    For some reason I've just had babies on the mind lately. I think that if FI had I were married right now, I'd be ready to start trying. I asked FI if we could think about trying soon after we're married and he said no that he wants to wait at least a year to have time to be just us. I just feel that the last 3 years of living together was enough "us" time.  I think I've been two years ahead of him, in terms of when we should get engaged/married/and now having kids. I'm sure once the things get busy with work and the wedding plans get rolling again, the baby feeling will be on the back burner and FI will be back on the same page...for a while at least.. Wink

    We're seriously considering trying for a honeymoon baby!  We have a little while before we'll be married.  A big factor is my fertility which is questionable at this point.  It's a tricky situation, a lot of people suggest being married awhile which I totally understand.  Another con is that I want all of our student loans paid off, but my Fiance isn't really concerned about that (we'll have a lot less than average but still).  My fiance is pretty game for anything, I think he'd rather just let nature take it's course than actively TTC but I keep flipping back and forth.  I still have a while to decide!

    Honeymoon baby here.  However, he was baby #4 for us and we'd been together for 10 years prior to getting married.  Because we had 3 kids before getting married, a honeymoon baby wasn't a shock to us or our marriage.

    I'm on the same boat here. I have been wanting one for a while now, but the closer the wedding gets the more I want one. I've asked my FI if we are going to try after the wedding or wait and he said he doesn't "make plans" and I will have to find out. How cruddy! :"]] But we have talked in the past about having a honeymoon baby, which I would love!

    @divergirl: We're date twins :)

    I'm going to go off of birth control once we're married and let nature take its course. If it takes 1 month, great, 10 months that's ok too. He's a lot older than me though so we'd like to start not trying not to as soon as we're married.

    DH and us wanted to wait as well. To enjoy being married and maybe go on vacation one more time before we settled with kids. We thought about it and decided that it could take awhile TTC so we'd we'd stop the birth control and see how long it took.

    Well, we went out BC 2 weeks before the wedding... and I got pregnant on our honeymoon lol... SO.. yeah :) We're having a baby sooner than expected. I have to tell you though... there is never a "perfect time" to have children. There will always be that big purchase you want to make... or a vacation, or weight to loose or that small debt that you want to clear.

    We're happy it happened this way :) We're really suprised at how excitted we were from the very begining...

    LaughingMy fiance and I are going to start trying to have a baby on our wedding night!  We have been together for three and a half years and living together for three years, and we have decided we are ready now! If I didnt have to fit in to a very expensive wedding dress in 178 days I would start trying now!

    Good Luck and Congratulations to you!

    @divergirl: FI and I have already decided that we are going to shoot for a honeymoon baby ;) ... We are both excited and although "us" time is VERY nice, lol... we consider this time as "us" time.... also, we are moving in together this July so we will have more than enough "us" time... If you think about it... we are moving in July 2011, not getting married until July 2012, it will take some time to get pregnant, and then when we do, it will take 9 months for the baby to get here.... so I think we should be good...

    Good luck bees.... this is a VERY exciting time for us all!!!

    Me me me! We're NTNT right after the wedding. My fertility is in question a bit (PCOS), so we're going to just let go and let nature do its thing unless nothing happens within a year, then move on to other options :) Exciting!! Baby dust to you all!

    If we had our choice we would try right after getting married. Unfortunately I have a genetic disorder and we are either going to have to do IVF with a surrogate or do adoption. Since both options are really expensive and adoption agencies usually require that a couple be married a certain amount of time (unless you find a birth mother outside of the agency and do an independent adoption) we are going to be forced to wait. It is really unfortunate and sometimes frustrating that we will have to jump through hoops to start a family.

    Before marriage, we thought we'd wait a while to start having kids, but that all went out the window pretty much as soon as we tied the knot.  :)  We got pregnant like 4 months after we got married!

    we're stopping bc a month before the wedding. we figure it's unlikely to happen right away for us, but we'd like to try ASAP. his grandmother told us if we don't promise to make her a great grandma soon, she won't come to the wedding! haha

    We're stopping BC after the wedding and NTNT for the first 6 months, if we don't get pregnant then we'll start really trying to conceive. Honestly FI is WAY way way excited and ready to start ASAP (he's 25 now, will be 26 at the wedding). I still feel kind of young (23 now, will be 24 by the wedding), but we're stable emotionally and financially, graduated years ago and and all of that. So, we're good to go.

    I thought I might have liked to before but now that we're married and have new plans for him to start grad school in August we're going to wait until he's done.  I'm pretty happy that it gives us a deadline since I know we probably weren't ready right after the wedding.  I thought I was.. but really this time for "us" is amazing.

    I just realized yesterday how badly I want children.  I have always known I want a family but for some reason it hit me yesterday.  We are waiting a couple of years though because I am starting law school literally one week after the wedding.  Fun honeymoon right? I do think it sounds nice spending some time as a married couple before starting a family though.  My sister lived with her now husband before they were married and she said it still felt different after getting married so although you have had two years together already, you might enjoy the married aspect for a little bit.

    We started NTNT in August (after missing my depo shot), we are still waiting for something to happen, but if it takes another few months that would be OK!

    We already have one child and I'm on Mirena right now.  I plan on getting that taken out at my yearly in March and going on the pill or something for a few months until we are for sure ready to be NTNT. Right now we are thinking June. Which seems crazy because it doesn't feel that far off!

    I plan to continue birthcontrol for several years after marriage. No way do I want to rush into family life. Firmly believe "one step at a time".

    I want a honeymoon baby sooooo bad! FI is going to take some convincing though. ;) We've been living together for 4 years... We've had enough "us" time. I'm also pretty sure I'm 2 years ahead of FI in terms of getting engaged/buying a house/having kids, etc. so I totally know what you're talking about.

    I went off BCPs a couple of months before the wedding and we used other protection.  Around our 6 month anniversary we got a BFP.  We will hopefully have a baby right after our 1 year anniverary.

    We're both in our 30's so I didn't want to wait too long to try.  We only lived together for two months before the wedding but we're enjoying all of our time together - we didn't worry too much about having time just the two of us because we both knew we wanted to have children and we didn't know if we'd have trouble TTC.
    We started paying attention to temperatures etc... about 5 months after our wedding and were successful pretty soon after - twins are coming (God willing) in late May!  Laughing

    We already have a son who just turned at year on the 15th and we're getting married on the 7th of May...We plan on trying while on our honeymoon. We don't want our kids to be too far apart in age so we're hoping to get pregnant on our honeymoon!

    What NTNT?

    We have talked about it but we decided that we really do need a year of "us" time and also time to get a bit more settled finacially.  We've been in a long distance relationship for 2 1/2 years now and will finally be together in the same place 3 months before the wedding so we decided time to be together is really important to us.
