    My hubby and I were together for 9 yrs until we got married. 2 weeks after our wedding we TTC and less than month after I was pregnant. I wanted to be married before we had babies and after 9 yrs, we didnt waste anytime!! Enjoy the time with him before you start TTC.Your relationship will be different once the baby comes. I dont mean that it will change in a bad way, its just different. Watching your husband being a daddy is the best and it brings your love to a whole new level, at least it did for me. Only you two will know when its right and you never know might happen before you think :) Good luck!!

    We dated 3 1/2 years and have been married for about 1. We will not be TTC until close to 3 years married though.

    Like Joy said. I am not looking for a number of years. I am waiting for us to both be 100% ready.

    Dated for 5 and married for 3 before TTC. We set certain goals that we both agreed on before starting (mostly travel related).

    DH and I celebrated our 2-year anniversary in April, and I went off bc in May. Our first year of marriage he was deployed, so I wanted "us" time after he returned before adding a kid to the mix.

    Dated for five years, were engaged for one, and have been married for two. We'll start trying this month.
    No longer posting on The Bump due to the appalling misconduct of the staff and of its parent company, the XO Group. Four thousand  active, engaged members do not represent "a few bad apples" and we are not trolls.

    Dated for two years and were married about a 1 1/2 years before TTC.

    When we were married we were in no position to start a family. DH was in law school, we lived in a small apartment and I wasn't pulling in a lot of income. After we met some goals (graduate school, get jobs, buy a house) we started TTC.

    I just got married in June also and have quite a bit of baby fever too.  In Oct H & I will be together 5 years I'm 34 he is 41.  So time isn't really on our side.  We just want to enjoy the summer and be married for a few months, do some home renovations before trying.  It still doesn't help that I want to start trying now.... but I keep reminding myself it's months we're talking about not years. :-)

    We dated 4.5 years before getting married, we started ttc a few months after we got married because we were anticipating problems as there are fertility issues in my family, we ended up getting pregnant our first try so we had our first a few months after our first anniversary.

    I am literally in the same case! 23 yo and dh is 26. Married 1 year. You really just need to communicate with your husband and be on the same page as it is a life changing decision.:)
