I got married at 29. I waited about 2 years before trying. It was a nice amount of time and I don't regret it since we were still settling into careers and whatnot. Though, I did end up having difficulty conceiving and always have the "wish I had started TTC earlier" thoughts but in reality, TTC earlier would have required an entirely different life so its not practical to think those thoughts. Best of luck to you and congrats on the marriage!

I got married 1 month before turning 30 and we started right away!

Had some issues and took us way longer to get pregnant

Had our 1st right after our 3rd anniversary

I was 3 months shy of 32 when we got married, started trying when I was a little over 33. Was 34 when I had her.

i was 33 when we married, and had our first child 3 years later (i was 36). then the second child came a few years later when i was 39.

I got married at thirty and had three babies before I turned 35.

Married at 32 and oops! was pregnant 4 months later.

Married at 30. LO1 born at 34 and LO2 born at 37. It's worked well for us to have had "our" time but still have a family.

Waited two months.
For the record we were together 11 years before getting married.
We got married in January and had a baby in December of the same year.

Met my husband at 32.5. Got married at 34.5. Waited a year to be married and do some traveling, then started TTC. It took eight months (including a miscarriage) to get a sticky baby. He was delivered two months before my 37th birthday.

3 years...oops. I'm glad we had that time though and don't regret it. I was 31 when I get married.

I got married at 34. We waited until a couple of months after our first anniversary to start trying. Our daughter was born 2.5 weeks after our second anniversary.

Married at 33, started TTC 3 months after the wedding, pregnant after 3 cycles. We didn't want to wait in case we had difficulties, since the wait times to get a referral & see a specialist are a bit crazy. However, we were just lucky that it happened so quickly for us

Married 3 weeks before my 30th bday. Started NTNP right after I took the Bar Exam (so 6 months after our wedding). We got pregnant right away but had recurrent losses, a serious health diagnosis, and treatment for the condition. All told, our first child was born 3 years later at age 33. I got surprise pregnant with our second less than a year later and he's due in a few weeks when I'll be 35. No regrets starting soon - I tell people all the time to have your kids younger if you can help it cuz it's exhausting!

I met my husband when I was 25. Due to our school/work situation, we were in a long distance relationship for 5+ years. Got engaged at 30 and married at 31. I recently turned 33, and we will start TTC soon. I am beyond ready on a personal/relationship level, but we have had some work-related constraints. On the bright side, I have really relished the opportunity over the past year to focus on improving other aspects of my life, that I don't think I will have time to work on post-TTC. Plus, we are trying to up our date-night game while we can! In an ideal world I would have really (really) liked to start TTC earlier, but in our actual world I'm confident we've made the decision that works best for our family. If we have prohibitive age-related difficulties, I would be enthusiastic to adopt and would (hopefully) not have regrets.

That said, I do have some recurrent (mild) anxiety that we'll wait too long and miss the opportunity, one can imagine all kind of scenarios. I think it's my personality when I decide on something - especially something as major and life changing as kids - I want to feel like I'm doing everything I can to make it happen. Hopefully all this waiting to TTC is making me more patient and accepting of the fact that there's some things I need to let go of my desire to control.

Got married at 33 and got pregnant 3 weeks later! Similar to @portboston, husband is 15 years older so felt some pressure for that reason to get going. I also frankly assumed our combined ages made the likelihood of difficulty conceiving very high. I feel so fortunate we were able to get pregnant so easily, but might have given it six months had I known how quickly it would happen!

I got married at 31 and we started trying pretty much right away. DH is a bit older, otherwise maybe we would have waited a few months -- but we were both pretty much ready anyway. When our first baby is born in October (assuming all goes well), I will be 32 and DH will be 46.

Married at 29 and got pregnant immediately at 31 (baby born at 32). I started trying for #2 at 35 and suffered a year of infertility (now pregnant at 36). Hindsight is always 20/20 but I had always hoped to have 3 children and now the third is looking a bit iffy so I sort of wish I'd started trying a bit earlier.

I was only 28 when we got married, but my husband was 44, so we had to think of timelines due to his age. We still waited 1 year to TTC and were very lucky to pregnant immediately. Had we both been in our early 30's when we got married, we would have waited several years to TTC. 30 is definitely not an omg-old age.

I got married at 29 (almost 30 ) and we started trying and got pregnant right away 2 months before our first anniversary. In retrospect waiting might have been nice for several reasons but I had baby fever and of course don't regret having our daughter!

I really understand that unknown feeling and anxiety about your fertility. I had zero reason to suspect fertility issues (except for successfully avoiding pregnancy for 10+ years!) but I still was so worried, for naught.

I didn't get married until 39 & still waited 6mos until we sold my home. It took us 10mos to conceive my DD with one miscarriage in the middle.
