How long did you wait after getting married before TTC?

Question

Also, if you wouldn’t mind explaining why you waited as long as you did, it would be helpful! I get that different things are right for different people, but I’m just trying to get an idea of what’s the “norm.”

Answer

We were trying before we got married. We knew we were getting married regardless and didnt want to wait! It took us 2 years to conceive anyways, so we had been married for 1 year when we finally got pregnant.

Answer

We met when we were 18, married at 23, and became parents at 26. Now we are both going to be 30 this year and expecting baby # 2 this fall. ❤️

Answer

We’ve been married 5.5 years. We’ve been enjoying our alone bonding time, going on holidays, buying a house etc. Just started TTC as now feels like the right time!x

Answer

Got married in March 2018. Wanted to enjoy each other and prep first. Establish our marriage, our relationship, communication skills, family values, etc.
Decided to do it now because my husband is 41 and isn’t getting any younger 😜

Answer

We were trying before we got married. He was my first on everything, and I already knew I was going to have issues with fertility because I didn't get my period at all, it was very, very irregular. So we decided to start early because of the difficulty. I got diagnosed with PCOS and infertility in the same year we got married. We've been trying 5 years now.

Answer

Oops i pushed 1 year + but I meant baby before marriage lol actually 2 before marriage but had kids after 3+ years together and living together.

Answer

I think it depends on the age of when you get married.

Answer

I picked more than 1 year. Was always taught that a career mattered first, because if the guy ever left, I would be self sufficient. After we got married, we both focused on getting our careers off the ground and wanted to build a good nest egg before starting. We bought a house shortly after marriage and had to wait to get our finances in better shape. Even with starting TTC, it took us over 2 years and ended up needing some of the saved money to do IVF to get pregnant.

Answer

-4 years 😂

Answer

I was 18 when we got married and moved cross country for a year and a half due to him being in the military. So we waited until we were back home and closer to family. Conceived our first when I was 20 (born when I was 21), now expecting our second and I’ll be 24 (as long as he waits at least a few more weeks. Currently 29 weeks pregnant).
