I got married at 27 and had my first at 29.5. I agree with Amber that you should make your marriage strong before bringing children in the picture.

My husband and I had the opposite experience from most of the other posters. We married young and intentionally waited thirteen years before having our first child. We really enjoyed experiencing the world as a couple, and then we were really ready when we finally did start a family. We have two great kids now.

We have been married for 2 1/2 years and have just started TTC about a month ago.

I’m the same as a lot of other posters – our son arrived 9 months and 2 weeks after our wedding. I too had heard the ‘can take up to a year to conceive’ and so we just got started and it happened first time! Our 2nd is due in June – our plan was to start trying this month but actually we somehow conceived in Oct. We do feel very fortunate that it seems to happen so quickly as we have many friends for whom this isn’t the case, but will definitely be more careful after this one arrives!

My husband and I have been married for a little over two years. We’re both in our early to mid-30s so we decided to start trying sooner than we would have if we were still in our 20s. We’ve been working on it since August, but no luck yet.

Our son was born exactly nine months after our wedding. We’d been together for seven years, living together for five and owned a house together for three so the wedding was just a formality. We set that as our date to start trying, and *POOF*. Who knew it would happen so quick?

We got married in mid-September and I went off birth control in October. We conceived our child in November. It happened a lot faster than we expected (our doctor noted that it could take up to an entire year) but it’s a blessing nonetheless! =)

We got pregnant the month after our wedding. Fine time to find out ‘oops your pills weren’t strong enough!’ I wouldn’t trade our daughter for the world though.

We were married for a month before deciding to start trying for a baby. We had no idea that it would happen on the first try, so we are expecting our first baby six weeks before our first anniversary. Since I’m 31 and he’s 36, age was a big issue for us because we’ll be first-time parents in our 30s.

We got married young, at 22, so we were in no rush to have kids. Fortunately, we were able to wait a number of years and still be relatively young when we had our son. He was born right before our sixth wedding anniversary.
