We are done at 3. We knew we were not done at 2. My first 2 are 26 months apart. DS2 and DD are 36 months apart. I love the longer age gap. Like misspatty said, I needed some non-BF time. I had a whole year moving through life like a normal person and not in 3 hours blocks or pregnant. |

Chiming in to say 2 and through. I would love to try for a girl but I'm not up for chancing momming 3 boys. 😊 Also H feels overwhelmed with 2 so yeah. We are done. This but no way do I want to be a mom to 3 girls. we feel pretty complete as a family of 4. But it's so fun!! 😜 This is going to be about as big of a UO as me wanting 4 kids in 5 years, but if we have a fourth I hope it is another girl. It's familiar, we know what we are doing, we could continue handing down clothes. Plus I would feel bad for a boy with three older sisters 🤣 I have never had a gender preference before but now I definitely do. |

I feel bad because I know H really wanted a son. Butttttt yeah, adding a boy to our mix would have definitely been an adjustment!! |

We will be having another. We had unexplained IF and needed treatment to get pregnant with DS1. We both agreed we didn't want to use any type of BC after all of that, and then surprise - DS2 was our margarita baby (but we were thrilled). They are 21 months apart. I would love to have our 3rd with that same spacing but DH (who isn't 100% sold on a 3rd baby anyway) really wants to wait longer. I know that would make things easier, but I'm 34 and he is 5 years older than me. Plus, I think I'd just like to be done with the baby stage sooner rather than later. I'm with y'all sparky85 and marygracerich - babies are sweet of course, but I muuuuuch prefer toddlers I can talk with, play with, etc. I will be really hoping our 3rd is a girl, however I would still want a 3rd even if I knew it would be a boy. |

Hi just popping in after being out of town this week for my grandmas funeral.
I just turned 39 and had secondary infertility after DD1. I took femara for 3 months then conceived DD2. And I just took our first round of femara this month so we will see if we get lucky again. Ideally we would have more spacing between kids but I really want to be done having kids when I turn 40.
While I was pregnant with DD2 I was convinced I was done but after my bad birth experience with her I changed my mind when she was about a month old. So here I am, ttc again.
That being said, we have had some losses in the past so if that happens again we will probably re-evaluate.

I should check to see how many wondfos I have left and send them off to some of you. Someone might as well get use out of them.

We are also 2 and through. I love the age gap between DD1 and DD2. They are a little over 4 years apart. DD1 is a great extra set of hands when I need her to be. If I had to do things over, I’d still choose this age gap. The main reason being money. We have both kids in daycare right now and are dipping into savings each month to pay for it. September can’t come soon enough. With all that being said, I know MH wants a boy. But, I am done having babies and nothing is guaranteed. I do not like the baby stage and was on a roll with my weight loss before I got pregnant last year. So I’d like to get back to regularly scheduled programming LOL. We may look into adoption or foster care once DD2 is 3-4 and add to our family that way. Good luck, @aprilz and sarahh! |

Super duper done. H got a vasectomy in April. As much as I enjoy pregnancy, the birthing experience and parts of the baby stage, I'm ready to be done. After six babies, I look forward to having my body back, lose weight, work on my health, and get new boobs when I'm done breastfeeding in a few years.
