Who's TTC?

[Bluedaisy]

So ladies...how many of you are trying for another?

[holliberry28]

The earliest I'd consider trying for another is Jan 2017. Closed for now.

[mrsmonogrammed]

We're not using any steady type of BC but not actively trying. It wouldn't be the worst to get pregnant right now, but I think I'd like to wait until this fall.....this reminds me that I was going to call me OB to see about the mini pill now that I've had my 1st ppp.

[txngrl31]

This uterus is closed ....for now. Maybe open some time next year? I can't imagine being pregnant again right now. It feels like my body is still healing and getting back to its former self. Plus, I'm still getting accustomed to this whole being a mom thing, and work is becoming a priority again. Kudos to you ladies that are willing and able to get back to it!!

[trixi282]

Nope!
We've talked about having a third.... Someday, maybe.... We TTC when J's was just over 2yo. And if we decide to try for #3 it would be similar timing at minimum. We can't afford daycare for another before J starts Kindergarten.

[periwinkledaydreams]

Closed. Condoms for now because I can't do anything hormonal, but we're considering vasectomy cause condoms aren't forever.

[beersandweirs]

Condoms for now as well. Honestly, if it weren't for child care being so expensive, I would consider trying again soon. But alas, probably not for at least another year, maybe more.

[jillywilly]

Also on Tapatalk, so can't see the poll, but on the pill for now, it still feels like I just had a baby yesterday. By we've talked about me going off the pill in June, and then assuming a miracle doesn't happen going back to the doctor to start talking about transferring an embryo sometime next year.

[kemdupuis]

DH and I were just talking about this tonight. We'll either try this fall, or, more than likely, will wait until fall 2017 to try again

[iowamama615]

Condoms and pill for us. Not planning on trying until A is at least 2.

[jessila]

On tapatalk so no poll. I went on the mini-pill the moment they said I could. Still BFing and still no period. Planning to wean around June and going back on the pill for a year. I think we'll start ttc when O is 2.

Closed for business here.

[tjanca22]

Can't see the poll either, but were NTNP. We might start actively TTC once E turns 1.

We aren't actively trying, but we aren't actively preventing. I don't consider pulling out an adequate form of birth control and that is all we are doing. I used to take birth control pills and had a daily alarm set so I wouldn't miss it. Also, condoms are the worst.

As of now, I can't imagine actively trying until the end of this year at the very earliest. 

This also. Plus we only have SEX sex like once every week or two. Chances are very low, but if they happen they happen. Not sure when we'll start actively trying, but for sure once Oscar's 2yo (if it hasn't happened yet).

[carolyngrace]

haha so far it seems like any pregnancies here will be happy accidents

[tiffbot]

Currently very content, but we have talked about trying for a third eventually. At the moment I'm not interested in trying for a couple more years yet. Definitely aiming for not this year, we'll see when or if baby fever strikes again after that.

ETA-eh who am I trying to kid. We'll probably start at least NTNP come next year. I said we'd wait 2 years to even start trying after DS was born and they are 23 months apart lol.

[erbear]

I chose SS since we'd need to thaw an embryo and right now we have no plans to do that. We talked about doing it in three years, when LO is 3.5-4 because we'll be able to pay off our IVF loan by then & LO will hopefully be potty trained.

I'm being nosy here but are you planning to only try in the fall because of your school schedule? Just curious. For my old job, January and February were so crazy that I would have actively avoided a due date in those months because I would never have been able to enjoy a baby's birthday in those months and would have wanted to time it to avoid returning from ML in the middle of that time.

Wasn't there a girl who worked in politics and wanted to time her babies during non-election years? Who am I thinking about?

Oh we are absolutely planning for summer babes because of my school schedule. We'd be ok if it didn't work out that way, but it certainly was nice to combine my maternity leave with the summer break. I hope to be able to stay home with our future LOs as long as I was home with B

[pghtruelove]

Waiting until LO is 3-5.

[sugarkissed]

Undecided on whether we'll have another. Definitely closed for the next couple of years.

[missjenniebean]

Closed until Jan 2017, then we may be trying. Maybe.

[purple]

In an ideal world, we'd still be using condoms until the end of this year. But I'm old... So we'll carry on NTNP for a few more months and if it hasn't happened, we'll start trying in earnest. Not sure of the timescale for that yet.

[stinybean]

I would love to have another, but DH is OAD. He can't imagine sharing his attention with another LO. I really would love J to have a sibling. I really think it's important, but I don't know how to convince DH. It sucks because before we got married he agreed to two.

[Widget123]

[3dimesdown]

I voted NTNP, but I'm fairly certain I've had 2 anovulatory cycles and 1 normal cycle since my period came back. Also dh is focused on passing all his finals, graduating, and passing the NCLEX so he stays up late studying... Kinda hard to GKU with no ST and without ovulation.

He might come around. H also said two, and at this point says he wants no more. I think once V is older and can communicate more and do more things he'll be more on board. Right now the idea of doing all of this again with a baby (for both of us) is too overwhelming.

Also, I worry a bit about giving love and attention to another baby. Several friends who have 2+ kids said they couldn't understand before their second how they could possibly love him/her as much as their first. I think that's a common feeling.

+ 1 to this. I think for the first six months or so DH and I were so shell shocked we both were kind of like, well... maybe one is good after all. As DS is getting older, more interactive, and things seem to be falling more into a routine, I think both of us are starting to get more and more excited about the prospect of a second. 

[jillywilly]

Also, kind of related to this, but kind of a FFFC - I kind of want to have a second sooner-ish rather than later-ish just to get the baby phase of our lives behind us, particularly the newborn phase. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to wish time away and there are parts to this age that are so, so precious... but I'm also looking forward to just being done with diapers and bottles, being able to communicate more effectively with my children, and teach them about things that are a level or two up from how to put a ball into a fire truck. Also, I feel like we're in that baby "mode" right now, so we might as well have another before DS gets too far away from being a baby.

[dmoney]

Dh wants to wait until DD is 5 to start trying. I said NO FING way to that. I would like to start when DD is about a year and a half. So around December of next year. But for right now, our focus is on DH getting a job (he didn't get the one I posted about earlier in the week, but thank you all for the positive vibes). And getting our selves out of this financial whole we have put ourselves into.

+1 to all of this. Having 2 close in age sounds chaotic but I also think it would be fun to move through those stages all at once and then be done with them.

We are 2 and DONE
