Tell me your positive and negative stories re conceiving child number 2.
DH and I are 35, one DD age 2.3. Ideally I would want to wait until DD is 3 to start trying as I want to be on mat leave when she starts reception so I can drop her to school every day pick her up etc. Also wanted her to be a bit more mature so she can deal with the new arrival a bit better. On the other hand i'm worried that TTC won't be very easy. Reading a lot of stories about secondary infertility and scaring myself a bit. Took us 6 months to conceive DD1 - conceived every month but each time resulted in a chemical pg until i started taking aspirin. Had an EMCS and subsequent haematoma which i've heard can cause secondary infertility. Also about two stone heavier than when I conceived DD1 and now over 35 which is when they say fertility drops off a cliff. So just wondering whether to take the chance and start trying now (but if successful it would be a much smaller age gap than i'd like) OR wait until the right age gap but obviously risking secondary infertility issues which may mean not conceiving at all or a mahoosive age gap. What did you do? what age gap do you have and any problems TTC number 2?
