I know this is a bit of an impossible question, but in your opinion what is the best age to conceive your first baby?
How many years marriage/time together as a couple did you have/would you prefer if you could choose/do it again?
How long has it taken you/others on average to get a BFP?
I shall be marrying in 2015 when we are both 30 and do not know whether to try straight away or to have a couple of years married life beforehand. We have been together 3.5 years atm (living together 2.5 years) so will have been together for 6 years by the time we marry. Have a 2 year old nephew and 4 year old niece on his side. I'm currently back at uni doing my masters, which finishes in December this year so before baby I need to get a 'proper' job, and we would like to buy a house first. I really want to marry before baby, he doesnt mind which way round we do it and would have a short engagement of 6 months if necessary. I'm saying June 2015 for the wedding as that gives us 18 months after I graduate to work for a bit, save up and plan the wedding.
Just dont know whether to start trying soon after or not.. OH has been broody for years, me too but I put it on back burner and therefore became less broody. We want two, ideally a couple of years apart but it depends how we cope with the baby! My brother and I are 18 months apart (mum found that very hard) whereas OH and sister are 3 years apart (as are his sister's two kids). I dont think I would like to be much over 33/34 when I'm having my second...
Sorry- brain dump when I should be revising!!!
