Dh and I had diff spurts of it throughout our first year of marriage. The two months following our 1 year was the height of it for both of us, and then we started NTNT... and officially TTC a month after that!
-
We've been married 6 months, and it magically appeared a couple months before the wedding, subsided right after we got married, and now it's picking back up again. DH is ready to start whenever, so that's good to know!
-
Pretty much right after we got married (Oct 1, 2011)! DH didn't catch up until just before our honeymoon (which we delayed until this past July). Maybe he just wanted to guarantee lots of honeymoon BD action??
Sorry - ETA - goalie pulled in June
8 months after my baby fever started!
-
Pulled the goalie before the wedding... It didn't take much for us to give in to our baby fever haha.
-
Well baby fever started when I was 17, and we finally got pg 2 months after pulling te goalie when I was 26.
-
I had baby fever since DH and I started dating....5 years ago lol
-
Years, for both of us!!
-
We had the talk when we got engaged, and that started baby fever. So I had to wait a year before getting married before we could ttc.
-
I think about 6 months.
-
I had baby fever since right when we got married but Hubs was so not ready. We started TTC at our year anniversary.
-
baby fever hadn't started yet when we pulled the goalie. i just forgot to order the pill and figured it'd be a good time to start, but baby fever then set in right away!
-
Maybe a few months or so? I was pretty much ready after our second anniversary last May but wasn't sure how DH felt until we had more serious talks. We pulled the goalie last August and got pregnant the next month!
-
Pulled the goalie 1.5 months after getting married. We were married Nov 30 and I got my BFP at the beginning of February.
-
over 2 years of marriage...we are the last of most of our friends to have a child.
-
A month or two. Of course I had it before at different times but it wasn't an option until we were married.
-
I've never had baby fever, and neither has DH. The month we got pregnant, we both had thoughts along the lines of "I think I'm ready/I would be happy to have a child with SO." Apparently we only needed a sneeze, not a fever!
-
I started getting baby fever once a few of my year or two older friends started having kids. With my DH it took a while longer. But now he shows me pictures of his friend's kids and makes comments that catch me off guard (good, sweet charming comments about our future).
It's interesting though, despite having baby fever I still at times don't feel "ready" to try. We're both getting very close.
-
I had baby fever for about a year and a half! Hubs never had baby fever and still doesn't, haha.
-
Almost 2 months, we decided after my annual doctor's appoinment that we would start trying on a planned trip (about 6 months before we orginially said), so we had to wait until then, We both had the fever at the same time so we got lucky!
-
I was highly interested in having kids, but we never really got a chance to officially pull the goalie because Lala had other ideas and wanted to make an appearance before our first anniversary!
-
@Minnie_Girl: that's exactly how it was for us!
for me, i firmly did not want to have kids for a long time, so i think the "cons" of having a child are always on my mind and i was never going to shed them completely (even though of course i'm happy to be pregnant and looking forward to having a baby!).
-
I would have been ok with starting right after we got married. But we both agreed time for just us was needed. So we were going o try at one year, then DH was too stressed with work and getting his MBA, so we waited another 6 months before TTC. Those last 6 months were hard, baby fever at it's height.
-
I've had baby fever for at least 6 months. We've only been married for a month (but together for almost 9 years!)
Hubs wants to wait 2-4 years!!! Ahhh I might go crazy!! -
I've always knew I wanted children one day but have never, really, been the baby type. Baby fever hit me full on in the face about a month after we got married. It was a real shock! We'd already set a date to start trying (a year away) but the fever got hotter and hotter until it was boiling me up! We gave up the BCP four months after that!
-
I have always wanted to be a mom but baby fervor didn't kick in until we had been engaged a few months. Switched from the shot to pills (thought it would be easier to conceive later, not quit going as planned). We were married 10/30/10 & switched to NFP in April 2012 NTNT. The fervor reached its peek two months ago when the husband announced to me and his parents that we are trying
-
Our 1st was unplanned, but we didn't "pull the goalie" until about 6 years later (big gap I know) due to work/moving constantly. The baby fever has come and gone but over the past 2ish years it's been pretty solid. Even though we've been taking a break the past five months due to my MC this spring we're starting to feel ready to start again.
-
My first and only was unplanned. I had never had baby fever and actually was not interested in having a baby. We thought my husband was infertile due to the fact that he had never gotten his ex girlfriends preggo and they never used protection, but then they got preggo as soon as they slept with someone else. We are both Army Vets and we have been pumped full of so many things that it has been shown to make some men infertile. I went off my birth control and four months later....oops. My daughter is now a month old and I love her to death, but I've been finding that parenting is especially hard for me when I didn't want to be one in the first place.
-
I had baby fever before Hubby and I were married (january 2011). We started trying a year ago, got pregnant on our 3rd cycle, lost the baby at 20 wks, and are trying to conceive #2 and hopefully our sticky, take home baby.
-
Hmm, DH had it before we were married (like over a year before).
I realized that the timing was best for us to have the baby sooner rather than later (born before November this year was the goal).
I didn't have any more baby fever then than when I was 17 years old and realized that periods meant babies were possible.
So for me, either 11 years or never?
8 months after my baby fever started!
