My husband and I don't really like to say "unplanned" at all. both of our kids have not fallen on the schedule that we had for our lives, but we have always wanted 3-4 kids. So they were "Planned", just not "scheduled".

that like us...we had planned on having 2-3 (he said 2 I said 3) and had even named them 8 years ago but accoring to our schedule our first should still be a newborn.

I did the charting my basal body temp each morning method...it wasn't until I threw my charts out the door that we got PG! This one wasn't necessarily planned, but I somehow knew that we had conceived the moment we did the deed. -------------------- Rae SAHM to Wil (4) and Wesley (2) ~ Wife to Richard 10/20/01

Our second was sorta planned - we decided to try, expecting it to take 3 months, and got pg in first try. We didn't want a december baby, but she was born the 28th of december. Naomie was a complete surprise! -------------------- The richest people don't have the best of everything, they make the best of everything.

Our second was the bigger surprise, I was on the pill and hadn't missed any pills. We came to the conclusion that my epilepsy pills screwed them up. Plus my first was only 6 months old, when I found out that I was 8 weeks along. So, I couldn't take hormonal stuff, it was a waste. So we used condoms. We were good for 4 years, then on vacation, we were not so careful! Hello baby #3! Angela

DD#1 is a honeymoon baby. We knew we wanted kids - just hadn't really thought about 'when'.....DD decided for us pretty fast.

Even though I miscarried, I had to stay positive, and said, "At least I know I can GET pregnant." Trei-Trei was planned, and we were hoping for twins. When we found out he was a singleton, we already planned on this one, Azia. Azia, obviously was planned, and Geoff is already talking about the next one...

Needless to say, I don't have the option of being reckless with bc. -------------------- Jeanne "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride!"

With Nathan it took about 6 months to get a BFP... Tyler was the 1st month of ttc. -------------------- Married to dh since May 25, 2002 Mommy to 2 wonderful boys.
