Shehecheyanu on the Lulav on the Second Day of the Festival

Question

Is it necessary to recite the Shehecheyanu blessing when taking the lulav today—on the second day of Chol HaMoed—if I have not yet taken the lulav during the current Sukkot festival, or is Shehecheyanu recited only when taking it on the first Yom Tov? (For a woman)

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

On the first day that you take it, recite the blessing of “Shehecheyanu.”
