Hey everyone,
Wondering how long you waited or plan to wait after getting married to start TTC? If you feel comfortable, can you also add your age and reasons for waiting?
FI wants to wait at least 2 years (!), and I don't want to wait more than 6-8ish months. We're both 28. He say's he wants to 'enjoy his social life' and save $$ for a house, etc. and that everything will change once a baby comes. I kind of see his point, but we will have been together 5 years when we get married, and we've had a great social life for the past 5 years! I don't want to wait forever....
Thx for sharing ladies :)
We're going to wait at least 2 years. I just started a new job, which I need to stay at for at least 1 year, and I preferably want to stay there longer, since I love the organization. We currently live in a teeny tiny apartment, and can't move until September. I refuse to be pregnant/raise kids in our current apartment. My husband wants to wait closer to 5 years, but I don't think I can wait that long, since I already have major baby fever. So we agreed to wait at least 2 years, and we'll revisit the issue then. :)
We already have a little girl and I want to get pregnant within the first year. He says we can start TTC when we get settled somewhere. we are pretty dang fertile so it shouldn't be hard LOL I will be 18 when we get married and he will be 20.
at least 2 years, but hopefully not too much longer than that. fi will have about 2 years left of school, and we both need to be employed by the time we ttc!
Got pregnant on our wedding night/honeymoon.
Had 3 kids out of wedlock previous to our latest addition.
I'm 30 yo. We had our first at 19.
We’re going to start TTC after my 30th birthday, which will be 1 year and 2 months after our wedding. My bio clock is currently on silent, so I personally could wait for a couple more years, but my husband’s bio clock has the baby rabies! ;-)
Probably a year from now. That would be about 1.5 years after we got married. I'd be 26, and he'd be 28. I'm currently in grad school, and I'd like to graduate before having a baby.
We want to wait about 6 years. We're pretty young (I'll be 23 when we get married and he will be 25) and about 75% of our student loans will be paid off by then. So it is mostly for financial reasons and because I personally do not feel ready to have a child anytime soon.
We will not be waiting. We are going for it as soon as the wedding is over. I am 30 and he is 31, so why wait :)
We are planning on waiting about 3 years. We are only 24 and 25, and in no hurry at all.
I'd like to starting trying after our one year anniversary or spring 2012, IF I can wait that long (big if--major baby fever here!).
We planned on waiting a year... but changed our mind just before getting married. Decided to start TTC right away. Im 26 and DH is 32. We were extremly lucky and conceived on our honeymoon :)
We will be TTC in July 2012, the same month as the wedding. I will be 33 at the time of the wedding and FI will be 36 (going on 37). We are going to TTC at that time because we feel we are ready. We are moving into a house this summer (althought a house is not required to have a child); we both have degrees....so school was finished years ago. We are both stable in our careers. So the only reason why I do not have a child at this time is because I wanted to be married first. Once that happens, I am set for anytime, lol.... My goal years ago were to finish college, get established in my career, travel wherever I wanted to go, etc... Now that/that is out of the way, I am def looking forward to becoming a mother....After I become a wife and a mother, I will be able to honestly say that my life will finally be complete ;)
I want to start TTC on the honeymoon, he wants to wait a while. Hahaha, so in reality, we will probably start trying around 1 yr mark. We would like to purchase a home first, and we are going to start house hunting right after the wedding.
I will be 26 and he will be 30 when we get married.
I'm 30 and he's 31. We were married for almost 3 years when we started trying (about 6 months ago). We mainly wanted to wait so that we could upgrade our house. We were living in a 2 bedroom condo, and while I know it's doable, I didn't want to have a baby in our condo. It was cramped as it was with just the 2 of us!
So, we wanted to wait until we got our current house and did a few renovations. We were at that point last June...I went off the pill and we started TTC in September. No luck yet, but hopefully 2011 is our year!
We are going to start trying in May. 9 months after we got married, im super exciteD!!
We'll be waiting a few years. I'm young and want to spend time concentrating on my new husband and our dreams/goals, and just getting settled into the kind of life we want to lead. :)
We are planning on waiting a year after we are married to pull all goalies. We'll most likely be moving cross-country soon after the wedding, so we'll need time to settle in and establish ourselves in our new home. At that point, I'll be nearly 28 and he'll be nearly 27.
We're planning to wait at least 2 years before we start trying. We're getting married June 4, 2011 and I'll graduate from law school in May 2012. We definitely want to wait until I graduate and start working before we start trying.
We started TTC a month after our wedding. I'm only 25, and have no reason to be in a huge rush to get pregnant (except that I desperately want a child), but my husband will be, at the youngest, 32 when we have a baby. I still think that's plenty young, but he has some (silly, I think) fears of being "GrandpaDad". I don't think it helps that both of his older brothers already had at least one by the time they were his age.
Before getting married I wanted to wait about 5 yrs before we started trying for a famiy. But now I have serious baby fever and DH really wants children as well so we are trying to get all of our finances in order and decide when it's best to start having a family, hopefully soon! I just want to be a SAHM so we will prob need to make some adjustments to our current budget.
We will be waiting at least 4 years. We're very young, will 20 and 21 when we get married next year, and we want to finish school and have lots of couple time before kids.
We'll probably start trying next year. Maybe this fall. I dunno. That's still kind of scary but still keeps us in the 2+ year range.
@MCC919: I don't think his point about saving for a house is a bad one. As soon as I got pregnant it seemed like the bills and expenses started coming in. I thought I would have 9 more months to save but I guess not!
I'm 25 and my husband is 23, and we started right after getting married. We were both more excited about starting a family than anything else.
we won't TTC until he graduated from graduate school. With just me working full time and the sole breadwinner and him occupied 90% of the time w/school we've decided to wait until late 2013 or 2014.
I've agreed to it and it's nice to have the secured deadline based on school... although I have a feeling it's going to be hard in a year or 2. We're both 26.
We are going to wait at least 3 years. I am starting law school about 10 days after we get married and definitly do not want to juggle a baby/pregnancy and law school if I don't have to. He will be 29 and I'll be 9 days from my 27th birthdy when we get married.
We're starting right away - he's 33 and I'm 28, we have a house and we've both been out of school and in professional jobs for a while now. I think it makes sense to wait until school is out of the picture and you have steady income. But I can also understand that when the baby bug hits you, it's hard to wait.
Hee Hee, you didn't have a poll response for me... which was "a few hours". :)
We are going to wait 2ish years before we TTC! I will be 22 when we get married in July and he will be 24! I told the FI (who is so eager to have children) that I want to go skiing, to Vegas, and to New York before I'm pregnant and having kids!
I love being married and not having children. We are waiting 3+ years. I think! :)
@SecretName: I guess I see your point... why do men have to be so practical?
lol @Mrs. DG!
It's interesting how life doesn't always work out how you imagined it. I can't really complain bc there is so much to be grateful for: I have my dream job, FI recently finished law school and just started working, we enjoy the city we live in, and we both have wonderful families. Sooooo, I'm focusing on the positive and I know it will happen when it's right for us. (But it is still hard to wait!)
We're getting married in eleven days (!) and we'll pretty much be pulling the goalie straight after our honeymoon! I'm almost 29, he's almost 31 and we've been together for 7.5 years.
I was 32 when we got married and he was 35 - we started trying within 4-5 months and conceived in our 2nd month of trying. We haven't been together that long - only 3.5 years when we got married - but I was concerned we'd have trouble TTC and luckily having children is a priority for both of us so we thought we'd give it a whirl. Now we're expecting identical twins in May!
We are waiting until almost 2 years after the wedding to start trying (before our two year anniversary)...
We are waiting for 4+ years so I selected 'not for a long time'. Maybe seems like a while, but we're (ok, I'm) really young and have lots of time.
We'll start almost immediately. Schools done, house will be bought...
My FI will be 30 and I'll be 25 we've been together for 7 years and are just ready.
