When You Tried to Make Baby #2.. - South Jordan,UT

#1 Suprise!
#2 10 months
#3 first try, lol

It was painful waiting to get pregnant with #2, I hope it happens soon for you!

Its all in Gods timing Sweetheart. He has a plan for your little one to come along on a certain day and time. Ive known women who tried for 4 1/2 yrs and just had her miracle in Sept. Be patient... I know its hard. It took me 3 months to conceive with my 15 month old daughter... ***** Baby dust to you*****

We had an easy time with my son - got prego the month after going off birth control. We have been trying for 2 1/2 years now and still nothing. I tried Clomid but the side effects weren't worth it to me so I went off of it. I recently switched to a different ob/gyn and he put me on metformin because he said I could be insulin resistant which can cause me to not ovulate. He also said to do a bunch of cardio exercise and that can jump start my ovaries. I recommend reading the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility, it helped me understand the way my body works and what signs to look out for to know if I am ovulating or not.

***To those people who say, "it will happen when it happens", and " just don't try", please don't make comments like that. For someone dealing with infertility it is IMPOSSIBLE to not try and to put our hearts on hold for the baby we long for. It hurts us to see happy people who can get prego so easily. If you want to help someone, keep those comments to yourself and offer a hug or a shoulder to cry on.

I actually found a calendar on the internet of what days you are ovulating (ovulation calendar is what its called). I would try that first before spending any money. It probably took me a few months to get pregnant. I don't think 5 months is long, but try the calendar out. Good luck in getting pregnant.

no, just keep trying
if 8-12 months in, and still no baby, you should check just to make sure everythings ok
but i wouldn't sweat it

~~~AN ANSWER A DAY M. K~~~

Why don't you buy one of those fertility kits that they sell at the drugstore? They are very good. My sister used one and it was spot on right on the days she would ovulate, so it might be a good idea so you can be sure which days you are more fertile.
For me it was a different story, with my baby #2 I didn't have to do anything. I was breastfeeding and on the pill and I still got pregnant. My daughter was just 7 months when I got pregnant with my boy (due in Feb 2011). So I am looking for the exact opposite after I have him, I want a birth control method that REALLY works :)

#1 and # 2 both happened within 2 months of going off the pill. We have been trying for #3 for 10 months, it's hard to understand why it's taking so long this time, but my dr wants us to try for a full year before looking into any problems. Good luck, I understand your frustration!

Birth control can stay in your system for almost a year if u have been taking it for a long time. It took me almost 7 months to conceive my first.
Good luck and keep trying. Don't give up hope! :0)

ok with my first it was a surprise so didn't even try for her(but extremely happy that it happen!) With my second I had my iud taken out and started trying the next month, it didn't happen for three more months so I bought an ovulation kit and we coceived on the first try with it so in total 4 months to conceive our little darling.
I think you're fine if there are no obvious medical reasons, I think five months is not worrisome at all but knowing myself I'd just talk to my Obgyn to be reassured.
good luck!

I have a girlfriend who claims to have struggled with the heart breaking situation of infertility for many years. She had one baby and couldn't conceive for several years so they adopted, then adopted again and again, and voila got pregnant years later again and again....and now she's having baby #7... There are 3 adopted and 3 natural and this baby is the tie breaker. All I can say is that God definitely has his own timing.

I have an 11 year gap between baby #1 and baby #2. We eventually only used chlomid, an ovulation fertility drug. I honestly believe and even know the reason that I am a mother right NOW with these children and not back then. All too complicated and personal to go into here.

Don't loose heart. Just continue to be healthy and strong and believe in what is good - and of course, lots of lovin' with your husband.

First one was right off the bat, #2 took about 5 months. It is usually not recommended to see the doc until around the 12 month mark or sooner if you have a history of infertility problems. But it doesn't sound like that's the case.

First one no problem, second one 9 months. The first one I did not do anything to try. The second one I was doing ovulation tests almost all month long, taking my temperature, and charting. I thought I knew when I was ovulating and having intercourse every other day almost all month long.

It was frustrating but now I am 18 weeks pregnant and ecstatic!

That being said my best friend has been trying a year for her first baby and was convinced there was a problem. Her doctor tried to talk her out of any concern. She went to another doctor (and then an endocrinologist and fertility specialist) who diagnosed her with hypothyroidism and endometriosis. She is being treated for her hypothryoidism and just had surgery last week. Both conditions can interfere with fertility.

#1 took less than 3months
#2 took 6 mths

# 2 felt like forever! Seems like I've heard of others that get preggo quickly the first time and take a little longer the second. Try having sex everyday for a month. If you're ovulating, it seems like that would work.

Good luck!

PS It doesn't hurt to ask a dr, if it reassures you. :o)
