    AF returned when DS1 was 6 months old, at 8 months old we thought TTC would be a good idea 9 months old we were preg, was surprised as I didnt think we had DTD on right days!

    Was awesome surprise after taking 12 months post mc to conceive DS1.

    Good luck

    From memory i think DS1 was approx 17 months old when we first started trying and fell pregnant with #2. We weren't expecting it to happen so quickly

    DS was 13 months when M was conceived. That was my first cycle since having DS too. We weren't actively trying but not actively not trying either - just seeing what happens.

    Age gap between siblings is such an individual family thing. 21 months between my 2 is pretty full on but pretty fun at times too.

    I have been TTC #2 since the start of Feb 2010, so DD was just over 16 months.

    We wanted to when DD was 4months old as we wanted them close, but we had to wait for my depo shot to wear off so started when she was 6months old, charting and actively TTCing. We didn't fall preg with #2 until she was 21months but then we lost that bub at 12 weeks We fell again the next cycle so she was 2 and a month I think.

    DS would have been around 8 months when i fell with bundy. and we'd taken the "if it happens it happens" rout. two cycles later ...

    We started when DS was 10 months, fell pregnant first cycle m/c, then conceived when DS was 12 months old. We have 21 months between my kids and it's a better age gap than I could have planned for.
    We were ready to TTC #2 from 3 months LOL.

    We haven't begun TTC #2 but we aren't preventing either - though since DD was born I can probaby count the occasions of DTD on one hand!

    AF hasn't returned yet and I have said to DP that anything could happen and he is too provide the condoms if he doesn't want another bubba just yet... but in all honesty with BF, PCOS, insulin resitance and being overweight... I doubt I am fertile but I accept there is a risk

    DP has said he would like a 3 or 7 year age gap, I told him 3 years would be ok but that prevention is his responsibility

    We started TTC when DS was 20 months....it took 3 shots so found out I was preg when he was 23 months. Didn't want them too close together but not too far apart either so worked out well for us
