    The mirena a doesn't stop ovulation, it only prevents implantation.

    We have 3 and I would love another, but DH doesn't. It was a compromise for him to have 3, so another one is not going to happen We would need a new car if we were to have another, and all new baby stuff since I have been getting rid of it all as DS2 has grown out of it.

    We have 1 and another on the way. I am one of 5 (4 living) children. And my DP is one of 3 but his dad is one of 8.

    At first when we started talking about having children i liked the idea of 2 or 3 but he likes the idea of a large family. We agreed on 3 at first then 2 later on. Now i'm thinking that 2 would be just fine but we will have as many as we think we can afford. Babies/toddlers aren't too expensive its when they grow up i worry my kids will have my upbringing and i never want my kids to worry about money.

    Plus i'd like a career at some point and be done having kids before im 30. It was 25 but considering im 24 this year i don't think i could have another by my birthday next year (december) its do-able but i'm not sure!

    I have 3, but only 1 living. I would have loved 4 living kids but have to settle for 1 unless I find a surrogate. If someone had a baby for me, or if I could carry to full term I would definitely have more!

    I have one with one on the way.

    DH and I have agreed on three since DD was born but we just bought 2 acres which we'll be building on later this year and DH just got a hefty raise, lately he's been making comments about having "a few more kids". I'm not commenting, just let him come to whatever conclusion he's going to. I'd love a bunch of kids and he knows that.

    Prior to actually having my own children i used to say i want 4 or 5. Then when i realised what was involved i thought that maybe 2 was enough DH and i had pretty much settled on that. Then we had our beautiful surprise and now i definately want one more. Not sure if it will happen, i do have some convincing to do on DH's side of things but the fact that i have this 'feeling' which i have never had so strong previously has me believing in myself that it's a true feeling. So i have 3 children and want 1 more.

    I went and saw a psychic medium prior to being pregnant with DD. She told me my 'daughter was there' and even at the time i said to her ok but i still don't think so... I'm thinking i might go back again and see what i can suss out.

    Little dream/fantasy of mine is when i used to watch the Brother & Sisters show on TV. I want to be surrounded by my kids, as babies, as children, as teenagers, as young adults... on and on. I've always had the vision in my head
