    I plan for LO to be 3-3.5 before having another. Although I definitely have baby fever right now, I want to be a family of 3 for a while before having another child. Plus DH and his sister are 3.5 years apart and are still close. I feel like any farther apart in age is pushing it.

  • I voted "before LO first bday" because we will start trying in jan. Then they will be 20ish months apart

  • I lvoted before LOs birthday buuuuuuttt... It really depends on how things go in August. If DH makes Chief than we will probably hold off until he's 3 since we'd be going overseas

  • DD is probably going to be our one and only. I'm about 99% sure. We will wait a couple years and talk about it again. DD has been a handful, and I can't imagine going through it with another.

    Well, I'm not on BCP! We don't use condoms. Breastfeeding will be good enough...right? Yes! So when it happens? Will actively try a year from now.


    Pretty much exactly this.

  • This is our last. We have a girl and a boy. There are several reasons we're done. The first is that I don't think we could maintain our level of happiness, sanity, finances, and overall balance with three. The second is that I don't want kids closer in age than 2 years. I'm 34 and the idea of having another baby at 36 just isn't appealing. Lastly, I cannot do another newborn. I think it would just break me.

  • DS1 and DS2 are 26 months apart. We want a little break now with more like a 3-4 yr gap before 2 more.

  • We won't even think about another IVF cycle until DS is a year old, then we will have to come up with finances. In don't like thinking about it because there's a very real possibility we will be one and done, and it makes me sad because I feel like that decision was ripped away from us. :(

  • I think I'm done.
    I have a tween and 2u2.
    Not to mention I'm 41.

    If we have another I'm sure I will have 3u3 because we waited so long for the vasectomy appointment...sigh...(still waiting).
  • In nine months...
  • If I had more help and more money and could stay home if start trying yesterday. However there is this thing called reality that I live in and Sloan is costing us a fortune. I knew it would be expensive but didn't think this expensive.

    On top of that I'm really struggling through the newborn/ infant stage. I love her to death , I'm just not that great at playing for hours on end when playing doesn't consistent of much
  • lovethatdirtywater  no, well if I am it would be less than 24 hours past conception... I answered when do I want one and that is when.  I am in my fertile phase so...
  • lovethatdirtywater yes I am a little crazy but we are older so no time to waste, all best wishes would be appreciated as I'll probably test right at/before my 42nd bday 7/26

     

  • We aren't preventing as of this month, but we did IUI to have lo, so if we need treatments again we will start those in September.
    We will be losing a quarter of our income in January, so we need to do it sooner than we wanted, originally wanted to start when lo turned one.
