I see that many of you ladies have weding pictures as avatars, so I'm curious: how long has everyone been married/together with DHs? How did you decide to TTC now?
 
We've been together since I was 19, married for 6 years. I've had the baby fever on and off ever since I can remember (started at age 4 I think, lol), but there's always so many reasons not to: I wasn't finished with school, we were moving, DH's career, we wanted to do things (especially dance) before having kids etc etc.
I'm still in grad school, but now close to the finish line. I'm getting closer to 30, and DH's 35 this year. So we thought it was about time, since we'd like a bunch of kids. Also, finally I feel not just eager, but ready- maybe grown up enough to take care of a child. We decided more than a year ago that we'd start trying this spring, and so here we are TTC.

I've been married for 5 years (this past May). We've been together for 9 years, since my freshman year in college (he was 2 yrs ahead of me). It was actually really funny. I had gotten a horoscope magazine the summer I graduated high school, and it said I would find my true love that October. I said, yeah right. I'm going to get a boyfriend after one month in college? We started officially dating October 10th. Wish I had kept that horoscope! That would have been a great keepsake!

I, too, have always had baby fever, but of course we knew we wanted time to ourselves and wanted to wait til we were ready. I worked in daycare, and had younger siblings, and 8 little cousins, so I had no allusions as to how hard it is!

And now I am so excited. DH and I keep talking about places we will go with our kids, and things we will do. I love that he's so excited too!

My and my dh have been together or almost 7yrs, we only ot married they year on May 30th. I always said i didn't what to have kids, but then one day this feeling hit me like a brick, I'd tried shaking it, but I couldn't, then it became an obsession.
Eventually my dh agree that we shold start trying (he's always wanted kids and is great with them). We are so ready to be parents.

DH and I were married 4 yrs on Sept 10th and together 6 yrs. We decided to finally TTC last September. I had been wanting to try earlier but I knew my DH wasn't ready yet. He was only 26 when we got married but I was already 35. It took us almost a year exactly to get pg. With the help of my first IUI. Best of luck to all of you guys to get pg soon Big smile

My DH and I have been married for 7 years, together for 9. We are entering our 4th month of trying. I always thought that we would have 2 or 3 kids by now, but life happened and it never seemed the right time until now. Like most others I've pretty much had baby fever ever since we got married which made working somewhat difficult at times. I work in OB and having babies be born around me every day at work did get trying at times. There were many times I wanted to go home and bd like crazy Smile, but I was always able to stop myself. The funny thing is it used to drive me crazy to be around all those babies, but now that we are ttc it doesn't bother me one bit.

We are both very excited to start this new chapter in our lives and can't wait for that BFP!!

Husband and I have been officially married for a little over a year, but have been together for 10 years. Why now?

Well... we dated for 2 years before he and I were engaged. I was in university during our engagement, so we didn't get married until I was done with undergrad and post-grad (plus 6 years) and "gainfully employed" with tenure (plus 2 years) in my profession. So basically, I wanted to finish ALL my schooling and secure a job before attempting to have our first child.

My DH and I have been together for almost 3 1/2 years, but only married for 1 1/2. I'm 28, and he is 26. Like Kay Will, I never wanted kids while I was growing up. Never thought I'd be good with them. Then after we got married, I developed this weird feeling....an urge to be pregnant and have kids! We started casually trying last November, after being married for six months. Then this past October I had my ten year high school reunion. Afterwards, my husband sweetly said "So, you've had your 10 year reunion...I think it's about time we get serious about this baby thing." It was adorable! So this is our first month really, really trying. Here's hoping!!
