Hmmm, well we agreed to start trying around when DD turns 1 - I would ideally like 1.5-2years between them as my middle bro and I were really close when we were little because of our ages being close like that so I would like it for DD - BUT on the other hand I think about how much extra work it will be with 2 so little and DH is enjoying the bit more sleep etc we have now or when she has a bad day I think but how will we cope???
(I realize I'm blabbering) I guess I'm trying to say that it's normal to have mixed feelings - and if you do fall pregnant sooner than expected - well that's why pregnancy is so long - 9 months to get well and truly used to the idea. Sounds like you've got a plan and for good reason if you're worried about how long it might take you TTC, and not being 100% isn't a bad thing - it's just means you are a normal person who is considering everything.
We wanted kids close together and it took us 12 months to conceive DS, so thought we would see when AF returned and then decide what to do.
AF returned at 6 months (january) and in march we decided to start TTC but not fanaticlly like we did with DS got preg 2nd month of TTC as i said it was not the full on try like we did with DS.
I knew when AF was and when i was due to ovulate approximatly and to be honest i have no idea how we did conceive as the 2 days were not normal conceive days as per previous charting.
I think that if you're thinking about TTC then you are ready - if you didn't have any reservations I'd think there'd be problems!!!!! As mentioned, it is a long time between conception & birth so is best to consider that in your preparations.
We're TTC #2 and we had reasons to delay this long. I know it makes it statistically more difficult but I was not ready to TTC prior to this. Having said that, I'm still "omg are we doing the right thing" !!!
