6 years 9 months. It started as a five year plan but got extended due to DH's Army deployment, DH's going back to school full-time, and then focusing on paying off our debt. We have been TTC since Jan. No luck yet but we're praying!
We started trying 3 months before our 4th anniversary. Like you said, I kind of wish we had started earlier, but then I think about all the things we've done that we wouldn't be able to do with having children, and I don't mind it anymore. No regrets.
TTC #1 since 7/08
After 3 years, 2 losses, 3 rounds of IUI, and one round of IVF, we finally have our dream come true!
DS born 7/30/11
I stopped BCP in June 2008 (we got married in May 2008). We didn't prevent anything, but didn't actively start TTC until September. We got our BFP on cycle #4.

5 years (yes, 5 years to the day. We decided to TTC while at our anniversary dinner!).
Do i wish we had started earlier? Eh, sometimes. BUT, i can't say that i have any real regrets. We were able to travel and see so much...DH has been able to get established in his job and I was able to take this job, where i travel pretty much nonstop...none of this would have been possible if we had TTC earlier. So no regrets...just a lot of hope that it happens soon...

We were going to wait a year, so I got a depo shot right after the wedding and then a month into it we wanted to start trying but....thanks to depo it may be awhile!
I actually got a suprise BFP on our 4 yr. anniversary... we weren't actively trying just more of an oops. But I m/c @ 5 weeks so now we are trying again.
DS#1 born 3/10/10 @ 9 lbs. 7 oz.

We are on the older side (me 34, him 45) and we wanted to get started! We will plan a wedding after we buy and get settled in a new house. So, I may be pregnant or have a baby by the time we have a wedding. Unconventional, but it works for us.?
4 years! DH and I were married in 6/2004 and we just started TTC in 6/2008. The reason is that I've been working full time and going to undergrad and grad school part time during that time. I FINALLY finished last June.
We have been together since 6/1996.

Compared to those around us, it's been a long time! Seems like everyone else that got married that year popped a baby out already.?
