Why is it so hard to conceive baby #2?

Question

My husband and I are trying for baby #2. I am 25 and he is 26, we're both healthy and (now) stress free. We tried for about 6 months before he deployed to Iraq for 13 months and we have been trying for the past 9 months since he's been home with no luck. I was on birth control when I got pregnant with my daughter 5 years ago.Now that I'm not on anything it seems so much harder to conceive!!! What should we try?

Answer 1

maybe your just not timing s*x right? Have u tried using OPK's or even a fertility monitor? we tried 2 months before i got my fertility montior. the 1'st month using the monitor i got pregnant. but sadly i m/c. try using 1 of those methods and see what happens. good luck!

Answer 2

I feel like im going through the same thing. My Boyfriend and I have an 11 month old son and we want another baby soon we want them to be close and it feels like its never going to happen. We've been trying for 5 months and i havent got my period in 6 months i have no idea whats going on im going to see the doctor in september... we want another one so badly. He's getting deployed to Iraq Sept. 13th and we want to get pregnant before he leaves we're praying!! I hope you and your husband get pregnant soon too!! good luck :)

Answer 3

You are not alone. No 1 is 6 yrs old in Dec & I have been TTC # 2 for 9 months. I am 34 this yr. Don't give up, note your ovulation date & seek OB help after 12 mths of TTC. Good luck

Answer 4

you may be timing ovulation wrong.. get a ovulation test

Answer 5

Answer 6

I am going through the exact same thing.  I have a 3 yr old and now that we have been trying for #2 it seems hopeless.  I have cried and prayed.  I know that we have not been trying too long but I already made an appointment with my Gyno. I need to know whats going on now.
