2, please. I used to want 3, but as I got older and started having actual friends with kids, I realized 2 was plenty for me. H feels even stronger about just 2.
If finances weren't an issue, big enough house, etc... perfect world...
I'd love four.
I did have H on board with 3 but then i needed an emergency c-section so I had to give him time to process before he got on with two. If we are that fortunate.

We had the opposite feelings around my emergency c-section; H totally thought I wouldn't want anymore kids after my crash and burn l&d experience. He would have been crushed. Thankfully I feel like I want to try again and get the birth I want.

Yeah h thought I wouldn't want anymore and was sort of like "I guess we are one and done now huh?" But like you said, I'm ready and wanting more haha

This. Plus I'm getting older and don't want to be having kids the closer I get to 40. At this point I'd be happy with 1.
MrsRC-33, MrRC-37. TTC#1 since 2/13. DX: T2 diet controlled diabetic, removed multiple fibroids blocking tubes, via robotic myomectomy, hysteroscopy and D&C on 5/15. CD3 b/w normal. HSG normal after surgery. On the bench April-June 2015. NTNP indefinitely. Loss mentioned.
H wants 4, I would be happy with 2 or 3 (the thought of 4 is overwhelming to me). Since we will probably adopt all or most of our kids, we usually say 4 because we will have the option for less traditional spacing between kids and/or possibly adopt an older child later on.
I'm the loner picking one. I used to want a bunch, but money/time/etc. have made me want one. H is thrilled, since that's what he always wanted. If we change our mind in the future we want to look into adoption.

I thought I was OAD; H had always wanted at least 2. Now I go through periods of both.
Like, when we were first TFAS I was like, YES, TWWWOOOO! Then after a year or so I was back to, weeeellll, one is cool. Then at two years and beginning treatments I was back to gung-ho more kids, and now after the second failed IUI I'm like...well, maybe we really CAN'T have another.
Always wanted two. Now I've all but given up on that (unless twins) so I'm going to be thrilled if we can just get to one. Giving up on two gives me all the sads lately. Fuck getting old.

2 feels right but I'd be open to 3 (which is what dh wants). We did just talk about it this week after our loss and I opened up that pregnancy and loss are hard on me and my body, so I don't know if a we decide down the line about a third child, we might explore adoption.

I clicked 3, having one brother was ok but I kind of like the fun chaos of my in-laws' family. H is one of 5 kids. 3 seems like a decent middle ground haha.

I voted for 2, but I sort of waffle between 1 and 2. We don't want anymore than 2 though if that's within our control (if we have 1 and have twins or if we have triplets +, etc)

I have the love in my heart for four, but I have the patience, energy, and money for two. And my DH will not be on board for more than two. He is disabled, and that would put a ton of pressure on the both of us. Every time DD has to take a bath, I have to do it for safety reasons since he can only use one hand. That makes him very nervous about us being out numbered. After this infertility, I would consider two a blessing.
I chose 4. I'd love a huge family but I think 4 would be my max. 3 would probably feel right to me. It depends on how close together they would be, I don't want to be having kids into my 40's.
