...is it too soon to be broody? We were going to try for a 2 year age gap but now all of a sudden I'm on the 2WW. I'd forgotten how long it seems.

Is 17 months apart too small a gap?

The right gap is whatever is right for you and your partner.

My friend has 18 months between her eldest two and she loves it. She had easy pregnancies, easy second birth and both boys were very chilled kids.

My DS is now 3 months so maybe I will feel as you do in a few months but I doubt it. I hated pregnancy, had a horrible labour and only now feel as if my sanity is slowly returning! I think that a 2 to 3 year gap will work better for me.

Sorry, that's not particularly helpful is it?!
