So my FH wants kids sooo bad. He's wanted kids since we met 4 years ago. He wants me to get off my birth control before the wedding. I'm not sure I want to get pregnant right away. Who is planning to have babies right away? If not right away, is there a time frame you want to wait? Or, whatever...

    Lol, yes before the wedding. Apparently my body was READY. It's kind of sweet that we'll be saying our vows with our kiddo.

    My husband had baby fever leading up to the wedding. Suddenly I bring it up lightly once and I’m “nagging.” That really made me mad, I feel betrayed and set up. But I’ve decided I’m not taking anymore birth control after I turn 30 in July.

    We started trying over the honeymoon, and now I'm in that fun waiting game to see if what I'm feeling is PMS or if it's early pregnancy.

    Honestly do not know and it's driving me JUST a little nuts. (My poor coworkers had to deal with Anxious Me all night tonight.)

    But I'm 36, DH is 30, so we're... kind of at the Use It or Lose it portion of our lives.

    I would be worried about getting off your birth control prior to the wedding. For 2 reason:

    1. I would be so worried about get pregnant before the wedding

    2. Hormone changes before a big event = bad plan

    Yes! I have the IUD so it's been 4 years almost on it so I'm nervous how it would even pan out!

    If it happens, it happens. We're not in any rush to have kids, we know we want them though. Both his parents were older when they had him while mine were young and even though both want grand-kids they aren't pressuring us because they know we like to travel and want to feel stable financially before having kids. I'm not worrying about age either because there is always adoption, which is something we are both open to doing.

    My FH is the same way, he wants to start trying right away. He's 35 and I'm 29 so he wants to still be young enough to keep up with the kids. I want to wait until next year to start trying, we're planning on waiting to go on our honeymoon until May-ish next year and I want to be able to fully enjoy the all inclusive and not be pregnant watching him get all the free drinks Smiley xd

    We plan on starting to try in December of this year, so 1.5 years after our wedding. We both want kids and would be happy with having them sooner, but it was very important to us we pay off all our credit card debt, a large amount of our student loan debt, our house renovation be done, we both be happy & healthy gym and diet-wise, we both had our professional certifications (should be done around July for both of us), and we have a good amount in savings. So for now, we are focusing on financial stability & being healthy overall. We are big planners and want to be prepared so that's why we didn't want to start when we were focusing on house renovations, paying off a ton of debt, etc. I'll be 26 in March and my husband will be 30 in May. We did both take at home fertility tests to see where we were at though, and both did genetic testing.

    Our wedding is in about 5 months and we are going to start trying the same day lol. I've been off of birth control for about two months now (due to medical reasons) so we are using condoms for now but it's something we both want and have talked about and agreed to. I'm about to turn 30, he's in his mid-30s, and we want to have a large family if possible, so we don't really have time to wait, plus we both are just really baby-hungry and are too excited to wait anyway. I think if we were younger, it would be nice to take the first year as newlyweds and just enjoy each other and get settled into your new life before conceiving, but that's up to you

    I will be married for one year 3/24 and I will be 32 in August, I am thinking after my b-day or closer to the end of the year. Def after our August Europe trip, lol. I am more worried about bringing a child into a home thats not ready than just having one. I want to make sure that we are financially stable and have had some experiences together. I also don't want to wait too much longer since I am 3 years older and will be the one having it but I am also terrified and know that I need some more time.
