Me and oh are a bit torn between TTC in th next few months or waiting longer.
Reasons to wait longer are:
To get more money saved
We've just put and offer In for a house
We are planning to get married in 2017/2018

Reasons for next few months:
My oh feels he is getting too old to start a family, he's 31 m 23
We both want children and have at least 2 if we are able to.
My oh sees it as if we started trying in September then it could still be another year before we actually had the baby.
We both have stable good paying jobs.

Oh has already said he wants kids now and I've always wanted children. Additionally we are going to have a tough battle due to my previous losses and oh is scared we may have a loss and thus could be even longer before we have a baby.

Judt need outside perspectives x
 
Well, theres never a perfect time for a baby, and people always manage to find a way to cope. If you feel ready for a baby and its just money holding you back, id say go for it (unless you're REALLY struggling financially of course).
Ideally id have liked fo save 4000 pound before a baby but thats just not happening :haha: but personally im going to go ahead anyway as we manage perfectly fine.
If you dont feel ready and really want to get married first and not have money worries, then wait a couple of years :) It's completely up to you! Perhaps have a chat with your OH about your concerns and see what he says? x
