We have 8, our youngest being only 5mths and our eldest being 22. When we married my husband and I always wanted atleast 6. We are fertile myrtles, so kids arrived every 18mths. Usually fell when breast feeding dropped off, and usually before the first cycle arrived. The seventh was a difficult pregnancy, so we decided for my health to stop. I fell with my first while taking the pill, so have used NFP ever since. When I fell pregnant with the last one, I was 43 and there was an 11 year gap between this one and the last. My husband was over the moon, as he had always wanted more children. He now wants at least another 3, but we will have to wait and see. I pray that the Lord blesses us with atleast one more, as this one is going to be an only child in a few years. I fell with this one because of stress that I had been under from an external matter threw out my cycle. I am fortunate that usually my cycle is every 28 days, so it has been very easy for me to track my fertile days.
People usually ask how do you do it? I always tell them, one at a time.
