When do you plan on TTC #3

mjmom1

If you are planning on ttc again when is the date. I want to start trying late next summer. With DD #1 it took us 11mth for BFP and DD # 2 10mths. In my opinion I would love to do it now and get it over with but with all my problems I know my body couldn't take it and it would not be fair to my girls to be on bedrest. We REALLY want a boy!!  If DC # 3 is another girl though we'll be just as happy but will stop at 3. What are your plans??

We are on #3 now.  We do plan on waiting a few years for #4.

We are planning to wait until the boys are in preschool and then hopefully have #3 and 4 close together also.

3 years. Then we will have to be done. I will be 37 and DH 45.

Do you have c-sections? If so has the doc said anything about having them so close??

I have 3 right now. I had 3 c-sections in 3 years. No issues. And my OB told me after each baby that I could get PG when I wanted - I just had to be mentally and emotionally ready to add to my family.

Right now, we're not sure we're going to add a #4 to our family.

Nothing is set in stone, of course, but I'd like to ttc #3 by the time L is 2, possibly sooner.

I need a break.  Probably 3+ years before we start TTC.  Or we may consider adoption instead.

MrsCorbin

I will have had 3 c/s's within 28 months.  My doctor wasn't concerned and never told us to wait.  My second c/s was a breeze and I hope this one will be the same.

We will prob ttc in Jan 2011. But we are also thinking of adopting. We'll see- we have plenty of time (I'm 30 with 4 kids)

susansev

we are done with two!  i give a lot of credit to you all who have/want 3 or 4 kids--don't think I could do it!

We are expecting #3 right now.  DD#1 will be 3.5yrs, DD#2 will maybe just be 2 when DC#3 joins the family.  I'm a 'older' mom will be 36 in Feb so we felt like we needed to get going sooner than later.

ditto...we are on a 'break' right now until DH finishes grad school next spring, then hopefully we'll go on to have 1-2 more once we settle where he gets a job, etc.

Probably when DC#2 is 12-13 mo old we'll start TTC #3.

I am pregnant with #3 now.  When this baby is born DD#1 will be 3 1/2, DD#2 will be 20 months.  This was a total surprise (thought I was done, apparently not) - got pg on BCP.  Having 2 LO's at home in the first tri was VERY tiring.  But, every mother and every pg is different.

Ditto this. IF there is going to be a #4(not sure yet) we won't try for another 4 years. I will be having my IUD installed ASAP.

We have jumped right to #4. We were hoping on waiting a few more years but that didn't happen.

In 2 years we are going to decide how we want to add another child to our family... adoption or biologically.

Ditto this.  probably won't happen for another year or two, when #2 is 3 or 4 y/o and #1 is in kindergarten.  I need a break!  I love my 2 so close together, but I can't do it again and survive.

We plan on trying in 4 years or so. I want 1 if not both girls to be in school. It may be sooner if I am able to start staying at home but as of right now that's not looking like a option. We are hoping #3 will be a boy but if not we will be happy and will consider trying for a 4th and then be done.
