our 3rd for almost a year now
I'm pregnant with my second now after 7 years of trying. Was diagnosed with secondary infertility and this is an ivf baby. I got pregnant first month of trying with my first. As Alexis says its luck of the draw. I'd say if you're ready then go for it as every month and every cycle is different. I understand with school etc so maybe start from the earliest you would want a baby to be born and go from there xx
I 100% get your thinking I fet the same way but its hard to say. What your bodies are going to do. I would also caution that having an extreme deadline of oct/Nov. Really only gives you to shots and the stress you might create for yourself in aiming for that could make it more difficult. We have by no means struggled to get pregnant but its taken a bit longer each time for us. I would focus more on age spacing then holidays there's alway something near by that makes that birthday less then appealing. 100% talk to your doctor they will have a better understanding of your body
First we had to go for fertility treatments and took a year+. Pregnant with the second the second regular cycle (had a couple of cycles with irregular periods once they started up again after our first was born)
Like everyone says, all depends on you. After I got pregnant with my second, I started looking at my family, and we are very fertile, so I think if you analyze your family, it might also give a clue.
Unless you’re doing IUI or IVF, I wouldn’t count on it happening the way you want it to happen. It’s luck, random, so many moving parts.
There's no way to know. I tracked my cycle for just one month and then said "fuck it let's inseminate at home" and we did. We got pregnant on our first try when our 2 separate queer friends had been trying for one year and then other for five years. I thought that's what it would be like for baby number 2...we've tried for seven months. Nothing yet. I recommend narrowing down to the months you feel would be good for you guys to give birth and then go from the soonest you'd be down for and the latest and then try within that time frame. See what happens.
It’s really luck of the draw- some people get pregnant sooner, some people experience second infertility or it’s less easy. Wish there was a concrete answer to give you but you never know. What I would probably do though is see your doctor in September or so to make sure everything looks good for conceiving again. Often this is called a preconception appointment.
