How long does it take to conceive a second child?

Nope..... stop trying. I know so many people that wanted one so bad and tried and tried and tried. When they adopted or decided that they were blessed with what they have.... BOOM! they were pregnant.
I can definitely vouch that NERVES has everything to do with getting pregnant.
Tell yourself you are fine with what you have and you will just go about life like this. Plan some mini family vacations and get your mind off of it.
It works everytime.
And sometimes, God has a time and a plan for you too.
Besides, you are only 23... you have 20 years left to have a baby. RELAX. Don't think about it.
Good Luck

hi Sweetie, oddly enough caffeine can be a cause not only for not getting pregnant but for miscarriage too... and you probably consume more because you are juggling more responsibility at this point... So, try to relax, try to drink more water and stay hydrated, try to sleep as much as possible (haha right?) and try to reduce caffeine if you consume a lot. My husband and I have had the same issue, and you have to acknowledge that you and your husband -- the good news -- have "all the right stuff" to make a baby, and then, it's all about taking good care of yourself for the next baby. So, take good care of yourself (as well as you are taking care of the others in your life) and remember to breathe deeply and drink lots of water. God's timing is flawless! That precious new baby will be along right on time. Good Luck!!!

I concur with everybody else--don't stress out about it. You're so young that it shouldn't be a worry. I think the prevailing wisdom is that if you haven't conceived in two years from trying, then maybe you should seek help. Use this time that you're trying to conceive to take a close look at your health--diet, exercise, and stress level--because it can make it harder to conceive if you're eating poorly, not exercising, and stressed out. Besides, you will have a better, more healthy pregnancy and easier birth if you are healthy going into pregnancy. I know it can be frustrating, but just try to relax, and think that there may be some good reason why it would not be the best time right now to be pregnant. Think of the negatives of pregnancy, and that you may have horrible morning sickness coinciding with your daughter's flu, if you were pregnant now. Or something like that. Things will happen when they happen, and worrying about it won't get you pregnant.

I know it is hard to think of anything other than the baby in your future, but if you stop trying you will succeed. The stress of trying so hard makes your body fight the stress taking away from the goal. I was told at 19 i would never have a baby. I tried and tried to no avail. when i finally gave up and said well i guess it is not meant to be i got pregnant 2 months later. Do not fret if it is in god's plan it will happen when it is supposed to. GOOD LUCK.

Keep telling yourself that you are going to get pregnant in the right time and you will eventually. Stop focusing on what you don't have and focus onyour little girl and you will have your baby in no time. You have to have positive thoughts. Reads Proverbs 18:21. Life and death are in the power of your tongue and it is so true even in this situation.

Best of luck

I would go ahead and talk to your doctor, it can't hurt, and at the same time, you could buy an over the counter ovulation packet and try using that to concieve. Keep your spirits up, don't let this get you down! I'll be praying for you.

It took me 4yrs the first time, 2yrs this time, and it took my sister 15 yrs. My sister just found out that she is pregnant. Im 19 weeks pregnant with a little boy. Dont take this the wrong way but mabe you should give up. I swear as soon as you do itll happen, It did for me and my sister. I did the basal temp and the whole 9 yards. Two weeks after I through out my thermometer I was pregnant. It will happen try not to be down.

Hey, don't worry about it. Just relax, lite some candles and let nature do its thing. If you get all worked up about this you will never become pregnant. You and your hubby need to relax. Try something different, take a shower together, drink a glass of wine or something. It took me 7 years to get pregnant. I finally said forget it, if it is meant to be it will happen and well, she was born on my birthday. Relax and don't wnat it too bad.

Hi S., I can feel your pain. It took us longer to get pregnant with our 2nd one also. Same with some of our friends. We know 2 couples that have been trying for a year now and they just found out they are pregnant. I think alot of it is - we are anxious and ready and think it won't take long. We got pregnant once we weren't thinking about it all the time and taking pregnancy test all the time. I talked to both couples and they were anxious and taking pregnancy test all the time. Once they forgot about it and knew it would happen when it happened, it worked. Hope this helps! Good Luck!!

Hi S.,
What kind of birthcontrol were u on after the birth of ur daughter? If it was the depo shot then it will take at 6 months to a year to get out of ur system. Sometimes longer. When I got off of mine it took me at least 2 1/2 yrs to get pregnant again. We lost the baby and then was told to wait a year to get pregnant again. We waited for the year then miscarried the baby also. So in all it took us 6 years to have our youngest daughter. First of all if I were you I would start tracking my cycles, If u havent started doing that yet. Then also get one of those Ovulation predictors. They work really good. It doesnt have to be the most expensive ones either. I got the Answer Ovulation predictor tests. The first time that I used them I found out that I was pregnant 3 weeks later. I will also post a site on here for u to use to track your cycles. Here it is.. http://www.ovulation-calculator.com/ here is another one http://www.babyhopes.com/ovulation-calendar/ I wish you the best of luck!!! I understand how painful and worrying it can be.

Hi S.! :)

It took me 5 years the first time! LOL! What made a difference was an improvement in diet. I cut out all additives, preservatives and artificial anything and started eating lots of fresh healthy stuff. I lost 16 lbs and became pregnant. :) A healthy diet can really make a difference in your body's ability to conceive. :)

Best of luck!

I tried actively to get pregnant with my seven year old for at least a year and a half. It took a long time...When I went to the doctor, he said try more often and come back in six months. Sure enough, I was pregnant within six months. We just weren't trying hard enough, I guess-lol! Good luck. I know I was really down each time it didn't happen, but when it did I was overjoyed! Also, try to relax. That was my problem, I think. I was too focused on the outcome, not the fun. After we went on a cruise, I was pregnant the next month. I was TOO stressed out! Hope you get pregnant soon!

Yes, it took my husband and I 3 years to get pregnant. I got really discouraged and would cry and cry, but as soon as we quit trying, I got pregnant. All it took was a night out alone, a few drinks, and a Christmas party. Our baby is now 4 months old, and absolutely the biggest blessing of my life. So don't give up. Quit trying and enjoy yourself. It will happen when the time is right. Believe me, I am speaking from experience.
