Re: when did you all satrt trying??

  • I didn't feel ready to start trying for #2 until after DS1's first birthday. It took us 3 months of charting/OPK's to conceive. They'll be about 22 months apart.

  • 14 months.  I wanted to nurse DD1 for a year and when AF never showed I had to wean at 13 months.  I m/c the first month and got pregnant the next.  The girls are 23 months apart.

    I had the baby bug immediately after I had DD1.  But I want to keep working, have all my kids close in age, but not pay out the wazoo for 3+ in daycare at a time as much as I possibly can.  Two year spacing fits the bill for us.  If I stayed at home I'd like them closer in age.  DD2 is 5 months and I'm ready for another!

  • 9 months postpartum and 10 months postpartum.  We were lucky and conceived first try all 3 times.  If you want to nurse for a year wait at least until 9 months.

  • We started talking about it at 4 months pp. My husband thought I was nuts but I've always wanted children close in age. I'm a SAHM so daycare costs are not a issue, cost was definitely our biggest concern. I'm not on my birth control now but we won't start really "trying" for a few months. If it happens now, awesome, if not, that's okay.

  • We didn't try, but I conceived DD2 when DD1 was 1 year.

  • We're trying right now (and we started this month), and I was 4 month pp. I'd like our children to be close in age, and no more than 2.5 years apart. I'd like them to be 18 months apart, but that would be in a perfect world. It took us 5 months to conceive DS, so I'm expecting it to take that long at least, since I'm still breastfeeding.

  • We wanted our kids close. We started trying when DD was 5 months old. We were lucky to conceive on the 1st try. They are 13.5 months apart (DS came 5 weeks early). 
  • We started "trying" when DD was 10 months. Although I had been getting my period for a few months, my OBGYN said that didn't necessarily mean I was ovulating. I had a lot of trouble conceiving our first over 2 years.....so she told me to used a OPK just to see if I was even ovulating.

    I was, we did the deed, and DS was conceived immediately. Hubby and I were both shocked that it only took one try. And to be honest, I think DH was a little disappointed that we couldn't "try" longer!!! ;

    Our little ones are 19 months apart, which I think is a great age difference.

    FYI I was BF my daughter at the time too. I was able to continue until she was a year old.

  • We stoped preventing about a week before DS turned 10 months old. We conceived DD the first month.

  • We started trying at 3 or 4 months.  My age was a big factor, I had DS2 when I was 40.

    Took 5-6 months of trying to get pregnant.

    promised myself I'd retire when I turned gold, and yet here I am
  • Ds was 14m. It only took once. It took almost a trimester for me to feel more ready.
