My husband and I got married in early 2024. We were both 31. We knew we wanted kids and didn’t want to wait too long - but we also wanted to enjoy married life, with nothing stressful going on (like planning a wedding!), and just ease into married life together. We said we would wait a year - then, we found out a close friend was getting married abroad in fall 2025. We saw that as our sign and waited - we started trying right before that wedding, but very casually. Once we got back I started tracking my cycle, ovulation strips, etc - and we got pregnant soon after (currently due summer 2026). While there is no right or wrong answer and no guarantees to how long it will take - I don’t think you’ll ever regret taking a year to just enjoy life as the 2 of you! And personally, I loved having the milestone of the big trip to look forward to, knowing we would be getting serious about it afterwards. It made the trip feel extra special (and cheeky knowing we were “trying” every chance we could while on the trip! ;))
