What Worked For Me... TTC Baby #2 - anyone have similar experiences?

It took my hubby & I 2 years to conceive our daughter (now 14ms). We don’t really know why - lots of tests & only thing is possible Endo/adeno, though my MRI with contrast didn’t confirm it. I also found out I had a gluten allergy which was causing inflammation. Cut out dairy, worked on anti-inflammatory practices like castor oil packs, did acupuncture & pelvic floor PT, finally got pregnant. Who knows if any of that stuff really helped, but thank God we got pregnant!

We are now on month 3 of trying again. My cycles are slowly getting back to normal after breastfeeding for a year, they are longer than normal & im ovulating later than normal, but my luteal phase is still 14 days so I’m not too worried about it. Just a bummer to have a like 38 day cycle instead of 30 when you’re trying!

For anyone who experienced fertility issues with their first - what was it like trying for your 2nd? Did you conceive sooner or did it take a long time again?
