We were originally going to wait a little longer, but we've decided to try for baby #2 next cycle. I've never tried to get pregnant before, so I am not really sure what to expect or how long it could take. Our daughter was a big surprise, we didn't even find out I was pregnant until 22 weeks and she was born at 29 weeks. I had no real symptoms that made me think I was pregnant. I had what I thought were periods in March, April and May (she was conceived in February). It was normal for me to go 2 months with no period, so by mid July when it had been about 9 weeks since I had bled, I took a test. Instantly positive, and blood work plus lmp (or so we thought) put me at about 11-12 weeks. It was a HUGE surprise the next week when we went for a dating scan and I was 23 weeks 6 days.
I pumped for 6 months for my daughter and when I stopped, my period returned. They have been regular every month for the last 11 months, 28-30 day cycles.
I will be considered high risk since I had a preemie (I had pre-eclampsia). We are really hoping to make it to at least 34 weeks this time, but obviously we'd like to go full term.
