    This.

    We've been considering ttc (or at least, not trying not too) in 18mnths-2yrs time, but we're going to discuss it properly next year.

    Still in e) for a while yet (implanon, pretty much as failsafe as it gets). Depending on how my work progresses and assuming OH stays healthy, the plan is to start trying in September 2013 when the implanon gets removed.

    Probably start trying late 2012, into 2013, and see what happens. As we'll both be 40 by then we can't wait too long before starting, but we'd like to have some time to enjoy married life before two become three (or more).

    My parents didn't have much time to enjoy married life before I started cooking (I think I was probably a drunken Christmas fumble) so, as much as is practical, we want to balance enjoying our life together against 'the clock is ticking'.

    It's not something we've really talked about in huge detail - I'm an only, my b2b is one of four, so our experiences of family life are very different. When I see them together, I see a lot of what I missed out.

    D) at the moment, but c) as soon as we're married and back from the honeymoon. So c) in 3 1/2 weeks time. Am lurking hard on the BT forum at the moment, and know nearly all my acronyms and abbreviations and everything!

    F)Never in a million years

    Just cant get my head around the concept really. Find the step children hard enough and the thought of being pregnant wierds me out- ALOT.

    Camp A and E with regards to more.

    With our son we were in camp D with a view to moving into Camp C after a few months if nothing happened but got pregnant straight away. Would like more one day but not for another couple of years and until we've bought a bigger house.

    I feel like a fraud until I'm actually trying! And as you can possibly tell from my rather rubbish 350ish posts in a year of being here, I'm not the most prolific poster at the best of times!

    Somewhere between e and f at the moment! I just think we have too much to sort out before bringing a baby into the equation (finances, house too small, H's ex wife will probably try and kill me). But am also aware that I am nearly 31 *gulp* so can't put it off forever *puts head back in sand for now*

    Similar to the other ladies, 'e' at the moment. Then maybe a year or 2 after the wedding we will move to 'c', we want a bit of time just me and him first.

    A bit of a, e, c. We got upduffed early this year but lost our baby boy, so at the very present are avoiding ttc until iv recovered health wise, then asap im ttc again. Emotional rollercoaster would be an understatement!

    At the moment it's D, but H and I are discussing whether to relocate or go away for a couple of years, so this may change.

    For a good few years until I finish my degree, we move to NZ, establish ourselves there for 1-2 years, then try.

    We are probably a mix of D and E at present, we would be C but I am a worrier about my job situation so at the moment we aren't being to proactive (however I am not sure how long that will last as a) I am no spring chicken b) I get very impatient and c) if the job market continues to be dire I won't be letting it dictate my life!)

    I nearly died for A, so we're sticking with F. Besides, age is not on our side, and we kinda like the little luxuries and freedom that just having one teenager allows.
