Another Intro! (kids mentioned)

in TTC after 35
Hi ladies!
I mostly lurk on the bump because I'm usually mobile and I can't stand typing on my phone, but I wanted to intro so when I start "love it"-ing all the posts you'll know who I am. I'm hoping I'll get the chance to participate at least once a week.
Anyway, I'm 37, turning 38 in a couple of months. DH and I met later in life, well, later for me, he's quite a bit younger than I am! We had a daughter in July 2012, and added a son just this past May. We're not sure whether we want 3 or 4 kids, so we're getting started on #3 as quickly as possible because time, as you all know, is not on our side. Also, who knows how long it will take. Our son was conceived on the 8th cycle, one cycle before I was set to start a medicated cycle. I'm breastfeeding as well, so that adds more complication to the whole thing. I think I had my first PP cycle already, but I'm not really sure so for now we're NTNP and when I get AF next time, I'll start charting.
I already love this board because everyone is so respectful of one another and everyone's story is so different, yet all united by the age factor. I think all of you ladies just "get" it.
Even though I mostly lurk, I want you all to know that I'm rooting for you!

Hope your pp period shows so you can start charting so ttc#3 isn't so tough.
