We waited approximately 6 months after marriage to ttc. I was 25 DH 33. It took us a while to conceive and just had DS almost 3 years after our wedding. We didn't want to wait because of DH's age and glad we didnt since it took so long to conceive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-wait-to-have-kids-1/page/2#post-2231869 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 15:31:51 +0000 yoursilverlining 2231869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got pregnant 1 year after we got married (which is when we stopped using protection).

LO born a few months past our 5 year anniversary. We had told everyone 5 years at our wedding just to keep them off our back and it ended up creepily accurate! I wanted to be done with residency before kids and despite the first pregnancy ending in miscarriage timing worked out well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-wait-to-have-kids-1/page/2#post-2231852 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 15:12:43 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2231852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried to do it immediately, but IF had other plans, so it took two years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-wait-to-have-kids-1/page/2#post-2231841 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 15:07:15 +0000 birdofafeather 2231841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we waited until after our 2 year wedding anniversary. we had been together 5.5 years at that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-wait-to-have-kids-1/page/2#post-2231835 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 15:03:40 +0000 JessKas 2231835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stopped preventing 2 months before our wedding figuring it would take 6+ months...I was 7-8 weeks pregnant at the wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-wait-to-have-kids-1/page/2#post-2231826 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 14:58:42 +0000 yerpie110 2231826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were married for 3.5 years before LO #1's birth. I wanted to be as close to being done with my education as possible, hence the wait. We got pregnant faster than expected, but luckily I managed to pass the national exam for psychology licensure when I was 8 months pregnant :grin: So glad I didn't have any studying left to worry about post-baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-wait-to-have-kids-1/page/2#post-2231821 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 14:52:26 +0000 jape14 2231821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We said we wanted to be married 4-5 years before having kids - DS was born after we'd been married for just about 4.5 years. I wanted to wait to start trying until after I finished my PhD - we pulled the goalie about 4 months after I defended my dissertation (Europe trip + started new job in between). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-wait-to-have-kids-1/page/2#post-2231692 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 13:56:27 +0000 CakeLady 2231692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited almost 4 years after getting married to try.
