Except can't start trying yet. We were hoping to start trying by our anniversary but I think it might actually be towards the end of the year/early next year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-206212 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 09:02:11 +0000 Alivoo01 206212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We wanted to start after June 2012 due to a friend's wedding obligations, but we started a couple months prior. Not much discrepancy for us. However, now that we've been trying for a few months and are unsuccessful, we wish we would have started TTC earlier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-206120 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 07:37:51 +0000 autumnlove 206120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both wanted to start a year after our 1st anniversary. We found out I was expecting a few months into our engagement! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-206074 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 07:04:13 +0000 mrsjyw 206074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I had random bouts of the fever throughout the end of our first year of marriage, we actually TTC a few months after our 1 year anniversary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-206003 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 01:21:31 +0000 Periwinkle 206003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if we ever had an official plan from the get-go, but knew that we wanted to be married for a few years before we started trying. About 2 years into marriage, we both decided that we wanted to work on our master's degrees and sort of (unspoken) decided that we would wait until we were done. Well, I graduated last August and he graduated in September and we planned on then trying in the upcoming year... and here we are now, 21 weeks pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-205667 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 20:26:52 +0000 Grace 205667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We wanted to start at the beginning if 2012 and we started 1 month early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-205302 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 18:31:33 +0000 BSB 205302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted to start a year after I got married but it didn't actually happen to about 2 years after we got married. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-205284 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 18:23:52 +0000 sslm 205284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were planning to start about 2 years after getting married, instead we started after being married about 8 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-205276 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 18:21:31 +0000 Meeshling 205276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My original "life timeline" had us started three months post-wedding. He needed a bit more convincing! So we waited a little over a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-205214 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 17:53:15 +0000 Rubies 205214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had been thinking about it before we were even married! But we started 8 months into marriage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-205213 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 17:52:11 +0000 eeh 205213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We agreed that we wouldn't start TTC until our one year anniversary because we wanted that time together to focus on our marriage. Our anniversary is in October and I went off my birth control in August with the plan to let my body regulate until October. We ended up not preventing during those couple of months but didn't get pregnant until November which fell after our original goal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-205158 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 16:53:03 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 205158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We thought we'd wait 6 months after getting married. Apparently we waited until I ovulated :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-205156 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 16:50:35 +0000 photojane 205156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCastro: I'm sorry to hear about your dad. Like you said, maybe this good news will give him even more of a reason to fight! We're not sure grandpa will make it either, but we were happy to see his face when he found out about the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-205106 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 16:17:46 +0000 MrsCastro 205106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane we are not sure if my dad would make it that long...i am hoping and praying he will and it maybe a good motivation for him...as i have always wanted my kids to know there grandpa... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-205088 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 16:11:07 +0000 photojane 205088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wanted to have my first baby by the time I was 25. I'm 24 and pregnant, so that worked out!</p> <p>@MrsCastro: my husband's grandpa's health is going, and that's one of the reasons we decided to just go ahead and pull the goalie. life is short and we wanted grandpa to be able to meet the baby. he was having a bad day the day we told him about the baby and it lit his face right up - it was nice to give him some good news for a change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-205077 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 16:05:03 +0000 MrsCastro 205077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i wanted to start after we got married in 2010, but we both thought that since we didnt start living together until then, it would be best to wait a year we could workout or living arrangements first. We just celebrated our 2nd anniversay and have pulled the goalie...but today I found out my dads health is starting to decline rapidly and not sure if we should put TTC on hold or move forward....arrh... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-204837 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 13:20:09 +0000 Modern Daisy 204837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I 'wanted' to start TTC late summer/early fall of 2012 and I'm gearing up to do just that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-204820 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 13:07:28 +0000 Adira 204820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted to start in the summer of 2010, but waited until 2012, haha. When we got married, I had told Hubs I wanted to start trying when we were 28 (2012), but then my best friend had a baby and I wanted to start trying sooner! I waited it out though because I already had this big Las Vegas trip planned for New Year's Eve in 2011, and I didn't want to be pregnant or have a newborn when I went on that trip, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-204815 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 13:04:31 +0000 ladyfingers 204815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted to start forever lol. I kept saying we should start trying before getting married because it would take a while. We waited... we got married in November, I got off BC in December, we sorta tried in December and January and then had to take a break until May. And then got pregnant in May. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-204615 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 11:25:59 +0000 plaidpants 204615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We wanted to start "sometime" after the wedding. We waited 6 months after we got married, then got pregnant in the first cycle. If I'd know it would happen that fast, I probably would have waited a year to enjoy married life a little more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-204586 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 11:17:44 +0000 kodybear 204586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i wanted to start at 25, 2 years after we got married. he wanted to start at 30. we made a pact to start at 28. but i was able to use my skills of persuasiveness and we started alittle after i turned 27 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-204370 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 09:56:54 +0000 lilteacherbee 204370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was ready about 6 months after the wedding and we started 8-9 months after the wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-204362 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 09:51:19 +0000 Smurfette 204362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we got married we had decided to start on our 1st annviersary (Nov 11). Then DH started his MBA program and started traveling for work. So we decided to push it back till April. We figured that if we would get pregnant right away it gives us more time for just us once he is finished with school, which takes up all his weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-204356 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 09:48:31 +0000 JoJoGirl 204356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted to start 6 months after our wedding at the latest, DH was ready about 3 months after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-204335 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 09:40:53 +0000 MrsBrewer 204335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have been married for 8 months now, and I would have loved to start TTC right away, but I know that it would be best for us to wait another 2-3 years.

So much sooner than I originally thought! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-204322 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 09:33:54 +0000 Foodnerd81 204322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We plan to start a few months before our second anniversary, so start in Aug/Sept. I've been pretty much ready since the winter (something about knowing we would try during the year of 2012 made me more baby crazy as soon as the date changed). So that's still the plan but we'll see. H isn't ready yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-204320 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 09:33:17 +0000 Minnie_Girl 204320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted to start about two years from now. :P Such is life! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-want-to-start-ttc-and-when-did-you-actually-start-ttc#post-204318 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 09:32:40 +0000 DillonLion 204318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was ready to start as soon as we got married, and we pretty much started right then. Got married in September, quit taking BCP in November. So, a matter of weeks, really. </p>
