DH and I had the talk (yet again) this weekend. Unless our income magically doubles in the next six months (not likely) we're out of business. We're both more than okay with this.
Mine is currently occupied by an IUD. But I plan on taking it out sometime this summer.
This is me exactly. We were initially going to start trying as soon as DH got home in Dec, but I think having 6 months together as a family and getting reacquainted with each other is a better idea.

I would love to have another but I don't think I could handle another pg or the added chaos a baby brings. MH doesn't want to get snipped because he thinks I would leave him if I decided I wanted another child.(this would never happen). I think he is just a chicken, but I refuse to do anything either. I told him I had the kids he gets to prevent them.
We're not sure if we will have another. It took us 2 years and some very painful & expensive shots to conceive my daughter. We decided to reevaluate when DD is 2 and see if we want to have another and if we do, if we can swing everything financially.
After 2 years of TTC, our daughter was born on Oct 31, 2011! 7lbs 13oz 20 inches long ">
We have the one and done discussion sometimes, but we will most likely have just one more, in another year or so. Then I'm getting the NovaSure procedure so I can be done with periods.
If you don't know, it's a quick office procedure where they burn the lining of your uterus under twilight anesthesia so you don't bleed anymore, usually for women with heavy bleeding. I caaaaaaan't waaaaait! (Yes I'm grumpy about having my period today if you can't tell).

We're not sure if we want more, but its a moot point now anyway. DH and I are still in the "training" stage of our careers, so we don't earn enough $$$ to think about more kids. However, our income could increase substantially when one or both of us gets "real" (read: non-academic) jobs. We'll re-assess if/when our finances improve.
On vacation. But I must say that seeing all these BFP announcements has me seriously reconsidering if we should move our timeline up a bit. I know it's dumb, but I almost feel behind or something. When I'm not letting baby fever get the best of me I know it's better to stick to our plan, tho, which will be TTC in the spring.
This is me, too, except we'll probably ditch the condoms in January.
We are at the pondering stage. We are maybe on the one and done list....maybe.
This is exactly where we were, then BOOM! Yep, wouldn't ya know? It happened the very first month I didn't write down my cycle days because I forgot. Disorganization=pregnancy? In our case it does. Lol

This exactly. We would have to get a bigger home, too. We could house another child, but I would feel crammed.

DH is getting the snip snip in the next few years. I have an IUD so there's no huge rush, but he will be getting it done. I had the babies, he gets to prevent them now.
I'm shut down for business, which is what we always planned after #3, but the thought that we're done is still a sad point for me. I haven't grieved it yet I guess...
Number three is to be made in 9 months to a year. Possibly even a bit later. I really want one more though. DH too, but with Aidan being....well, Aidan, he keeps saying that he wants them spaced more than this time. Which I want too, alone to give my body a break and to maybe get this Crohn's crap under control.
I am looking forward to never feeling another contraction again, hopefully. AND I am pondering about birthcontrol until we ttc again. Right now, we are thinking condoms. Yuck.
Our original plan was to TTC this month, but since next year is so up in the air with me applying to grad school 3 hours away it's just too much uncertainty to bring another baby into the world, plus financially we'd be better waiting until I'm closer to graduation and a real job. : so I guess Mirena, you're sticking around at least another year.

Working hard, TTCing like a slutty rabbit..
We always planned on having 4 children, After My July indecent I would just like one more and I'll close up shop...(I think)
I am deathly scared to have another miscarriage.
Pondering....
