Should we go for a number 3 and if yes, then how long has it taken others to TC after Mirena removal?

Sorry i wrote on the Feb Bus, when i haven't even had Mirena removed yet, and still feeling very nervous about making THE decision. Anyone else going for a number 3 with 2 young children..
I can't believe how difficult i am finding this very simple decision - did anyone else feel like this?
Would LOVE to have another DS is nearly 3 and DD 15months. But my husband thinks i have lost the plot!

Hello, sorry, I wasn't ignoring you I've just had a very busy day and I'm exhausted right now.

Anyway, I say that really because of my own views and opinions. Not everyone would like them and I wouldn't want to offend you because you are rightfully entitled to have as many children as you like. I just personally feel that I wouldn't want to have more than one child. Apart from that, the main reason I said what I said is because if one partner is unsure then you shouldn't go ahead with such a life changing decision because after you've had the baby the other partner who wasn't fully agreeable to it may start to resent the situation. He might feel differently in a year or twos time though and perhaps now is just not right time for him.

You already have two beautiful children so maybe just concentrate on them.

Please don't be offended by anything I say, it is only my opionion and I'm not anyone special . But you asked me so I had to give you a reply.

No worries, i like hearing other peoples views & opinions, its what makes life interesting! Also helps me to form my own!
I don't know why your reply came through on a different thread, as other people have replied on the other one? Strange?
Its not that my DH doesn't want anymore children.. he just knows it would be hard work for me and wants to enjoy them and having decent nights sleep for a while! and being 'back to normal' - where as i really think we will have another, and would rather get on with it as i think small age gaps are so much nicer. I know a few years time might be right for him, but wouldn't for me, i will be totally over doing nappies and night feeds by then! and wanting to just enjoy the ones i have and get back a life of my own hopefully!
Everyone has such different situations aswell and so many factors which determine the way they feel.
Thanks for your reply :-)
