Hey waffles!

We are parenting and done with our TTC journey due to medical complications. We have twin boys who will be 2 next week. We may look at adoption down the road as pregnancy is no longer a safe option for me and once we get one of our littles medical concerns under better control but for now we are kept busy and on our toes by two toddlers in the full throws of terrible twos.

Hey 2moms2be! Good to see you! I'm sorry to hear about the medical troubles.

We are one and done and parenting. DS will be 6(!!!) in less than a month, which blows my mind. I never thought we'd be one and done, but it's the right choice for our family.

I cannot believe he will be 6!!!! Literally he was 3 when I started with the community. It feels good to be back.

The medical trouble were a blessing as its allowed us to dial focus on the two blessings we already have and be in the now vs the future.

I know! He's in kindergarten, has lost 6 (!!!) teeth in a year. It's insane. My baby is a little kid now. all at the same time.

We're 7 weeks pregnant. Hoping this is our take home rainbow baby.

[halligan]

Right now we are only financially able to have our two. In the future I know my wife would want to try to carry again if it's possible, but we are both 100% on board for adoption either way.

I am hoping for you as well!

This is very cool to see. Thanks waffles for starting the thread
I'm currently 18 weeks pregnant with our first. We're thinking 2 with being open to adopting a 3rd. Let's see how this one goes outside my body... then we'll make some real decisions

[shemarie82]

We are in the VERY early stages of TTC. Hopefully next cycle, we will be able to do an IUI. We are also being licensed for foster care, and hope to be able to adopt the child(ren).

[Stringy]

It won't let me vote anymore. But I'm on mobile which is always odd with polls.

Anyway we have a 20 month old daughter and are working on TTC #2. My wife carried her. Now it's my turn.

[mrsnorris]

We adopted DD1 through foster care and I carried DD2 who was born in August. We'll probably TTC for #3 this summer.

[14141111]

My wife is 15 weeks pregnant with DS #1. We are a little old for this, so not sure if we will try for another. We will have to wait and see how this pregnancy/birth/infancy goes and how hard a toll it takes on our AMA bodies.

[karlamo]

We have a 11 month old son and I am 9 weeks with our second. I'm 99% sure we are done after 2. Two allows us to be comfortable financialy with giving them the lifestyle we want them to have.

[kh826]

Currently parenting our 7.5 month old son and hopefully starting TTC#2 in the Spring! RE appointment on 4/6/15 - woohoo!

[wittyandwaiting]

Currently parenting my wonderful 13 year old son who is driving me nuts tonight I love very much and TTC #2 via IUI.

Currently in the Two Week Wait with Beta in 11 days 10 hours and 1 minute (not that I'm counting).

14141111 Don't let AMA intimidate you!

We have a 22 month old son, and were decidedly 1 and done until ... we weren't. I am currently 10W pregnant with #2, and anxious as hell (I also carried our son).

Congrats on baby #2! and it's good to "see" you!

My Sweetie and I are planning to start TTC this year, depending on a variety of factors. She has a big grad school type test in late February, so we'll sit down in March and talk over details. I'd sort of like to start ASAP, but I think she'll want to wait until summer/fall. I think a lot will end up dependent on how we want to go about getting the sperms. Low-cost sperm means trying at home for a while, which might mean we start sooner. High-cost sperm might mean we jump right into the expensive doctor-assisted baby-making, which means waiting longer and saving as much as possible in the meantime.

TLDR: TTC soon, hopefully!

[unoriginal]

We have 2 and are done. I had complications with my last pregnancy and had to have a hysterectomy immediately after my c-section. We were 99% sure we were done anyway though.

[bmorecharming]

We are planning to TTC in early 2016, but doing some legwork now and figuring out our donor situation, etc. I'm here to learn to hopefully learn from the experiences of all of you before me

[RM80]

We're in the TTC stage still. We planned for about a year so I know how hard it is to wait! We tried IVF with my wife's eggs, me carrying but that was a fail. Got pregnant but had a MC. We will start trying IUIs with my body next, hopefully in Feb!
