    We got pregnant about a month after our wedding!! We didn't waste any time DD was born on our 10 month anniversary & turned 8 months on our 1.5 anniversary last month.

    We were married 4 years before we got pregnant. Baby is set to arrive one week before our 5th anniversary!

    We were 2 months shy of our 1st anniversary when we saw the fertility specialist for the first time (I've known since I was a teen that I would not be able to conceive on my own). My due date is 4 months before our 3rd anniversary.

    Cam arrived 1 year and 10 months after we got married. We did try for quite a while too, we had originally planned for him to arrive right around our first anniversary (and is a product of our delayed first anniversary trip). We've been together almost 10 years, so we got married because we were ready to start a family.

    8 years !! We were having too much fun :). We got married after 10 months of dating and spent the next 8 years traveling and enjoying couple time.

    @j0s1e267: My parents were married for 10 years before having children and they always say the exact same thing you said, "we were having too much fun!"

    @yoursilverlining, it's so true! We would take off on trips whenever, try out lotsa restaurants, shop till we drop etc
    Many probably thought we had problems TTC but the fact is we never tried! It was DH who broached the subject and I was like 'Why????'! Eventually, I figured that I'll never be 100% ready so let's try and see what happens! We celebrated our 10th anniversary last year and now I have three LOs! How things change!

    We'll be married for a little over 3 years by the time the baby's born, but will have been together for over 13 years!

    We wanted to wait until we got to enjoy time as a married couple before we started having kids, so this is perfect timing for us.

    We got married super young (24) and waited 4 years before having RJ. I'm so glad we did because we had a great time for 4 years and we never feel like we missed out on anything by having a baby too soon! Especially building a strong foundation for our marriage.

    @AmeliaBedelia: we've made a lot of careful, smart decisions and a lot of crazy, stupid ones, and we don't regret any of them in the end because it's all led to where we are now!

    @tina: That's exactly how I like to look at things! I am having a hard time thinking that way about this one issue (since I have known fertility complications) but at the same time, I don't feel like we're ready and we have plenty of time to figure all that out.

    @AmeliaBedelia: take your time and follow your heart, and you can't go wrong
