Anyone else starting the "ttc journey" again (although I hate the pressure that the title ttc gives)?

How old is your dc1? And how did you decide you were ready to start "trying" again?

Have found it mind-boggling weighing up pros and cons of small age gaps vs big age gaps, and autumn vs spring babies. But then again, all that calculating may come to nothing!!!

DS is 9 months old and we may have inadvertently started trying again yesterday! I have one blocked tube so like before I am expecting it to take a while.

10 months? fair play!

dc1 is 17 months. my thoughts re: "going again" have been hugely affected by c-section. unfortunately I had to have one with dc1 and had a really poor recovery (infection in womb, dc turned six months the week I had my first day I was pain free in my womb, nine months when I was pain free every day). My concern is that if I have to have another section, i would need dc to be walking and toilet trained.

before that, I would of been of the mindset of popping one out a year, for three or four years in a row!!!

Yup! Dd is 10 months and my cycle is all over the place. This is only my second since conceiving her.
How old is your dc1?
