Unfortunately, having one child doesn't always mean the next will come as quickly - so yes it could just be that it will take longer for your second.
This may not be my place to say - but if you are feeling low and depressed, maybe you need to take some more time to get yourself into a better place first?. You will be absolutely shattered pregnant and with a toddler to look after, so you'll need to get yourself as prepared as possible so you can take care of yourself and your little ones.
ttc when you suffer from depression is not great - I know from personal experience. It's another thing to get yourself down over. Feeling low and depressed may make it hard to want to BD. I'd check with your Doctor to see if your medication could actually impact ttc as it depends what you are actually taking. Maybe even see if you can get some counselling (if not already doing that). I found I had to try a couple of different counsellors before I clicked with one and she walked me through alot of good techniques to get me out of the black periods.
Hope this helps you
