[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the thing: if you try asap and get pregnant right away, once the baby is here you're probably not going to regret having started immediately. Conversely, if you wait and there's issues, you may regret not starting sooner. Or you may still be fortunate and get pregnant easily. There's just no way to tell and hence no right answer!

I got married at 33, pregnant the first time every time we "tried" at 33, 34, 36, and 37. Two miscarriages and two healthy babies.[/quote]

I agree with this as long as you have a healthy, strong marriage.  Which is impossible to know after a few months of marriage!  Everyone goes through rocky patches, and it's impossible know you won't have a harder time adjusting to married life.

OP, do you feel like you still have "stuff" to work out with your husband?  How are your communication and conflict resolution skills as a couple?  DH and I were together for almost 15 years before DD was born, and the newborn phase still was tough on our relationship.  If you are uncertain about how you guys would do, I'd wait for a little while.  Not to be a debbie downer, but I've seen the resentment and frustration build and eventually destroy marriages after a few years more than once.  [/quote]
