When are you going to start trying for #2? DH wants to start trying earlier than I do...i don't want to start trying until DS is 2. What are you thinking about doing?

My two are about 22 months apart and I love it! #3 will be a bit further apart due to our financial situation (we'll hopefully ttc when DD2 is 2-2 1/2, once DH has finished his PhD), but given the chance I would do about 2 years apart again. DD1 had very few jealousy issues (not none since she is human) and has no memory of life without her sister. I'm a little worried about how #3 will do being further apart from his/her closest sibling, but I have to hope and assume it will be fine!
TTC #2 since March 2010.
2 LOSSES ... c/p - Dec 2010. Ectopic - March 2011.
Me: 35; DH: 34
DX: DOR, egg quality issues ; DH - all normal
FSH 10.1, Estradiol 21.8, AMH 0.49
IVF #1 (Oct/Nov 2011) (Antagonist with BCP's)- 5R, 0 eggs to transfer
CD3 b/w by same RE 1/2012: FSH 6, AMH 1.4...wtf??
IVF #2 (Apr 2012) EPP/Antagonist with ICSI - 10R, 7M, 6 ICSI'd, 2F. 3DT = BFN
AMH tested by new RE 6/2012 - 2!
Saving money for IVF #3. Started a ton of supplements in May 2012 and hoping for a miracle!
SURPRISE BFP!! (October 2012)
We wanted ours about 2.5 years apart. For us, it's a great age difference and I know that I personally wouldnt want them any closer than that. I think up to 4 years apart would be good, though.
We are going to start ttc #2 in September when LO is 11 months. It took us a long time for her though (two years-I have PCOS), so we're not trying but not preventing now.
I think we'll start TTC after Landon is 2, so sometime in the fall/winter of 2011. I'd like him to be at least 3 before we add another, but who knows! After October (our wedding), I wouldn't be upset if we had another faster I've always wanted to wait, but we'll see!
We originally thought we would stop being careful around LO's first birthday but I am now wanting to push it back for a little while. We need to get a little more financially secure as well as I just want some more time with LO before we have another one. We said we would talk about it again maybe when he is 18 months or so. We were lucky to not have any trouble last time so I don't want to start trying until I think we are ready. I just tell myself I will know when we need to begin trying because I did last time.

IF we decide to have another one it won't be til DS is about 3 when we start trying
"You're gonna miss this You're gonna want this back You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast..."
This. 2U2 or even 2U3 gives me a headache just thinking about it! DS is a difficult baby, I may have felt differently if he was easy.
The plan is, after we buy a house. But LORD KNOWS when that will be. I am praying that we can start TTC when Nora is about 2 years old.
My older sister and I are just under 3 years apart, and I think that's the perfect age difference.

Let's try this again...

We have been open to life, but will seriously start trying, as in paying attention to my cycles, once DD turns 1.
