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!
Well we wanted to wait a little, but Ive been insanely nauseous these past few mornings and have been throwing up in the middle of the night. So we shall see! Lol
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.
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 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
@ifallforgeeks we have a very similar relationship timeline! We are nov 2012 to sept 2017 and I'm 26 he's 27 ha but we are going to wait a bit before TTC.
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.
