When to have baby 3 (should we?!)

We have 2 DD aged nearly 5 and nearly 1. The 4 year age gap between them is because of secondary infertility which was eventually treated and I should be able
to fall pregnant again but obviously this isn’t guaranteed.

DH and I are still relatively young (he’s 34 and I’m 30) and we can’t shake the idea of having a 3rd baby! My first question is for those of you who decided against having 3 or decided to have 3 - what swung you either way?

Second question is age gaps! If we did have a 3rd we would plan for a smaller gap this time (around 2 years hopefully) but conscious that the 4 year gap between DD1 and DD2, while not planned, did make the transition much easier. Tell me how you coped with a 22-26 month age gap!!
Thank you!
