We started trying around our 2 year anniversary, but I got pregnant with Charlie around our 4 year anniversary. And now baby #2 will be about 22 1/2 months younger than Charlie.
How long did you wait to start trying?
-
We waited to start TTC until we had been married a little over a year. I'm 34 and my husband is 30, had we been younger I think we would have waited longer, perhaps as much as 4-5 years but since we want a large family we decided to start sooner. It was very important to us that we at least have that year together because we only dated 2 years before getting married and we didn't live together before then. We really needed the first year just the two of us. We just started TTC and fingers are crossed that it isn't a long process.

We waited about a year and half after getting married to start TTC. @parkerhaus- I'm also 4 years older than my husband-- He's 32 and I'm 36. We've been trying for over a year but had a miscarriage and waiting to try again.
A bit heartbreaking at times but I'm sure the end result will be worth it. Good luck to you!

Hmmm... about 10 seconds?! Cecilia is very much a Glacier National Park honeymoon baby! Oh and I'm 11 years older than my husband, so I feel fortunate that we had such good luck when I was 38.
-
We were married for a year and a half. I was 29 and wanted to start trying before I was 30.
-
We waited to conceive about 3 years, and RJ was born when we'd been married for 4 years. RJ is 21 months now (just like Charlie, hehe) but we're only slightly considering when to start trying for the next....
-
We had been married almost 2 years before we started trying.
-
We should be trying within a month of our 2 year anniversary! It's coming up soon. I can't wait to TTC (try to conceive).
-
We waited until my husband realized we weren't getting any younger.
We got married in Oct 2010 and we started ttc 4 months ago. Our goal is to have a baby before I turn 35. That's November 2012. Fingers crossed. -
We waited until we had been married a little over a year (but we had been together 9 years)! That was 8 months ago and I was 30. Now I'm 31 and just found out we are pregnant!
-
We will be married for at 3 years before we will start trying, and will have known each other for almost 10 years
-
we were married about 3 years before we started unofficially trying. about another year before we started officially trying.
-
We haven't started trying yet, but we'll have been married for a little over two years when we do (and have been together for eight). I'm kind of thinking maybe we should've started trying earlier, incase it takes me a while to get pregnant, but... oh well. Too late now, haha!
-
We started trying after we'd been married 1.5 years, much sooner than our original 4-5 year plan! Since we miscarried, I think we'll try again as soon as we get the all clear.
-
If you count our legal marriage and not our wedding, it's been just a month shy of two years and we're now really starting to try.
We've been through a lot of ups and downs in our relationship so far, but we've been able to get through them and our marriage is that much stronger for it.
It was important for us to wait at least a year or two because we wanted to make sure that we were able to overcome hardships before we brought children into the world. I'm a child of divorce and it's definitely not fun.
-
Were NTNTC on the honeymoon and we'll work our way up from there.
We'll start actively trying if it doesn't happen by our 1 year anniversary.
My 1st son was not planned but I love how it all turned out. =D -
It'll be a bit over a year for us once we start trying (at least that's the current plan!) and we were together for 3 years before we got married. I really wanted at least a year of us, and there are also several other things that we want in place that should happen by that time, too.
-
My husband and I have been together for about 8.5 years, and we got married 3 years ago. We got pregnant just before our two year wedding anniversary.
-
We started trying just 8 months after our wedding. I was turning 30 and my husband supported my desire to start trying sooner rather than later (he's 3 years younger than I am)...We got pregnant the second month of trying.
-
This is our first cycle TTC. We have been together just over three years, and married for a year and a half. We initially agreed to be married a year and then evaluate where we thought we were. We both felt ready then, but I had just started a new job, so we waited until I had been at the job six months.
-
We were married 8 months when we found out I was pregnant. (I was 30 and husband 27). Our baby was an unplanned surprise!
We're not going to TTC for our future children. I'm not on birth control, so we're just letting nature take its course.
-
We have been together just shy of 15 yrs (We are high school sweethearts) but we waited just a bit before our 3 yr wedding anniversary to get pregnant.
-
We waited 2 years after marrying, but then it took us another year of trying.
-
We certainly didn't wait very long... I was pregnant 2 months after our wedding. It was unplanned but a very welcomed surprise. While I was pregnant but didn't know it, I was ready to bring up the discussion of starting a family. My husband was on board since day 1. We had been together for 5 years.
-
We started trying about a month before our 1st anniversary. We've just passed our 2nd anniversary and hopefully it'll happen soon.
We had only been together for about 20 months when we got married so we wanted a little bit of time to settle into our relationship before adding a baby to the mix. Even though the ttc process has taken us longer than expected, our relationship is better because of it.
-
We've been together for 12+ years and have been married for 2 1/2. We started "not NOT trying" a little before our 2 year anniversary. Last month was when we officially started TTC.
-
We were expecting our first baby 1 year and a half into our marriage, got very, very lucky early on in the ttc dept.
-
My husband and I have been together for almost 12 years (high school sweethearts) and married for 8 months when we found out I was pregnant. We had planned to actively start TTC after our first wedding anniversary but began NTNTC a few months after our wedding. We definitely got lucky and are excited to meet baby girl in January!
-
We waited until around our 1 year anniversary. If I got pregnant now, the baby wouldn't be born until after our 2 year anniversary.
-
We were not as careful as we could have been and so our first was born the day before our first anniversary! In a perfect world, I would have waited longer but there's no way I would change any of it now if I could. She's now 22 months and we're TTC #2. We'd like #2 to be born sometime before the beginning of the school year in 2012, so Chickie will be (hopefully!!) around 2.5.
A bit heartbreaking at times but I'm sure the end result will be worth it. Good luck to you!
We'll start actively trying if it doesn't happen by our 1 year anniversary.Reply
