Why is that the "perfect time?"
We are waiting until May 2017 (have baby early 2018) so that we will have a 2.75 age gap, I will be done with grad school and I can take the rest of the school year off and go back to work when baby #2 is 6 months old or so. (This is also in a "perfect world" where you get pregnant when you want and don't miscarry. )
What about you?

August!
I want a summer baby next, and our ideal age gap is 2.5-3 years.

We're debating right now about TTC for #3. If we decide to actively TTC, probably summer or fall this year.

Maybe never, but if we have a third we will probably start TTC end of 2017, which seems so close considering I am still pregnant!!

Ahh, I'm so undecided! We want a third, but the timing is up in the air. I either want to TTC from August-November or wait until next March.

@simplyfelicity: Thanks! We really want it to happen this month, DH starts back traveling the end of the month, so will be harder to make sure he is home when he needs to be. Luckily he was able to delay this travel so he is home next week.

I'm really hoping we will TTC in the fall of 2017, so my kiddos will (hopefully) be 3 and 5 when baby is born. I'd like closer but this way we'll only pay for 2 in daycare since my oldest will be in kindergarten. This is if we even TTC again, but I'm hoping!

Next month! We wanted at least a 3 year age gap and honestly, we haven't been ready or even sure that we want another one. The timing isn't ideal but we've decided it never will be and we do want one more, so we're going to start. It is in line with our 5th wedding anniversary but that is more of a nice coincidence.

@snowjewelz: Same! Who knows, maybe we'll be in another due date thread together

May 2017 at the absolute earliest, I have been pregnant or nursing since Aug 2012 (with hard-ship and heartache added in there), so my body is taking a 1 year minimum break. I'm hoping I can get into some kind of shape again

@whenoceansrise: High five! At least we can hold hands in POAS threads

Whenever my period comes back, which probably won't be for about six months if last time is anything to go by.

Hopefully November? This is all assuming my period is back and I am ovulating regularly by that time. We would like a 2-3 year age difference!

November 2016.
We would like a 3 year age gap and enjoyed having a fall baby.
pomelo / 5220 posts
Probably in the next couple weeks. 
But we might wait until end of June or maybe the end of the summer, who knows. I hate to wait since you never know how long it is going to really take!

Late summer/fall this year. We want a 3ish year age gap and I loved being pregnant in the summer (weirdo). I'm giving myself some extra time to adjust coming off an IUD and because while TTC for LO1 I learned that I have long cycles so fewer chances to get the timing we'd prefer.

April 2017...I need to have a baby be due in the winter if I have to spend most of my pregnancy in compression tights like last time.
pomegranate / 3904 posts
Well, I'm 9.5 weeks pregnant now, so probably the end of 2017? I'll see what it's like with two at home, but my endometriosis puts me on a timeline, plus I'll be 34 by then, so pushing AMA.

Right now it is looking like late summer 2017! We should have DH's student loans paid off by then and we are planning a trip to Colorado for June 2017.
I told DH I wanted to have our first baby when I am 32, and he agreed with that plan so that would mean me getting pregnant August 2017 or later. Hopefully everything goes according to plan.

Not until LO1 is 3.5/4 years old, assuming all goes well with the one in the belly at the moment.
We want more than 2, but can't afford 3 in daycare at once. So, we'll need to wait on #3 until DD is almost in school.
ETA: This would be late 2019/early 2020.

IF we were to have a 3rd (and that's a huge if), I wouldn't even consider it until probably Jan 2017 or so. I would want at least a 3 year age gap between DD and #3.
pineapple / 12053 posts
we said we'll look at the possibility of TTC #3 next spring. could be pushed back a year depending on how we feel!

LO is 3 mo, born in January 2016. I plan to wean him next January at 1yr and start Clomid & Metformin in May 2017. I only get 3-4 months of Clomid, and we are hoping for LO2 to be born in the months of Feb-April 2018, due to maternity leave + summer break. While we can't time conception or loss, we can time fertility treatment.
Due to PCOS, my OB either wants me breastfeeding, on BCP, or on fertility meds... there is no NTNP bc he believes the hormonal imbalance leads to an increased risk of cancer.

July 2017 is when we are planning on trying, shooting for a spring of 2018 baby, that will put the girls 5 1/2 & 3 years older.
coconut / 8483 posts
Hopefully next July! I'll have an almost 3.5 yr old then and a just turned 1 year old.
persimmon / 1322 posts
Whenever my cycle comes back. We're NTNP now. Hoping it comes back soon, as I'd like to try in a month or two for a spring 2017 baby.
honeydew / 7622 posts
@simplyfelicity: almost the exact same as you. I'd love a spring 2018 baby in a perfect world- a 3 year age gap would be ideal.
grapefruit / 4770 posts
DH thought we were TTC now. No no, not until LO turns 1 in May at the earliest! I want a 2.5-3.5 yr gap whereas he wants 2 under 2! It is very important to me to have as healthy a pregnancy as possible, and I'm doing pretty good with my weight loss so far. 18lbs from pre-pregnancy weight. Ideally, I would like to lose 30lbs.
ETA- I loved loved having a spring baby, and my bday is in June. It took a while to get pregnant, so I'll take a baby when I can get him or her, but I'd love to start trying in July, which gives you that spring to summer window!

NTNP in June, shooting for a 
around August (if it works exactly the same as #1 did). That would give us just under a 2-1/2 year age gap. I've got baby fever so want to start sooner than later but also want time to get ready for the 2nd daycare bill.
@whenoceansrise: @snowjewelz: Hope to see you there!

Oh boy...still debating about #3 but if we go for it probably next Dec. when DD2 is about 15 months.
