Im Ashleigh, 30, Hubby is 29 in March. Our son Greyson is turning 4 in March. We are talking about July/Aug to get pregnant. I want to avoid June so as not to have yet another birthday in March (and I'd love a lil taurus!!!). I wouldnt say Greyson was an oops, we had discussed having a baby and decided we were ok with the idea and next thing we knew, I was pregnant! Im hoping its that easy this time around

I'm Brianna 24, DH is Anthony 25 and we are going to be TTC our 1st starting in June. We will not be having an oops before then, DH makes sure of that, he will always use protection unless I am 100% sure we are safe. LOL I am learning FAM since stopping BCP, temping and charting that and my CM, it's a huge learning experience and I have what I am learning from my body. I would love to have a April-August birth month baby, so July is the start of our sweet spot, I really doubt I'll get PG on the 1st cycle in June.
I ordered my prenatal vitamins this weekend and am excited for them to arrive, it will make TTC seem that much closer and real for me.

 May/June is when I'm really starting to get the itch to get pregnant...so I wanted to lurke in on this post and see who else is planning to TTC around this time. I don't think DH's on board as of yet to TTC that soon though  It's something I'm going to continue to talk to him about, especially if the time seems to be right when the summer gets closer.
So a little introduction: My name is Megan. DH is Bryce and DS is Gabriel (15 months). I originally wanted a 3 year age gap but I'm really getting the baby fever so I'm starting to think 2.5 years apart wouldn't be that awful  We'll just have to wait and see I suppose!

I'll post in hoping wishful thinking will help it come true. SO I'll introduce myself but pretty sure most know already.
I'm Katie, 25, DH Tim and I have been married nearly 6 years, no munchkins yet and we live in Arizona. Luckily in the mountain area of Arizona and not the desert part. We had an oops in Aug 08 which ended at 8 weeks with a m/c and having to have a D&C. DH has changed his mind many times and backing out of TTC so hopefully I can get him to commit to a date and stick with it this time. Most recently he back out at our original agreed TTC date of 5 years of marriage, last April.
I really would like to have a 2012 Due Date but since that time is quickly running out I would go for an early 2013 due date.

Hi ! I'm Kate (34), DH Chris (39). We have one son Conor (12 mo). We plan to start TTC June/July, but as I've mentioned before, I really want one now! Hard to resist. Last month we had an oops but no preggy. This month I just noted the egg white mucus and had to resist seducing my hubby
Anyway, I am starting a new job in August so It would be bad timing now - like, hi, glad to get to work here, uh, I'll be taking maternity leave now. So, we are waiting.  Also, we find it hard working so much with 1 child, we will definitely need help if we have a second. But I just want one want one. It is such a gift. I always envisioned myself with a large family!

my dh wants to wait longer to but i don't he has admit he can't plan things and he wouldn't hate me if i just did it. so it wouldn't be going behind his bad i guess cause i have told him thats what i might do one day and he wasn't bothered.

I'm hoping to TTC at the end of July, but it's going to depend on some financial crap we're going through.  I told DH I would wait until January if he really wanted because of finances, but I think we're gonna go with July/August.
I'm Diana (33) and I live in Phoenix and teach kindergarten to ESL students.  Our first baby Ellie is 17 months now.

The only thing I am doing specifically is drinking red raspberry tea as often as I can. I really should be taking vitamins and folic acid... they are sitting in my cabinet.

Hello, my name is Jess and I'm a newbie to this board. I'm 24 and my DH is 25. We have a 10 mo old who will be one at the end of Feb.
We had a serious scare last month with my AF being 2 weeks late but found that I had bacterial vaginits. It scared the pants off me! I def don't think getting preggo now is a good idea. I want my DD to be at least 2 when #2 comes along. (Even though I am secretly DYING to be PG.) So, we will start trying in late May, early June. I anticipate that it will happen fast as we got PG with DD after 2 months of trying.
DH is chomping at the bit to get PG. I originally only wanted one but we talked alot and now I'm totally on board to have another. (But now he's hinting at wanting 3. NO WAY! I def couldn't handle that.)
Hi to all the mamas

I'm Leanne (33) and have one DD Akadia (19 months) with my DH Bryan (36). We are planning on starting to TTC again in April. Waiting for my cycles to start up again after a mc and I want to have at least 3 before starting again. I'll probably start getting antsy after 2 though! I'm still taking all my supplements - prenatal, folic acid, Red Raspberry leaf tea, etc...
