How long are you waiting to have kids after marriage?

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

    Probably 3-4 years. I think our late 20s is a good time for us to start trying.

    We will be trying about 6 months after. Only reason we won't start right away is because we aren't honeymooning until the winter and we have FH's brothers wedding in June 2018 and we don't want to be too far along for that as we have to travel via plane!

    We're going to start trying around a year in, a little sooner if some other things work out before. We wanted to take 3 trips (2 are already booked) before ttc, we want to see what happens with H's job as he most likely will be switching in dec due to a merger, and I wanted to work a full year and a half without going on maternity leave at my new job. I started the job right after our wedding and as the only female and an executive, I'm not comfortable taking a maternity leave so soon after starting.

    1-2 years. I'd be okay with closer to a year lol even a little before but I think FH is more team two years.

    We're planning a trip to Disney in February so I'll probably go off the pill when we get home from that trip

    We're waiting 2-3 years so FH can go back and finish his Bachelors and I may do grad school.

    When it feels right. By the time we get married we will have been together 4+years and he'll be 40 and i'll be 33 so time is an element but we don't want to do anything before we're ready. I would imagine within the year after we may start trying but don't want it to be pressured.

    We want to buy a home first, and maybe start trying around our 2 year anniversary.

    We have a 17 month old already but it probably be somewhere between 1 and 3 years before we start trying for number 2. We'd like to be more established in our careers and in a bigger home first.

    @Corina L. That's exactly us. I'm 34. He's 40. We got married not 3 months ago and just adjusting to newlywed married life. I don't see us "trying" for the 1st year. We aren't using anything though currently besides avoiding ovulation. People look at me like I'm NUTS because we're old. Ehh. It's our life. Our marriage. If it's meant to be for us, it'll happen at the right time.

    FH and I did things backwards lol we had our miracle baby before marriage I have PCOS and Endometriosis but after we get married I would like to wait a year or two. If it was completely up to FH we would have another now. FH is concerned about waiting too long and him being older having another. He's 35 and I'm 30. I'm concerned about trying and not being able to conceive a second time.

    We agreed at least 2-3 years so that we could enjoy our marriage as a couple, get rid of some of our school debt, and have a place of our own. Once we get to that point, we will see how we feel when the time is right Smiley smile

    We're both in our early 20's, so we want to take everything slow. I wouldn't mind waiting a few years until we are ready and feel positive we can support a family in every way possible. I want us to take a few years to bond even more and to have a stronger relationship. I'd also like to do some traveling (I want to go to Bora Bora, he's Italian so he wants to go to Italy) I may even switch jobs, or keep going to school longer and go higher up in my profession. All I know is that we are in no rush.
