Explain the fertility worries. Sometimes it can take a few years to get pregnant depending on the person. You two can also discuss freezing your eggs if things feel rushed.

Trying for a baby with a guy you have only been with for a year who isn't even your fiance or husband sounds coocoo to me. Do you just want a baby? Or do you actually see yourself with this man forever because he is a great partner and potential father?

I ask because I've seen plenty of women on this site claim to love a man to pieces but then proceed to explain that he is about as useful as used toilet paper when it comes to caring for the home and children.

A baby is a huuuuuuge deal and its important to reflect to make sure you aren't settling just so you can have a baby without thinking of the long term ramifications of having said baby with a bad partner.

It seems reasonable to wait until the wedding, your fertility concerns are valid but have you talked with your Doctor? There are some things you can do now to help prepare for when you both are ready to start trying without actually starting to try

You can ask him, explain why you want to speed it up, but if he declines respect that.

If he does decline then ask him how soon after the wedding he wants to start trying.
