Struggling to get pregnant w/ baby #2

Hi everyone! I’m normally a very private person. Although I am also very open to advice. We got pregnant with our son the first month of trying. I had completely stopped birth control the month of April and got pregnant in June. We decided this past July (18 months after giving a c section birth) to start trying for baby #2. I never got back on birth control after baby boy. I peed on ovulation sticks every day last month until I got a positive. We had sex that day and the 2 days after positive ovulation stick. This month I decided not to because I stayed stressed last month while using ovulation sticks. Any suggestions? Trying to be patient, as I know we’ve only tried for 6 months and some people try for years. Just reaching out for tips or tricks that may have worked for some of you.
