My husband and I were discussing it and are thinking about 3-4 years. How about you?

    I'm getting off the pill as soon as we're home from the honeymoon, but will not be actively trying. We'll be 33 at that time, so we know we can't wait too long but we're also not in a rush. We're basically leaving it up to the Sperm Gods for now. ETA: By "actively trying" I mean tracking ovulation, etc.

    We haven't discussed an exact timeline but we know it won't be long if we are financially stable and being responsible with the decision. We don't want to have a child and be unable to raise him/her in the best environment because of money. We've been already saving and he seems to really want a child so I have a feeling it will be pretty quick after the wedding.

    We are TTC in November. I'm going to be 33 right after the wedding and feel like I'm wasting time otherwise.

    I am ready for babies now but FH keeps reminding me that the dress was not cheap and it needs to fit lol. As soon as we say I DO and the festivities are over, it is ON!

    To me, 3-5 years sounds ideal. We would do that if we were younger. Since we're both 34, we should start ASAP, or so our parents say. Smiley winking I think we'll compromise and wait about 1 year. We have a lot of traveling planned for the next year and I don't want to be pregnant for it.

    We are still waiting 2-3 years before having kids, even though we are 30, for health and financial reasons. I do have baby fever, though. My doctor advised me to wait until I'm in remission with my condition, and we are saving for a house. Plus, I'm not ready for things to change quite yet for a few reasons. I have a very old bunny that needs my attention right now.

    Planning on waiting a year. We want to pay off some debt first. My student loans will be coming to the grave with me (75k) but want to pay off credit cards :p

    According to my mom, she thinks I'll be pregnant by the end of 2018. FH and I started dating August 2012, getting married this October. I am 27 and he is 26. I have had the nexplanon implant since October 2014 and it needs to come out this October. probably won't get another one in so after the wedding we'll see what happens!

    Furbaby first, he agreed that as soon as the wedding is over and our schedule settle we could get a puppy. Our plan for kids is 2 - 3 years. We really want to buy a house before we start trying and have some career aspirations (that aren't to far off) that we want to meet. By the time we will be close to mid 30's.

    A few years. Maybe 3-4. I want to wait until our friends start having kids as well. It's important to me because that is how I grew up. My mom and her friends and my dad and his friends all had kids around the same time. It was great to have relationships like that. FH agrees. He will be 32-33 and I'll be 28-29 Smiley smile

    1 month haha. We are both 33. We get married in 2 weeks, and by April 2018, we are relocating for the Navy and he could be deployed at any given time. I'd like to be pregnant before any possible deployment even if that means I'm solo for the pregnancy.
