Re: how long did you wait?

My DH and have been together since we were 16 years old. We got married at 23 and had our first child at 33. Honestly, I never thought we would have waited this long but we lived in FL for a few years after college and we didn't want a baby while we were there since all of our family and friends were in NY. Then when we moved back we tried, couldn't get pregnant, stopped trying for a while, then finally saw an RE and had our DD. Working on #2 now. Looking back we both wish we just started trying years ago, even while in FL, but hindsight is 20/20.

Re: how long did you wait?

We had planned on waiting 3 years, but got pregnant on HM, so we had decided that we would wait a while before #2, so now DD is going to be 4 this summer and we're still trying for #2 (coming up on year of TTC).

Re: how long did you wait?

My DH wanted to start trying before the wedding but I wanted to wait until we were married because I didn't want to risk being PG on our HM. We got married in September 09 which was also the last month of us using BCP and we have been trying ever since.

I had 2 chemical pregnancies and decided it was time to see an RE. DH and I met with Dr. Braverman last month and have had some testing done and I need to call him on CD1 to schedule CD3 testing and hopefully we will be on our way to a BFP!

Re: how long did you wait?

We decided to actively start trying around 2 years after we're married...which will be late 2011. Right now, we're taking the if it happens, it happens approach, and we'd be thrilled obviously, because it just means that the LO was meant to be born earlier for some unknown reason. But ideally we'd like to wait until late 2011, so we have more time to get used to living together and enjoy being married, travel, I will be starting a new job shortly that I'd rather not have to take leave on so shortly after starting, and we had big plans for this summer which had to be postponed until next year (ahem Chat Icon ), so we really want to be able to do that particular thing before TTC, so we're talking at least end of August, September 2011 +. So that's what our thought process is.

Right around our 2-year anniversary.

We had a ton of traveling that we wanted to do first! Oh, and we also bought a house. Now that we've seen what we wanted to see and are settled in our home, it finally feels like it's time.

Re: how long did you wait?

We got married in the spring of '08 and started trying a year and a half later... and I got my BFP a few weeks before our 2 year anniversary!!

We waited primarily because my DH wanted to. I would have had a HM baby! Chat Icon

Re: how long did you wait?

We've married for a year. Want to start officially try during the summer. I would of loved to be PG right after the wedding but goals were in the way of both DH and I.. Now we talk about it everyday and know we want to try as soon as the summer begins.. (That MEANS SOON!! Chat Icon Chat Icon ) You never know..

Re: how long did you wait?

DH and I will be married 3 years this July and are on month 3 TTC. We waited for a few reasons. 1. I just started my Master's after we got married and wanted to be done before having a DC. I am proud to announce i just graduated!!! 2. we moved into a co-op right before getting married and wanted to have bought a house before. We bought our house April 2009 and renovated the whole home. 3. We wanted to save money and beceome more established at our jobs. For me, I wanted tenure, i am a teacher. Going on year 5 of teaching this Sept. 4. Lastly, we wanted time to spend time together and continue to learn and grow together especially bc we never lived together b4 marriage. So, with all those things accomplished we feel we are ready to be parents.
