Title is self-explanatory.

We want our kids to be close in age (both DH and I are and have closely spaced siblings) and have planned on starting to TTC when Christian is about a year old - which is about a month and a half away. Obviously a lot can happen and change in that amount of time, but for now, I'm not ready yet. I thought I would be itching to have another baby by now, and I'm not quite sure what it is that is holding me back from reaching that ready stage, but I have zero baby fever. DH is pretty well ready whenever I say "go", so I don't think I'll have any issues convincing him. I just need to convince myself. lol

I hope to soon also, mostly because of my age though. If I am going to have another baby, I don't want to wait too much longer. I am thinking that we will start paying more attention to TTC around Octoberish. DH is totally on board with me now, it took a little talking and convincing because he was deadset on having no more.

Ya, we're kind of pressed for time too due to DH's age. Plus the fact that I want to go through pregnancy & delivery before we move & DH retires from the military (not sure what kind of health insurance we'll have when he retires and changes careers so I want to take full advantage of what we have now) adds to wanting to get on it asap.

We are technically NTNP, but I have some BC films that I need to start using. I thought I'd want to start right away, but I like being able to give all my time to Cherie and can't imagine having to split my time yet.

I hope it happens quick for all of us this time, though. We've definitely paid our dues!

We aren't TTC right now, but I *think* we'll start when Elliott is around a year old because of my age and I would really like to have 3, optimally, and I'll already be 33 in December. WE want to get moved into a new house before we TTC, so we'll see how things unfold.

We aren't yet, but we will relatvely soon. I'm already 34, and we want to have another one, so I figure maybe when Nathan is around a year old we will start trying again.

We are going to start ttc when Ana is a year old. I would love to try now, but I think its too hard if they´re so close. My Mum had my sister and I 12.5 months apart and says its really not fair on the eldest who has to be big brother/sister at 1!. But it took us 8 months with Ana, so I dont know if we should start a bit before, or if the 2nd is easier?

Good luck to all those who are thinking of trying!!

We probably won't be TTC again until Mari is 2 years old, though it's hard to think that far in advance at this point! I don't want to wait too long since we are hoping for 3 kids total, but we will see what happens

Good luck to those who will be TTC again soon!

just to put this out there, my sister tried for 2 years to have her daughter (who is about to turn 2 in September). Her and her DH decided they would NTNP starting last month b/c she assumed it would take a long time ago. She just found out Friday she's pregnant (haha, it took her one month!)

This also happened to my co-worker who was BF and as soon as she stopped she got pregnant (her kids will be 18 months apart) and it took her 2 years as well for her first!

So, this is just my but I wanted to share, for those of you who had a difficult time conceiving your first, that it could happen fairly quickly the second time around!!

I think we'll start trying when Allie is around 2, but who knows...it keeps getting earlier & earlier! At first, DH wanted to wait until she was in kindergarten to have another (& at the time, I wasn't sure if I even wanted another). But that all changed when Allie was about 3 months...I guess b/c things got so much easier then. Now I know I definitely want another & DH & I both want to try much sooner. But he's funny...one minute he'll say we should start when she's around 2 or 3 & the next minute he'll say he wants one now. Something tells me he won't need much convincing
I don't want to wait too too long though. I'm turning 30 in 2 weeks & while that's not old, I'd just prefer to be done having babies by 33. On the other hand, I love my time with Allie so much, it's hard to imagine having another just yet. I don't want to miss anything in her first year or two.

Good luck to those who are ttc though!
