I can't believe how many people have already asked me when DH and I are going to have a baby - we've been married for 9 days!

I know 8 people right now who are pregnant, so maybe there's something in the air - but it got me wondering - when are you and DH thinking of starting a family.

We're both 32 and depending on my job search, we're thinking of starting when we're 34 or 35.

DH still has a year and a half of school (graduates in may 2007). Then we want to both be working for 2 years to save money, pay off some loans, etc.

I'm guessing in about 4 years we'll start trying (when i'm 27 and he's 28).

Well, we are both 31 but I want to at least finish my doctoral coursework. DH is also wanting to go back to school next year for MBA/MSF program SOOO earliest we would be starting is after my comps, Spring 2007. It's hard, many of our friends are on beginning to think about baby #2 but it's not quite right for us yet!

We're trying now. DH is 40 and I'm 32 so we really don't want to wait. Hopefully by this time next year we'll have a little blessing.

We plan on starting a family within 1-2 years. We are concentrating on getting a house first and then starting a family. Once we get a house we will start trying for a family.

Re: When are you and DH thinking of starting a family?

Technically we have been actively trying since March (three months before the wedding). I don't exactly work like clockwork... at all. Considering I'm 35 and DH is 37 we are now undergoing infertility treatments

It is difficult when I hear about much younger girls who have actually been married less time than me 'accidentally' get pregnant and I am undergoing tests like a medical guinea pig.

People should NEVER ask because no one knows if the couple never plans on having any or is desperately trying to just have one.

We are waiting a few years also. I don't feel ready yet to be a Mom. Brian feels the same. He is happy to wait a few years and just enjoy our alone time.

Re: When are you and DH thinking of starting a family?

we're thinking about starting to try around october-ish... but we'll see what happens when we get to October (it may get pushed back just a little bit)
i would start trying right now if i wasn't working FT and going to school PT, but DH is more into the 'waiting a while' theory. But, we both agree that if an accident Did happen- we'd still be sooo excited
