Hello all!!
I am Dawna and I am 31 with two adorable little guys!!

They are 15 1/2 months apart at 21 months and 5 months old. I will be trying again MAYBE next month but I might hold off until my cycle is a BIT more regular. If I started earlier in life I think I would opt for TEN children

My situation at the moment is that I am exclusively breastfeeding. Joah is feeding approx. every 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours. At night he goes between 8 -10 hours without eating. As it stands recently, I ovulated and FOUR days later I got AF for the first time. That's pretty short so we'll see. To be honest I was actually hoping to "try" for a girl next and use the Shettles Method. But will probably just go for it and Lord willing will have either a boy OR a girl.

I have a certificate in Human Sexuality but have learned MUCH more from talking with women such as yourselves.

Hope to have a "short" journey with you ladies while we're here.

Welcome! My first LP was 5 days and has gotten progressively longer, but my son nurses more often in the second part of my cycle

Guess he likes the taste better??!

Hi and welcome! I could have written your post! Well, except for the cert in human sexuality

You had your boys a little closer than I did (mine are almost 24 months apart), but I too would have 10 if I were only younger! (I'm 33). I can't wait to get to know you better!

aaaaah.. Dawna.. we meet again..

..

I tried for a boy with Garrett as you know.. I used the Shettles method.. its pretty cool even you don't get what you tried for.. makes it fun..

.. Girls are harder to achieve though from what I have heard.. I would really like to see your next chart filled with more temps.. Just so we can see what your body is really doing.. Atleast you had a normal cy.. my body is still stupid stupid stupid.. I really hope to have a normal cy by this summer.. hoping to TTC in the Fall..

oh.. BTW.. I am lucky if I get #7.. but I would take 10 and you know I would

..

I would do it just to spite all the people that say anyone with that many kids can't possible give them enough attention

I agree, I would like 7...or 9....maybe 11 but we'll see how many God blesses us with!
