Together 11 years, married 3.5. We met young though and kids weren’t on our radar until we got a couple of years into marriage.

Started trying as soon as we got married, which was just under four years since we had been together.

Why do you ask?

Pepsi4Eva · 28/01/2026 10:55

7 years, 3 married.

Together for 11, married for 4. Age must make s bit of a difference; I was 29 when we started trying.

About two and a half years but it wasn't planned. We were very happy though, we had discussed both wanting them very early on.

Way too soon … but time wasn’t on my side. I had DD1 at 41 and DD2 18 months later when I was 42. We got married when I was six months pregnant with DD1, we’d been together approximately 15 months. We separated when DD2 was five and are now divorced. My friend said ‘that’s what happens when you get pregnant, get married and then get to know someone …’ She was not wrong 😂
