I'll be 27 and he will be 30 when we marry. I am thinking 2-3 years before we TTC. I want to have a house and enjoy married life first!

We're thinking 4-6 years. Maybe push it a little longer, but we don't want to get much older than that. FH is in his post doc right now, hoping for a tenure track faculty position and we'd love for him to get tenure before kids. But the decision of when is more dependent on our ages and career goals than the amount of time we'll be married.
We haven't discussed to far into the topic. We have both decided we want to try to have a child, we both don't want anymore than one. However I am super young (will be 21 when we marry) and he is 27 so we are in no rush. Personally I would love one anytime now, but we want to buy a house and get better Jobs and more money saved so we can afford to support a family. So we don't have a timeline set my preference is I want to have a baby within the next 6 years. FH doesn't want to wait too long but he is right we both have some growing up to do and we need to be more established.
I hoping to be an *aunt* in 3-4 years. Aside from that fur babies for us only!

The minute Zika exposure wouldn't be a concern, which would be in 5 months, or whenever a Zika test is available in our area! He's on the older side so we're ready to hop on the baby train.
We will wait a little under a year to start trying. Due to some past medical issues it will likely take me some time to get a bun in the oven. We both are ready whenever at this point, but I need to fit into my dress and would like to have some child free time after the wedding
2-3 years ... FH wanted kids yesterday lol I definitely want to travel more and find our dream house before bringing kids into the picture.

FH really wants to have kids ASAP and I have started to get a little bit of baby fever lately, but I really want to wait until we BUY out first home. I do not want to be renting when we have our first baby. So we agreed on about 1-2 years after we are married. If plans go accordingly we should be able to buy our first home about 1 year after we get married.

We are trying now. I'll be 36 in September, so I'm realistic about things. Husband also had some previous medical issues that could make things difficult. It could happen easily, it could take a long time, or it could not happen at all. We are preparing ourselves for any of those outcomes.
I have a son from my previous marriage, but FH is basically is "father". We would like to have another eventually. Probably 3-5 years.

We already have our children. This is the 2nd marriage for us both. We are done and can't wait to marry each other and let the kids grow up and then have our time together
By 2020 I want a baby! I'm 29 now, and FH is 38. Our careers are on point, we've traveled/explored, etc. so we are READY!

We will probably start TTC right away. I have a medical condition that will make it very difficult to conceive naturally, but my fertility specialist recommended trying before moving on to other methods like IVF. I am ok with waiting a little longer, but with the few eggs that I have now, I am afraid that they will pretty much be non-existent after I hit 30 in 2019, but we'll see. We will be working with several doctors to make it happen. If those options won't work for us, we will consider adoption in a few years.
