Advice Wanted Was it easy to get pregnant again?

Had an “oopsie” on Saturday with hubby! We have a 8 month old, and I’m breastfeeding still. Got my period back 3 months PP. I guess I checked my Flo app, and confirmed with my symptoms, but I definitely ovulated two or three days after this “oopsie”.
When you got pregnant a 2nd time, was it a one time & done situation or did it take multiple cycles?

Edit:

I’m internally screaming right now, and will be updating in 2 weeks lol

It took me 15 months, 10 cycles, fertility tests, constant tracking, timed sex and the whole works to get pregnant with baby #1.

Currently pregnant with baby #2 after the first attempt 🥴

This was us too! About 10ish months, doctors visits, tracking and scheduled sex.

We talked about starting to try for number 2. First attempt and No. 2 due in four weeks.

I wish it had only taken me 10 months! That’s still within normal limits if you’re under 35. I was 32. Took us a little over two years and IVF to have our babies. They’re embryo transfers 1 and 2.

Same for us!! I also had a miscarriage before my first. My husband side eyed me when I told him I wanted to wait to start trying again until we were absolutely ready in case it happened first try… and I was correct lol

I swear it’s like our bodies get primed after the first one sometimes.

1st baby was 2007- condom and birth control. I was only 20 when she was born. Met an amazing guy 5 years ago, got married. Then 2nd baby was April 2025- had 3 losses prior. Lost count of letrozole cycles. HSG, SIS, menopur injections and progesterone to get to April 2025 baby. Then decided we’d be ok trying without meds until I hit 40. Yeah…ended up pregnant on the first try- due in 10 weeks. So I have an 18 year old, 13 month old and one due in 10 weeks.
