pretty much right at 2 years. I wish we could start sooner but I need to finish my last year of school before we can afford it comfortably. And a nice bonus would be if we can get DS potty trained first.

H already wants to start trying, as in right now! I will be ready come August or Sept, but I am EBFing, so it might take a little longer for us to conceive. Right now we are just seeing what happens and not using any BC because we are both open to another and I was given to okay by our OB.

One and done!  We have discussed adoption.  We would want E to be 2 or older before that.

DH and I cant figure this out yet, on one hand we want to wait until after I finish my Masters and DH's business is doing a little better, I think I could mentally handle another once DD is 3 or so,

then on the other hand I want the kids to be close in age growing up and close to their cousins ages, we are the last in our families to have kids, so our kids are the youngest the longer we wait the bigger the gap between them

This exactly! If it was up to DH I would be preggers again now. Our family keeps saying wait two years etc. But, I would be totally ok with it around Aug/Sept. We just found out our cousin is pregnant again.

I'd love to have another one but I think we are done.

We are going to start trying in November of 2013. I can't believe it's only a year and a half away!

IF we decide to have another it will be timed with our next transfer in two years. That's what determined the timing on DD. That and a healthy dose of luck. Getting KU before that would result in large chunks of separation for DH and I, medical evacuations, etc. etc. No thanks.

We are done having kids but we want to adopt a toddler when DS is about 3-4 so we'll start looking into it when he's 2.

Lena122

In an ideal world we'd be TTC by the end of this year but realistically we'll wait until next summer so DS is 2 by the time our second is born. It also depends on how long it takes for us to save for a new house. DH and I tend to have little patience though (we started TTC right after our wedding) so maybe it'll be less than a year. Basically I have no idea haha!

I guess we would technically be done reproducing not having kids.

We will start TTC in September. I can hardly wait! Me and my siblings are all 19 months apart and I loved that growing up (there are 3 of us).  I want that same closeness for my kids.

We are waiting till ds is 5-6, that way in the future when he's in college (or supposed to be in college!) It will give us enough time to have saved to help him and also time between him in college and until our next one goes into college so we can help our children out. I personally couldn't do having kids close together, I would rather ds be olds enough to do things on his own.

We have to wait 1.5 years because I had a c-section and we wanted to try a VBAC.

HappyToBe2012

We will probably start trying when DD is around 3.  That way she will be 4ish when #2 is born.  And hopefully potty trained so we only have to worry about one in diapers at a time.

jldubb0626

We're starting in August/September. I want them 1.5 years apart or so. But then we're done!

Shawnee11507

Probably start trying in November. I had a c-section and the doc said we whould wait 9 months before trying so my body will have a year of rest before my uterus starts stretching again. Plus I will be 33 in November and not sure if we want 1 or 2 more, so don't want to wait too long. Also, we want them close in age and like another said, we are the last in the family to have kids, so the longer we wait, the bigger age gap between cousins.

FinallyMrsBMW

We are either done or will wait about 3 years before trying for the 3rd. 

h0b0girl

We will start trying August / September but given our history if nothing happens naturally by Novmember we are going to contact our RE (fertility specialist).  I am already 33 so dont want to wait for #2 too long. I would love to have one more baby 18-24 months after our first. An IVF cycle can take like 2-3 months so by starting in November we will get 2 (possible 3 chances) to conceive in time for a 2 year age gap.

kristin172429

We really don't know if we will have another and if we do, it will just be one more.  We are waiting until DS is one before we try and make any decisions.  We don't want to wait too much longer because DH is 33 and I'm 34.

MrsLindinger0905

I couldn't fathom chasing a young toddler around being huge and pregnant. I was absolutely exhausted everyday when I came home from work and I had to fight to stay awake sitting on the couch (turns out I was anemic and doc didn't bother to tell me until I was in the hospital. I want to wait until DD is in preschool and DH has a schedule where he's home in the evenings so he can help with DD.  

poobear2015

We are waiting until next fall to try. DH was originally set to start again this fall but we are planning on being moved in to a house by summer '14 - and we want baby in the new house - not our apartment.

H would have another one NOW.  I would rather LO be potty trained by the time the next one is born. Two in diapers just seems... UG.  Although I'm a little conflicted about waiting a full two years since it took us a while to get pregnant this go-round... I can see myself caving after a year and a half.  

redheadscu

We plan on TTCing again when DS is about 2. That will give me some time to save up my leave at work so I can take a nice long mat leave again. It would also put me at 33 when we start trying again, and hopefully giving birth again around 34. Hmmm...typing it out now, it almost seems like that's too long to wait with my being 31. We may want a 3rd or 4th.

livinginashoe

We're already TTC. I can't wait to have another one!

MarnieMS

we are done done done done done done done!

DH got snipped several weeks ago. We are done (though not by choice ? my heart is too weak to get pregnant again). If we want another we'll adopt, but last night we were talking about how we were both okay with just the one. Sure it's not the family vision we originally had, but without the expenses of another child, we could give Audrey an amazing life full of various opportunities she probably wouldn't get otherwise.
