Babies on the Brain

Start TTC Right Away?

How soon after you were married did you and your husband start TTC?

If my husband had his way I would be pregnant by now (we were just married on 10/3/08!) I was so back on forth on wanting to start now or waiting 6-12 months and then last week we had a really big health scare with my husband. Thankfully everything turned out ok, but it really made me think and now I really have babies on the brain!

Re: Start TTC Right Away?

  • Everyone is different, so what we did has nothing to do with what you guys decide. You should both be on the same page. I hope your husband is ok.

    Having said that, we waited one cycle.

  • Yeah...we can't answer that question for you.
  • We waited a year, that is what we both wanted.  That being said, everyone is different.  Both of you should be on board before you try.

  • You're way behind. You should have started 6 months ago.

    Heather is smart. Listen to her. Oh, and we are still waiting (been married 9 months) 

  • We waited until I was done with my BC the month we got married.  Call me selfish, but I didn't want AF for my wedding.  We TTC'ed for 3 cycles.

  • We wanted to wait at least a year to enjoy being married, ect for a while. It's your choice not ours.

  • We didn't wait at all, actually we started TTC 6 months before the wedding b/c of my age (I'm 32) and my PCOS we knew it would take a while.  Still trying!  Good luck, you should start when you BOTH agree its the right time.

  • We have been married for a year and 3 months.  We wanted to have our own time together first.  We are starting to look ahead though.  I am getting on his insurance, going off BCP after the new year, starting to chart, PNV's, etc. 
  • You need to do what is best for your marriage and your family.

    We always planned to wait at least a year and ended up waiting a little over 2.5 years and got pregnant on cycle 4.  That was the right situation for us, but it may not be with you.

    I personally like a little space to just be a married couple with no responsibilities, and to work on being a couple, but not everyone does.  If you and your dh feel ready, then that's all that matters.
