Anybody planning when they will start ttc again?

BreandMikewedding · October 2014

I'm curious if I'm alone in my planning. My dh and I have been discussing if we will have one more this whole pregnancy. I really want to try for another girl so we can have two of each. We've decided we definitely want one more and dh was asking me tonight when we should start trying. We talked about it and have come up with a ttc month. Anyone else planned for their next or even thought about another yet?

victoria+james · October 2014

I haven't thought about timing at all... we have talked about wanting 1 or 2 more after this. But we have no plans to TTC any time soon.

vrj0522 · October 2014

We also want more and are wanting to space them about 2 years apart, so we'll start trying when baby is about 12 months old and hope that I get pregnant relatively quickly.

Never!

BeanNut · October 2014

Next summer or fall we may start TTC...but we aren't 100% sure if we want 4.

We have been talking about this too. It took much longer to conceive this LO than we had planned and my periods were so screwed up after I stopped BFing DS, so we are thinking of not even preventing after baby comes in hopes of conceiving sooner. We may be crazy. We probably are. But we'd be thrilled to get pregnant again so that our next one is about two years apart from this baby. If we got "lucky" and conceived right away, we'd still be thrilled. Like, panicking and freaking out with a side of thrilled.

It took us much longer than planned as well so we are going to start trying sooner this time.

I'm a ftm and my fiancé thinks we will have another he is team two and through. Honestly I feel one and done! My pregnancy has been wonderful but I wouldn't want to do this again. I'll wait at least 5+ years for another, but no promises.

katylady09 · October 2014

Good grief, that is hard to discuss right now with how uncomfortable I am! We haven't talked about it during this pregnancy, but it's pretty much a sealed deal that we want 3 or 4 kids…so at least one more, and we want them all spaced 3 years apart, if it can work out like that. We started ttc with this when DS was 20 months and got pregnant right away, so they will only be 2.5 years apart (but still 3 grade levels)….so we may wait till this one is 2 before we start trying again.

aander6 · October 2014

As of right now we are so done.

futuremrsnjoroge · October 2014

I'll toss out birth control when this one starts showing signs of potty-training success. I've always predicted three, but two is more realistic now.

*All could change if delivery is a terrible experience. I'll be a one-and-done mom.

MollyC20 · October 2014

I used to want 3, but am 90% sure we are two and thru now.

caranichole · October 2014

We are planning for 6 and I want to be done when I turn 30 so....sometime next year, probably end of spring. Hoping for multiples.

andrieya · October 2014

I always wanted three at three years apart but geez I hate this! Who knows when we will try again.

Eelyak2 · October 2014

Tubes. Tied.

angeltennis3 · October 2014

We want two kids...and originally I thought two years between them (so we would start TTC in probably August/Sept 2015)...but that overwhelms me right now so we will see. I am kind of thinking maybe pushing that back one more year and waiting til August 2016.

I have a feeling a lot of it will depend on this LO and how we feel raising her, especially once I go back to work.

jenndub · October 2014

We're done now so we've been discussing how to make sure this is the last. But I always had the next one all planned out while I was pregnant with the first three.

You cray. :P

lol, I used to say that I didn't have a number... ;;)

MrsMac613 · October 2014

We are planning for at least one more as this is our first but DH is not at all interested I'm discussing when yet. He's still kind of freaked out/in awe of being a Dad. I know we wouldnt start trying for at least a year though.

Emerald27 · October 2014

Taking them one at a time.

I'd like 3-4, I think. And I really like the 3yr spacing. So we'll see!

ariel06 · October 2014

We'll evaluate when Teddy turns one if we can picture adding one last baby.

LightBright515 · October 2014

When this one is no longer in daycare.

melszum · October 2014

Never hahaha. 2 is enough for me and I hate being pregnant. But my advice would be to do it within a year. My 2 year old will be almost 3 when this one comes and he has kept me so busy it's hard to keep up with him being 9 months pregnant. I think it would be easier with a first one that hasn't started walking yet or has just begun walking

JessAnnJ · October 2014

We are two and done. Two is all I can realistically afford to have in day care and send to college. We started TTC when DD turned one and I got pregnant quickly during after two cycles. We had originally thought we might wait a year and a half before TTC and then decided we wanted them closer in age.

uksteph11 · October 2014

Due to fertility issues, my window of conceiving again is very limited. I am scheduled for ivf 6 weeks after my due date. As much as I want another child, I cry at the thought of being pregnant again that soon after giving birth.

[Deleted User] · October 2014

We'd like one more. Ideally, we'd like to have them two-three years apart. It took us a year and a half for this LO, so I'd say we start trying around November/December 2015.

2goingon3 · October 2014

I always said 2 or 4. The first 2 are 1.5 years apart and I love everything about it, so stands to reason we may get PG again in the next year or 2.

But, then again, I don't love being pregnant and this one's been a lot tougher than the last 2!!! As of right now I'm in a "touch me and I'll hurt you" kinda place.

applebottomgenes · October 2014

My 'maternal age' is a factor in our planning so we are going to try for #2 in about 9 months. But this will also depend on how all is going with #1, our financial situation, etc. I fully admit we will try everything to have a boy (old wives tales, voodoo, you name it) so my husband will not pressure for #3. We've been so lucky with this pregnancy I don't want to push my luck.

duckr · October 2014

DH has been actively campaigning for one and done (impending fatherhood has him scared). I can't make a decision yet!

Lindzoid · October 2014

Absolutely NOT!!!! 3 and DONE!!
Good for you though!!

I used to say I wanted 3 and then after I had my first I said 3, maybe 4. After my second I said 4, maybe 5. Now I'm saying 4. I'm not sure if I would try for another girl if our next is another boy. I really want my kids to all have at least one brother and sister so they can have those different relationships.

I only have one brother and he is a major douche bag so I wish I had other siblings. I don't enjoy pregnancy but I love the end product. My cousins have 5 in their family and always have such great holidays and family get togethers.

We are going to start ttc again in 9 months. I think a closer spacing is easier. There is 8 years between my first two and I hate that space. There is almost 3 years between by second and third and I had only wanted a year between them.

Jennifer18131 · October 2014

We'll probably start trying again this time next year.

gooberdoofus95 · October 2014

Well there will be 8 years between DD and LO. I've always wanted my kids to be about 2 years apart and DH agrees. Since this is his first we would like to have 4 together, 2 boys & 2 girls. So as long as everything is going great then we will TTC about this time
next year. That's only if we're lucky but I can't predict the future so you never know!

This sounds just like us.

This factory is 100% closed. It's gates will never reopen. Just for fun, I asked FI when he thought we should have another, and his eyes got huge. He said, "Never! It was so hard watching you go through all of that pain. I felt so guilty every day. I'm not putting you or me through that again."
Good. Glad we agree.

MuffinMom14 · October 2014

If I'm not completely traumatized, the plan was always when this one turns 1.

I'd LOVE to have one of each. But knowing that is not always what happens, we could MAYBE be convinced to try for a 3rd to get that little boy. Because I'm 33 now, we sort of have to shove our TTC attempts closer than someone else who may be in their 20s (I got pregnant right away this time, but it could take two years next time).

But, in a perfect world (I know, I know), I have a girl and boy and am done by the time I"m 36 or so.

MrsTinMKE · October 2014

My H and I decided that we are not going back on birth control any time soon. We are not going to really really try right away but it it happens in the next year it happens. We would like to be pregnant again by this time next year. After that who knows. He is going to be 36 this year and we decided to not wait to long to have children. Age plays a little bit into this.

pinkthinkmommy · October 2014

I have huge respect your you ladies that are planning to do this to yourselves again...on purpose! My first will be a month away from 18 when our LO arrives. Clearly it took 18 years for me to forget why I hated being pregnant and it will never happen again

golfingdarwinfish · October 2014

DH wanted 2, but after what happened last year and some of the more stressful times in this pregnancy, he very openly admits he doesn't know if he can take the emotional roller coaster again. The devastating diagnosis at 19 weeks last time impacted him way more than I think either one of us ever imagined. I think that after this LO makes it into the world safely he may feel differently and will tell me it's ultimately my decision, but we shall see.

Also, we have conceived first shot every time, but would do IVF next time around to avoid passing down a dominant gene that I carry, so that will further complicate the process a bit.

Are you in ny? Research dr. Kiltz at cny. He is a very smart man and very good at what he does. I went to an infertility conference a few years ago and he was one of the speakers at the conference. He's well respected in the assisted reproduction community.
