[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It took us three years to have our first.  I decided during all that that the "perfect time to have children" doesn't exist for us.  So that threw any notion of "perfect spacing" out the window because I wasn't foolish enough to think I had control over that.

Not knowing how long it'd take we stopped preventing before our first turned a year old.  I figured I'd much rather have two children, a bit closer together than I wanted, than risk not ever having a second at all.  #2 was born when #1 was 26 months old.  I mostly feel lucky our second didn't take years to conceive so we could skip all that stress.

This is a lot like my story.  It took us years to conceive our first and I was told I have a lower ovarian reserve for my age.  We started trying after our son was a year old because we anticipated a long journey.  The second was conceived the first month we tried.  They're closer than two years in age (21 months) but I'm so grateful I'm able to have the second.[/quote]
