Before you found out you had secondary infertility problems what was the age gap you wanted between your kids?

After Teddy was born, Corey and I both said we wanted to wait until he was 3 before we even considered having another child. We didn't want to change two sets of diapers and figured that way he would be getting ready for school and not be as jealous about how much attention a baby would get. My problem with my prolactin was a blessing for a while since it was my natural form of birth control. Now it can go away so I can get pregnant before he's in kindergarten.

Between 2-3 years I think is ideal.

I really hoped to have another child by the time Caleb turned 3, my new goal is to have another by the time he turns 4

We started trying when tay turned 5 months old. We wanted them a year and a half apart. But it took us 2.5 yrs to get pg with tay so we knew it would take along time. Honestly I didn't think it would take this long.

I've always wanted 2 - 3 years between the kids. Sierra and Will where 3 years and 2 months apart. After Will there was 3 1/2 years of NTNP before my divorce with obviously no outcome, and now 3 years with Matt.......if it does happen again, time periods are out the window, and we will start trying again immediately after the baby is born.
