How soon...

You know I think it totally depends on the relationship.  You have to do what you feel is right for you, regardless of what others think (easier said then done I know).

  For us, we are going to let nature take it's course  and if aren't pg by the end of my 6 month stay then upoun our return to the UK (in May) we'll both get tested and see if we can help the process along.   Since neither one of us are spring chicken's (I'll be 36 next weekend and he just turned 40) we don't want to leave it too long and then not be able to have at least one child of our own.

Baby born 13 months after we got married. Planned but thought it would take longer to conceive!

Aww..I didnt realize you guys were newlyweds!

Yup! It was not even a whole year since we first met in person when Ethan was born. 

I was married in January and our son was born in October.  My second son with my current DH was 1 when we married.  I am now expecting, this child was "planned", though all my children were excellent surprises.

Wow, am I the only one who waited forever?  My son was born seven years after we were married!  Granted, we were together for six years before we bothered to get married, so we tend to take our time to "jump" into major decisions. 

Our daughter was born a little over 14 months after we got married, and she was planned.  We just wanted to be able to celebrate our first anniversary before a baby arrived, but didn't want to wait much longer than that.

Well we are planning to start trying on my 30th birthday, which will be 3 years since our wedding.

my husband is 6 years older than me and i'm trying to guarantee he is a daddy before 40, not 30!

the ladies are right, do what is right for you.  He and i were apart for 2 years long distance and we are having so much fun being young and in love and in a cool city.  A child would be great, and we're excited about the thought-but for us it is not the time!

I was 4 months pregnant with Isabella when DH and I got married, and it was unplanned.  We have never once regretted not having much "alone" time.  She has brought so much joy and happiness into our lives.  Our relationship was strong before, but Izzy has made it stronger.   Everybody's experiences differ though.  What works for one couple, may not work for the next.  With that, I do agree to have or not have a baby so soon in the marriage must be your own personal decision.  I agree with MickysMartha, you have to do what you feel is right and best for you.
