    My OH brought this one up & made me panic! I still haven't recovered from a difficult pregnancy & labour with my first who arrived in February this year. He's going to have to wait about 18 months after the wedding before we have our second to give me more time.

    Straight away!! It's been difficult enough waiting until after the wedding! But as I've pointed out to H2B many times, my dress will not accommodate a bump, so unless he doesn't mind me throwing £800 quid away plus whatever a new dress would cost, we're waiting ?

    We didn't wait. Currently up-duffed. Luckily, I have 6 months to lose baby weight before we get hitched.

    Your choice in honeymoon location can affect this - if you go somewhere that needs malaria tablets (for example) you should not try until the medication is out of your system (a month after you stop taking the pills). - This is what the nurse said to me... so defo something to consider! :-) However - after that month, we had our success!!! ?

    Well, I refuse to come off the pill until our honeymoon is over, don't want any unexpected visitors IYKWIM!

    Then OH is off to t'other side of the world for 6 months so as soon as he is back!

    Well my OH wants to start trying straight away after the wedding, but I dont think she realises how difficult the process is going to be. I keep leaving her things to read on known donors (we have a close friend willing to donate his wares ?- need to get a contract, etc sorted first mind!) Fingers crossed she catches as otherwise its me!!! aaaaaaaagggghhhhh

    We will start trying straight away! I keep thinking if I got a MASSIVE hoop for the dress I could easily fit a bump in it...but then I think no I must wait!?

    Never! I alreaady have a son who is 12. I'm pushing 40 my OH is 40, I nearly died having my son (long story) so although my OH doesn't have any kids of his own we've decided not to have any.

    Besides, they cost more than weddings...

    But good luck to those who will be trying!

    This is something me and H have discussed a lot. We were going to try straight away but with us both being made redundant we've had to put it on hold untill we both get a new job and get settled. We already have a 5 year old so didnt want to leave too much of a gap between. It looks like circumstances will prevail though so its on hold for now.

    As much as I would have loved to start trying straight away I think we'll wait about a year, we want to start a family soon but we also want to have some time to enjoy being married first, a couple of nice holidays and a new wardrobe (now I have money for me again!) and then we'll go from there.....will have fun practicing for now! Haha! x

    This wasnt massive on our agenda to be honest, we got married last year, and are not planning on having kids at least for another 2 years!

    If it did happen before, it wouldnt be an issue, but at the minute we are just enjoying it being us!

    Everyone keeps asking though......think that now people have stopped asking us when we're getting married, this is the next thing to nag us about!

    Id like children quite soon after we are married - if my OH had it his way I would be prgenant when we get married next year!! Its only 9 months to go till our wedding so I cant afford any slip ups now!! I would say we will probably start trying 2012 as we get married August 2011!!

    I am very broody at the minute especially because my SIL who is also my BM is due to give birth today but theres no sign as of yet!!

    OH would gladly have me preggers now, he wanted to do something like announce it at the wedding day (jealous you got to do it Natty!). And I would love a baby, but I want my lovely month long honeymoon in New Zealand first.. and we have to save our pennies for that before we start trying. Maybe we'll try in New Zealand ?

    I think we'll start trying when I'm 30, so we'll be married for a year. It depends on how I'm doing at work though, cause I'm the main bread winner!!

    I think we will leave it a couple of months and start trying in the May after we get married. We already have a daughter and want more, but if we can plan it, I'd like to have a spring baby rather than a christmas baby otherwise we'd prob start trying on HM

    We plan to start trying on the wedding night! I'd like to start trying before but I get very bad period pains so don't want to temp fate and come on on the day as that will be me missing the wedding as I'll be busy fainting and throwing up!

    Weve still got a year before the wedding, and we are planning on waiting a few years after it so that we have some time to enjoy just being married

    Congrats Natty I didn't know you were expecting!!!!! Hope you are doing ok so far.

    For me the jury is out on this one. Years ago I always seen myself married with children but I just can't get excited about the idea at all. I keep thinking I'll wake up one morning with that desire to have kids but I'm 32 now and its just not happening!!! Think I'm too selfish - I love doing my own thing, going lovely holidays with my Husband and just generally coming and going as I please.

    I had a 5 year plan starting when I was 30. It was - get married, 1st kid at 33 and second at 35. Just now I'm still be on track for that. I'm kinda thinking start trying this time next year (all going well I'd still be 33 when I have the child....lol) so that gives me another year to get excited about it!!!!!

    I also have no desire to start straight away. We have lived, breathed and put every penny into this wedding for 18 months that we are really looking forward to having our lives back and having fun. We are both quite young too (im 23 and he is 26) I think when OH gets to 30 we'll think about it more. I could imagine us being a couple who never have kids though.

    I haven't taken contraceptives for over 4 years and although we were not officially TTC nothing ever happened, I even had some fertility tests done. I didn't stress too much and then in february we decided to be careful until the wedding as I didn't want to feel queasy or be huge on our big day. I fell pregnant unexpectedly during our wedding weekend. Baby due mid-July!
