TTC After a Loss

how many kids do you want

has this process made you change your mind about how many you want? for me the longer and longer we try the happier and happier i would be to even just have one baby. if we can have more than great! i would like 2.
**this is not about if you already have kids or not**
like i'm thinking if you originally wanted 5 kids and then after trying for a long time are you thinking less than 5 would be ok too? i don't know if i could do this every time i wanted to get pg.

This. I would like two biologically, but I would be happy with one. DH and I would like to adopt further down the road whether we have only one or two on our own.

I originally always wanted 4. It seemed like the perfect round number. I always just *felt* like I'd be the mom of 4.
Now......after the loss and a yr of tttc this LO, I think I'll be fine with 2-3. We'll see. At this point I KNOW I would be happy with two, but a part of me STILL pulls my heartstrings to try for more.
Guess we'll see. Dh says if this is our sticky baby#2, then when he/she is 1 maybe we'll decided whether to start ttc again or just call it quits.

DH always wanted 3 but i wanted 2.
so technically if we get pg. again this will be our 3rd child and i think i'm done after this. i can't handle this TTC process. i feel like i've been living day to day, week to week, month to month. i just feel like i'm missing out on things b/c i'm consumed w/ TTC. blah.
I always said I wanted 1 or 2, but I think this process has made me open to the idea of having like 5 kids....but I don't know why.
That said, this process has also made me feel like I'll be happy/satisfied with one healthy baby if that's all I get.
My plan is to have one and not use birth control afterward. If I have another (and another and another and another!), then great. If I never have another baby, I'll be a little bummed but so grateful to have the one I got.
I always wanted 4 or 5. I still would like that many, but doubt it will happen. I'm open to as many children as we can have and will treasure however many we get.
I really don't want my kid to be an only child, though, so I'll push for adoption if more than one viable pregnancy isn't in the cards.

At this point I'd be happy to get one.
We always said two...H wanted more, but I never agreed.
I've told him that I don't think I can do this process again and one would be enough. He said we'll talk about it again after we get the one...

Originally we wanted two. My losses have totally changed my perspective, and now I just want as many as we are blessed with. DH is ok with 3, and I would love to have 4.
We'll just have to wait and see how things go from here. I'm trying to be open-minded so we won't be disappointed no matter how things turn out.
I always wanted 3 or 4, but now I think two to three is more likely, DH only wants 2, but that is probably because in his mind, we'll be boy-girl-done.
At this point, I am not ruling anything out, but I am getting older every month, and I'll be 31 at the end of this month. I also keep thinking of how old I want to be when I want to retire, and the older I am when I get pregnant, the older I will be when they graduate/enter college. Most kids these days move back home after school for a few years ( I didn't but my sister did, and hasn't moved out...long story) and guess that makes me selfish but I do want to travel and do lots of fun stuff when I am 55+. I don't know, I am probably overthinking this, but it does wander through my brain.

We used to say one or two. I'm an only and love it and he has a brother and loves it. We both were leaning towards two.
After the 2nd m/c we've decided on one. We just want one healthy baby and we are done. This process is hard enough and we've decided we won't go for two.
this.
