Did you decide the time was right to try or did your SO? Did you have to do any persuading? Before DH left I tried to persuade him...well, we had a talk about it, he has allllll patrol to think about it...

All of ours were and are "surprises" birth control doesn't work for all. Snip, snip for DH next. :D

my hubby and I wanted another child real bad!! We were trying for a few years before I got pregnant.

We always said we will try after we get married. We got pregnant 2 days after we did it :) LOL

DD was totally DH's idea... he left on deployment and asked if I'd go off the pill... I'd thought about trying, and I went off the pill after he left.. We had the whole deployment to talk about it, and it ended up taking a year to get preggo with Cam.

Cory was a suprise. With Lily I wanted another child and I didn't want my kids to be really far apart in age. I kind of had to talk John into but not really ya know. We tried for about a year and got pregnant but lost that baby so we started trying again right away becuase we thought it take along time to conceive again. It took only 2 months!

For my first We both wanted to have a baby... for my second it took a little debating because Tony was worried about being screwed over after having a child like his ex did and the third Tony asked me if we could have another baby :)

This pregnancy came as a huge surprise since I was on bc.

We decided to try right after we got married and nada. FInally after 9.5 years of trying and the right med combo we conceived and had my son.

With this one we had talked about when we wanted to have a 2nd. Neither of us wanted a huge age gap but we didnt want too close of an age gap either. We finally decided that 2 and a half year age gap was perfect IF it happened. He came to me on Mothers day and told me he was ready to try when I was (meaning go back on the fertility meds) I wasnt ready to go back to all the planning and charting and medication just yet so we decided that for now we'd let nature takes it course. And here I am :D We are both THRILLED

Same here. We have been talking about having kids, but it was definitely not expected right at the moment. We're both happy and excited though. I am however starting to think that like .1% or something like that that bc doesn't work for should actually be a little larger of a percentage. :thinking

We didn 't do anything to prevent it for about a year before we were married but it never happened. We still never used any bc or anything after we got married.. I wanted to have a baby so bad! We got pregnant with Ericka in July of 2002 which was 11 months after we got married. When she was 1 year old we decided to start trying for another baby in case it took a long time again and it took us about a year and a half to get pregnant. We were going to stop trying in January and got pregnant in November. Now we're hoping to meet our little guy very soon :)

dh and i are in a semi-agreement about when i'm done with my bachelors

I have always wanted more kids than my dh. Our first two were "if it happens it happens, if it doesnt it doesnt" so we were trying but we were not. Now we are trying again, but we seriously prayed about this one. We feel its time again, but are not sure about it b/c of our finances. But we figure we will never be able to afford another child so we just have to make room for it.

We are talking about it right now. He is scheduled to return home from deployment within this month. He is 33 and I am 28 so we feel like its the right time. Plus we are stationed near my family so that helps too.

When we married, we discussed when we wanted to have kids (for us it was a matter of our ages so we could have enough life experiences/financial prepardness, and then how far apart we wanted them factored into that too), how far apart we wanted them, etc. We had our first just a few months before we had planned due to a deployment having to be factored in and being afraid we'd have trouble concieving. But we were like, it's around the time we agreed, we're both ready (if we weren't ready by then we would have put it off), so we'll see what happens. It was def. a mutual decision with much thought put into it.

When we first got married I wanted to start to TTC right away. I was 27 at the time. DH wanted to wait a while. He left on west pac right after we got married. When he got back he said he was ready. By the way, I went off the pill when he left. Little did we know how long it would take. It took us 6 1/2 years to finally get pg.

We both kinda decided that we wanted a child together, well, that and the fact that DSS has told us over and over again he wants a baby brother and sister. lol We've been trying for quite a while now
