First off, not sure if this is in the right place - but need some opinions.
We spent a year TTC with my crazy cycles which ranged form 35 - 127 days. We were just starting to go for tests re. fertility, life was very stressful and emotional and my lovely Dad died , 5 days later i peed on a stick and got a BFP. And 14 months on our DD is just delightful.....but I'm biased!
Im 35...just had b'day and think i am developing ishooos re. age! I want another baby, want our DD to have a sibling and think that with our track record we should get a move on as it make take some time!
DH thinks we should lleave it till our DD is a bit older - until recently i would have agreed that it may be easier with a bigger gap. We are planning on a trip to Oz next summer to visit my only sibling but obv cant do that preg/with small baby - impact of we start TTC now. Though no reason why we could travel the following year, apart from additional cost. Also I had SPD last time and was off work and fairly immobile from 22 weeks - how would that be with a toddler. Money is another biggie, right now life is comfortable, i work p/t which is lovely, we dont have a big mortgage. DH reckons we cant afford another nursery place - though i would go back to work FT , if i had to.
At the back of my min is this fear that im not getting any younger, i dont want to leave it too late. What if it takes us 2 years and we dont start trying till after next summer? After we got married we decided to wait and have some US time before TTC, we did but it resulted in my Dad never meeting his only grandchild - i regret that, a lot. I am worried that waiting again, might have other negative results.
Apologies for this long and possibly rambled post......thankyou if you got to the end
