We're 26/27. FH wants to wait a few years and build up more dual income money first. I want to be a SAHM but I also make more so that's tough. Probably around when I'm 30.
We're not sure yet. I'm 31, he's 33. I have one son from previous relationship. We'd like to have a child, but we have to talk to my doctors ask sure it's ok. We'd like to try right away but it all depends.
We've booked all our "bucket list" trips for next year with the last and largest one ending on our 1 year anniversary. If everything goes according to plan, we'll start trying right after that.
If it was up to my FH he would have knocked me up already! Lol I plan to at least have a year under my belt of marriage before we start to try for our first.
I really prefer to wait at least 2-3 years before having kids, but my finace is really set on having them right away.
His best friend has already had two kids and most of our other friends are parents too, so I think he feels "left behind" in a way and has wanted kids for a while now. I told him under no circumstances would I have kids before marriage.
Well, now we're getting married and he's holding me to it haha. I'm trying to convince him to wait until our house is done being built now though, since we currently live in 500sqft with a "second bedroom" that's the size of a closet. I'd be miserable with a baby in this house.
I'm not SUPER opposed or anything, especially considering we're both 28 and I'm starting to feel like he is where I feel like our kids will have no friends because all our friends' kids are too old now. I just always had this image in my mind that we would travel and be a married couple for a bit before kids come in to change our lives.
Edit: He wanted to start on our wedding night, but since our honeymoon is in New Zealand and we're not going till February so it will be summer there, I told him I absoluetely refuse to be 4 months pregnant/throwing up/miserable/etc on our god damn honeymoon. So it will have to at least wait until then
I'm not having children, but I can tell you my parents planned on 3-4 after marriage. I guess they got a little too hot for each other after the engagement because I came along, and the fabulous fall wedding they planned was moved to February because my mother didn't want to waddle down the aisle. :/
We decided to give ourselves at least 1-2 years to enjoy the marriage life and then try.

I just turned 32, and I am hoping that we won't wait longer than another year. FH agrees, but he really wants to buy a house before we have kids. Fortunately we are good at communicating and we have been discussing pros and cons of all possibilities available to us. Hopefully we will make a decision before too too long.
Anywhere from 5-10 years from now lol. I want to get off of night shift, he wants student loans paid off and we both want to travel the world WITHOUT children. Weve got 2 fur babies that mean the world to me right now and they're enough
Probably a year? My birth control "expires" then, so I'll get it removed and we'll assess if we want to start trying or I'll go on the pill for awhile.
4-5 years. I'll be 25 when we get married and he will be 28. I want to travel and enjoy being married for a while and he has admitted that he still needs time to "grow up a little" haha which is totally fine with me. I would be okay if we didn't end up having any at least at this point but I know I would love one if we did too so we are just going to see where life takes us
Since I'll be 40 when we get married and he'll be 41, we will be trying right away just in case in takes a little longer.
Actually, my plan is to stop taking my bc pills about 2 months before the wedding so they'll be out of my system by the time we start really being rabbits! Lol
