When we were engaged we didn't plan on having kids for a few years. Then my post-college ed/career moves/plans changed and we both got the fever after our first anniversary, we started ttc a few months later!
-
When we got married (age 25/26), we agreed to wait until we were 28 to start trying, and we stuck to it! I got baby fever earlier, but we kept to our original schedule because we had other travel plans.
-
We waited 5.5 years before we started trying.
-
We were together 7 years when we got married, then started ttc when we were married almost three years. Decided on adoption when we were married almost 4 years.
-
We were married for about 8 months when we started TTC, but we'd been together for almost 6 years.
-
We waited ~6 mos after we married so that we knew my place was sold before ttc. In retrospect we could easily have started ttc right away & still have had things work out since it took us a while to get pg.
-
We were together for 7 yrs, married for 4 when we started TTC. I was 26 and he was 27. It was about 2-3 years before our original *financial* timeline dreamt up back in our dating years, but it was 100% in line with our desired timeline discussed throughout dating and early marriage.
-
We met 10 years ago, married 3 years ago. We always said we wanted to have our first baby when I was 30. I turned 30 in June and I'm due next month! So it all worked out, although we started trying about a year sooner than planned bc my MIL got a fatal cancer diagnosis. Took about a year to get pregnant though.
-
We had been together a long time before we got married (6+ years) but agreed to wait about two years before ttc after the wedding. I got baby fever before that but we stuck to the plan.
We wanted to be married for a little bit before baby, but didn't want to wait too too long since we wanted two and weren't super young.
-
We'll be married 5.5 years when the baby is born. We started trying during our second year of marriage though. If things had gone like we originally planned we would have had a baby after our second anniversary.
-
Planned to ttc ~6 months after our wedding. Got pregnant 2 months after instead. Not ideal given my husband had just lost his job, but it all worked out! He our DD a month before our first anniversary (and on our engagement ann'y!) it was a whirlwind relationship. Met in 2011, engaged in 2012, married in 2013, baby in 2014!
-
We knew we wanted to have kids soon after marriage, we waited 9ish months
-
We were together six years before we married. We started Ntntp right away. We were pregnant in less then 6 months into our first year of marriage.
-
We waited just over 3 years before we started trying. We had our first after 4 years, 2 months of marriage.
-
We waited 17 months. We probably would have waited a min of 2 years if we were younger.
-
We started trying 3 years into our marriage, but it was nearly our 6 year anniversary by the time our twins arrived.
-
Started trying 2 years after getting married. At that point, we'd been together for 7 years. We had LO 1 a few months before our third anniversary.
-
We were married 4 years before we started trying (together 9); little one arrived a few months before are 6 year anniversary.
-
We were married for a year when we started trying. That's a faster timeline that I had ever anticipated, but DH is 12 years older than me so we had to speed things up a bit.
-
We got a bfp a few days before our first wedding anniversary
we were together nearly 5 years by the time LO arrived.
-
@mrsjyw: 5 years, almost on the dot! I'll be 8 weeks on our 5th year anniversary
-
We dated for 7 long years. Then waited just a year to get pregnant.
-
@mrsjyw: We were 25/27 when we married, and had planned to wait 5 years. We told all of our family that, so they wouldn't bug us about it! Then 2.5 years in we changed our minds and started TTC. It took us longer to conceive than we had expected, so I am so glad we didn't wait 5 years before starting!
-
@mrsjyw: We've been married for 6 months this month. We wanted to be baby free for at least a year to enjoy being with each other. About 2 months ago I went off of BCP. We're currently NTNP, I go in and out of baby fever, but we'll hit our 1 year anniversary baby free.
We're both looking forward to baby though. -
We planned to wait one year. We started TTC at about 9 months and I was pregnant one month after our 1st anniversary. In a perfect world we would have waited longer, but we got married late.
-
We were together 10+ years before getting married and having a baby. We got married in January 2011 and had a baby by December!
-
We met in high school. Dated for 5 years before getting married. Married about 6.5 years before trying for kids. Will be married about 7.5 years when LO1 is born in September. I'm 30 and DH is 29. We always said we'd wait until age 28 to try, so we aren't THAT far off. And we're happy we waited. We enjoyed our years together, and that time went by really fast.
-
From when we were married? 2 years.
-
We didn't wait once we got married. At our age, we decided to go for it
-
My ex and I had D 3 years after we got married. I had some fertility issues back then. DH and I got pregnant with S 9 months after we got married.
-
We started TTC right after our 1 year wedding anniversary (together for 4 years at that point). We got pregnant right away. I wouldn't have minded waiting a bit longer but DH is older then me and wanted to start quickly.
-
We will be married for 5 years when our first is born. We married young and struggled with infertility, I feel good about how it worked out.
-
We got pregnant 2 months before our 1st anniversary
-
We waited 2.5 years, or enough time for me to finish my M.A. and move to a more family-friendly city/university. I had the fever much earlier, though!
-
I wanted to be married for 2 years before we stopped actively preventing. I also hoped to have my first before 30. I was blessed with both!
-
We started TTC after being married 8 months.
-
We were married for about 3 years when we got pregnant. We had planned on waiting a little longer. DH used to always tell people, "3-5 years," when they asked when we thought we'd have kids. He started saying that when we got married and kept saying it even 3 years later, haha! Glad we got our awesome surprise
-
We waited 2/2.5 years before we started trying.
-
