So here's the thing. .my first born is 4 in November and 2nd born will be 2 years and 4 months old when we ttc. My question is this enough age gap for trying for a boy?

What are the age gaps between your boys? Xx

Sounds fine :). I have 2 boys 24 months apart and 36 months for number 3. My SIL has 2 boys 13 months apart!

My boys are 2 yrs 9 mo and most likely 2yrs 6mo.

I'm hoping for a closer age gap will yield a DD for my DH...with other girl sway factors too [emoji6]!

My boys are 16 months apart, would have been 18 months if DS2 hadn't been premature.

My boys are 3 years apart so DS1 was about 2 and 3.5 months when I conceived DS2 :)

I think anything beyond 18 months is ok. Over 2 is great.

I have 3 1/2 years between B1 and B2, 13 years between B2 and B3, and 21 months between B3 and B4

I'm more concerned about the fact that my first will only be 4 years and 9 months old when 3rd is born. Because first two are only 20 months apart.

Completely personal to you! Some that would be their worst nightmare but I love the idea of a small gap! I really wanted a small gap with my first but it took 18 months to conceive which is why I'm trying again already! X

I will only have 16 months between my youngest ds and the baby I'm currently pregnant with (which looks to be a boy) and I was swaying pink so I would imagine that with a boy sway a small gap wouldn't matter much anyways.

Yes I love the idea of a small age gap too. I'm just concerned weather having both kids under 5 will affect my boy sway?

DS1 and DS2 are 2.5 years apart, and DS2 and DS3 are 2.5 years apart. DS3 was born 8 days before DS1's 5th birthday :) It worked out for me!!

This is one of those crystal ball questions that I honestly can't answer. I do think having kids closer together tends to sway pink but there are many opposites, and since it's maternal condition that sways, if you're in good enough condition to even HAVE kids that close together, it may mean you're ok to proceed with a blue sway anyway.

I feel doomed! If I do manage to get pregnant with closer spacing and doing a girl sway, I'll most likely have a boy due to increased maternal condition. We will still try, and I'll do a girl sway anyway, since I only want to give my DH until Dec. 2016. I just feel defeated already/ damned if I do, and damned if I don't.

My boys are 21 months apart but I know other moms with close age gaps that have two girls, two boys, or both. I had a pretty good maternal condition after DS1 though because of my diet and I'd been taking vitamins every day for 2.5 years.

I have four boys, B1 and B2 are just over 4 years apart, B2 and B3 are 20 months apart and B3 and B4 are again 4 years apart.
