[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster here - Anne.  Trying for #3.  #1 took 5 years and #2 took 2mo!  If we have a third and want them close together so only trying for 6mo total before stopping at 2.  This is month 2. I’ll test on the 15th or 17th, haven’t decided which yet (period is due on 17th, I hate the false hope that there’s still a chance when you test early, but I’m also so impatient.[/quote]

Hi Anne. M.E here. We are similar: trying for a third. And our first took a year to conceive and 2 took ONE time in a month. Our second child just turned 3. The first two are only 18 months apart.

I am stupidly so worried about the age gap. At this rate, the 3rd child will be 4-4.5 years behind the others. We've been trying for about 9 months. I know the age gap shouldn't bother me but it does!

Good luck. [/quote]

Hi ladies. I’m not TTC but I was where you guys are for several years a few years ago. I just wanted to mention the age gap. Ours took almost 3 years of trying for #2 and they are 4.5 years apart as a result and it’s actually been great. Our older one really dotes on the younger and sometimes acts like a little mommy to her, but they also just play together too. There are soooo many things to stress you out when TTC (this thread has given me flashbacks!), but please don’t let the age gap be one of them. Kids don’t know what they don’t know - whatever the age gap is will be their normal. Just foster the love between them and get the older ones involved with the baby in whatever way you can and they will be good. Hope that helps...didn’t mean to butt in.[/quote]

PP, I love you. I have tears in my eyes. Thank you so much. Really. I know your time is precious, and you taking the time to write this to me has really helped and warmed my heart. Thank you so much.
