In the 8 months or so that I've been around here, it seems like quite a lot of people start trying to have children right after getting married, so I was just curious.
The boy and I don't have a timeline. Whatever happens, happens.
We are hoping to begin trying within the 1st year. I will be 27 by that time, so age being the main reason why we will try so soon after the wedding.
I plan on going off birth control 3-6 months after the wedding.
We've been together for 6 years, lived together for 4 of those years (add 1 more year to each by the time we get married), so I don't feel like we're missing out on "couple time" by trying soon.
I'll be 28 when we get married; I want to have my 1st kid before age 30 and be done before age 35 (planning on 2 kids).
I want to have a whole slew of kids, and I'll be 32 when I get married and FI will be 33, so age is the primary factor like bride2bejc. I'm terrified at the thought of not being able to have kids, I kind of feel like I was placed on this earth to be a wife and a mother!!! I know a bunch of people who, for whatever reason, were unable to have kids. I'm terrified at the possibility of this happening to me! Although I want to spend some husband-wife time with my FI, I think we'll just get started a few months after. I can't wait to start a family with him!!!
I think it just depends on where you are in your life and what your priorities are.
We'll only be 22 (me) and 23 (him) when we get married. We talked about this and I think we'll probably not necessarily try when we're 25, but we won't try not to have kids anymore and see what happens.
My FI and I are both excited to be parents in the future, but we'd like to have at least one year of marriage to ourselves before we start TTC. However, we've both decided that if it happens before then, it happens. We'll be ready.
We have decided in about 2 years, so we'll be married a little over a year. It puts me TTC at 27 and he'll be 30, sounds like a good plan so far! lol
I want to go off BC 14 months after the wedding (early 2012). FI will be 31 and I'll be 28 at that point so I don't want to wait too much longer. But I want to finish nursing school and enjoy being married for a bit first. We want to buy a house too.
I'm going off BC 6-8 months after the wedding... FI will be getting a badass promotion (military) and we already have a little girl who is almost three. we would wait longer, but we don't want the age difference to be 10 years!
We wanted to try soon after the honeymoon (wanted to drink as much as I wanted during honeymoon). But we then both had unplanned job changes after the wedding and have had to wait about 4 months for new insurance to kick in before we could "pull the goalie".
I got married in May of 2009 and turned 30 a month later. So, I always figured we would start trying after a year of marriage. But then we were a few months shy of our anniversary, we both figured it could take some time to get pregnant, so 'whatever happens, happens'...whelp, it happened! i got pregnant right away--baby's coming later this year! Because we had just started TTC, I remember being totally freaked out that it happened before I was mentally ready for it. Alas, I did get over it and feel pretty blessed about it all now. I guess the lesson learned is that it can happen sooner than you think!
We just got married in July, im 27 (28 in Oct) and he is 27 (28 in April) we are taking our honeymoon for our one year anniversary so i DO NOT want to get pregnant in the next year :) I think we will start trying on the honeymoon and go from there....we (i mean me...he wants "a hockey team") only want two kids by 30 :)
A few years. My fiance is older, so that will put him as a new dad in his mid-thirties, while I'll still be in my mid-twenties. That's a little older than he expected to be, and a little sooner for me than I'm ready to admit, haha. I have lots to accomplish in that time, but I think it's better for both our sakes that we don't wait too long.
Not for 3 years at the least. We're getting married at 27 and don't want to TTC until we're 30 or 31. We're only planning on having 1 child.
We're going to try, like, immediately. Maybe that night :). I'll be 33 and he'll be 35 so it's time. Tick tock.
I voted within a year, we're already expecting and the main reason we started trying a few months after the wedding was that I was already 30. Tick tock indeed! :)
We had the old age thing working against me, since I was 38 when we got married. Barring anything unusual, we're done with belly babies now! Adoption is still on the table at some point.
I was 31 when we got married last year and I don't feel this mad rush to have children because of my age. My husband is *finally* done with his education and we want to spend some time just enjoying each other before we try to start a family. Our "go time" is when we are both 34. That will give us about 3 years of marriage before we plan on trying to get pregnant.
I really can't wait to get pregnant, however I don't think we'll have one until we are married and probably a while after that. We want to move to go back to school and then move out of the country (preferably to England) and we aren't sure how long that will take. But once we are all settled I'd love one! (plus, we'll be 22 and 25 when we get married)
We've talked about 4-5 years. We're both still really young (23), and FI still has about 2 years left of school to be a teacher. Then, he's planning on joining the Army (yay!!) and doing a 2 year active term, then going reserves. So, we're going to wait till he's settled in the reserves and has a teaching job, then having kids. But, we'll still be young by then, so it should all work out well! :)
We would like to have our first around our third anniversary. We'd both be 29 by then. We'll see though. I'm in the middle of a career change, and would like to have a job in my field, and have my master's completed first. That may push back our timeline a bit.
We plan to wait about 4 years but we're still on the young side now (23 and 24) so we don't feel too pressured by biological clocks at this point. But if something were to happen and I got pregnant earlier (would have to be due to BC pill failure but you hear about it happening), we'd both be perfectly happy and ready to become parents a little younger than planned.
We'll be 26 when we get married. My ideal timeline for having a baby would be between 30-35. So I guess we'll probably start talking about it about 3-4 years after we get married. :)
We'll both be 28 when we're married. We're gonna see how it goes, but I'm thinking of starting somewhere in the 32-35 range. I can't imagine having kids any time too soon.
We're going to discuss it again in 4-5 years, but for now, neither of us is ready/wants kids. :)
We're getting married when we're 24 and thinking we'll want to TTC five or so years later.
Probably within after a year of getting married. I will be 26 by the time we get married, and he'll be 28....still young, but I am worried that it may take us awhile because I've been on BC for a looong time.
A few years. I was 23 when we got married, he was 26.....i'd like to be 26 or 27 when we have our first. Ultimately, I want him to be 30 when we have our first, so that's our timeline. We would not be having kids this early f i didn't have endometriosis, so that puts us probably 3-4 years after the wedding
@blondee, I don't believe there are any studies correlating length of BC to difficulty to get pregnant,. I've always heard the opposite =].
As soon as possible. We've been together for 3 years. I'm 25 and hubby is 33. I have plenty of time, but he wants children as soon as possible and I wanted to be a younger mom, so we're going for it now.
If it were up to him, we'd have one already, lol! His dad was in his mid-thirties when FI was born, and FI felt like he missed out on a lot that his older brother got to do (playing catch, etc.), so he's determined not to be an "old dad". I want to wait until I'm done with grad school and we own a home, though, so the soonest we'll probably start trying will be a year or two after the wedding, when I'm 29-30 and he's 32-33.
@ejs4y8: No, but if you've been on BC for a loooong time (like me, 12 years) it can mask any problems you already have, so you won't know about them until you go off it. :*( I am stopping my BC after I'm done with this pack, even though we aren't going to TTC for another year or so. We'll be using other methods to prevent pregnancy, but we also both agree that an "oops" wouldn't be such a tragedy. :)
So, to answer the original question, we plan on TTC around our 2nd anniversary. YAY!!! :)
ETA: We'll be 28 (me) and 27 (him) when we start trying. Just thought I'd throw that in there.
I'm only 24, so I don't think it's something we need to do for a while :) Maybe in 6 years.
we're waiting at least a year before we stop NOT trying..we probably wont start trying for about a year after that. i'll be 27 and he will be 31 when we get married but neither of us feel the need the hurry up and have a kid (we have very few friends with kids right now)
I'm 25 and he's 30 so I'm thinking we'll start trying 2-3 years after we get married then have them consecutively untill we've had enough lol.
After our wedding, I will have at least one more year of school to finish (I am a part-time student). I will also have another two years after the wedding before I will be eligible for my Professional Engineer status and it is much easier to get a job when you have that as opposed to just the Engineer-in-Training status, so we are looking at about 2 years after the wedding before TTC. I will be 26 and he will be 28 at that time.
Right away and hopefully my medical conditions won't be a road block for me.
Well since we're not getting married until Fiance has a great job, that makes our engagement obscenely long (it feels that way). We're going to just let nature take it's course when we get married. I have some fertility concerns as well.
I am 31 & he is 28. He is finishing school.
We want to wait until he is done with school & getting a job before we try. Probably another year or two before we think about it. We want two, so maybe one at 34 & one at 36 (for me).
