    it depends on whether you mind being pregnant on your wedding day. If you dont mind and think you can handle the stress dont stop.
    On the other hand, you dont want to be pregnant when you get married leave it for a while. You may find fittings and stuff hard if you get pregnant now and have baby just before you get married. x

    no one can answer that apart from you and h2b! how long have you been trying? i think the average is 9 months but it can take one month could take 2 years. prehaps you should say to yourself if your not pregnant by june you will stop trying till after the wedding so you arnet pregnant on wedding day or have a month old baby? xx

    Hi. I am getting married this September and we were trying for a year until last September cos then if I had of got pregnant I would still have 3 months before the wedding to get back to normal after, if there is any normallity after having a baby lol. We are going to start again in July so if I do get pregnant ill only be 3 months so should still fit in my dress.
    Good luck with whatever u decide to do x

    well i was on the injection for about a yr, been off it a yr and they give an average of 18 months b4 your body is working properly lol so if that right november is when the 18 months is up. not sure i'd mind being pregnant to be honest just have ppl telling me i'm stupid mainly friends that already have kids! my min thing about this is i was pregnant when i was 18 but unfortunatly had a misscarraige and its been a big part of my life that i knew i wanted to have kids. i have a gorgeous 5 yr old stepson but its sorta not the same even tho when hes here i treat him like he's mine. he keeps telling us he wants us to have a baby to he wants a baby bother seeing as his mum has had 2 girls with his stepdad. i'm just not sure if i could handle a wedding if i was heavily pregnant. i'm just sooooo confused lol

    How old r u ? I dont really have age on my side, Im 36 but I know I dont want to be too far pregnant when I get married, I also desparatly want to have a baby and hate not trying but I know its for the best. Ive asked peoples opinions and they all say I would regret looking back at wedding pics and seeing myself with a big bump. I know we wouldnt be able to have the wedding we want if we had a baby too.
    I was on the pill for an few years and then was trying for a year with nothing happening, so Im crossing my fingers and hoping my body is back to normal again by the time I start trying again.
    I will be going to the doctors after a few months of trying if nothing happens because technically we have tried for longer than a year.

    i've just turned 26 :D i can see the whole bump thing but i'm not sure i'd care tbh knowing what will come out at the end and me hoping for it for so long. if we carry on trying i'll be going docs by the end of this yr. only reason for that tho is cause when i miscarried they had to basically do an abortion cause my body wouldn't do anything to get rid of it so anything could of happened there :( and if i'm all good the h2b will be getting tested all that beer he drinks can't be helping at all :P but tbh i think i want a baby more than i want a big wedding so i guess i just answered myself there.
    thanks tho for all opinions, i may change my mind tho if i'm not pregnant by july :D

    Personally I wouldn't want to be pregnant on my wedding day, but that's just me, u need to do what is right for you.

    You have more than a bump to worry about though, there will be hormones, tiredness, possibilty of early labour, all the stress of planning a wedding cannot be good for a baby and you can't join in with the champagne celebrations. x

    We decided to try before we get married, but set a time to stop trying so I wouldnt be pregnant on the big day.
    I fell pregnant after 6 months, the month we were going to stop trying! Our baby boy arrived on the 22nd Dec, he'll be six months old on the day.

    Best of luck!!!

    Personally I'd wait - or I'd stop trying so that I wouldn't be pregnant when I got married. H2B and i are sooooooooooo broody, but we both want to wait until after the wedding, we can't really afford to have a baby and a wedding, plus, rather selfishly, I want to be able to drink and have a good time at our wedding and on honeymoon - so we've decided that we're going to start trying on our honeymoon!

    Ultimately though, it's your decision - there's no right or wrong answer. x

    personnaly i wouldnt want to be pregnant on my wedding day only so that i can enjoy the whole day without getting tired and i would all ready be feeling sick on the day wouldnt want any extra reason to feel sick on the day, then u have the wedding night ;-D
    only u and h2b can make the choice what ever ur choice it will be right for u x

    I wouldn't want to be pregnant as weddings are stressful, but more than that, I've been looking forward to getting married for years and want to be able to enjoy it properly, be able to let my hair down, have a drink, etc.

    I'll be nearly 28 when we marry, and hopefully we should have bought a house just before our wedding, all going to plan. I plan on coming off my pill (Cerazette) after the honeymoon (don't want a period to ruin our honeymoon lol) and start TTC then. I'm leaving it a bit late as I have endo, but we won't be in a position financially to start TTC any sooner anyway.

    As you're 26, and presumably healthy, then really there'd be no harm in waiting; but it's a personal decision, and depends on so many factors eg your financial situation, and whether you'd cope being 8 months pregnant on your wedding day, or having a 1 month old baby that needs breastfeeding etc. I personally couldn't cope with that, plus I'm more traditional than I realise and don't want to be pregnant before I'm married, but that's just me :-)

    We will be starting to try just after the wedding. I didnt want to be pregnant on my wedding day as i wanted to be able to drink if i want to, dance as much as i like and pick up my kiddies for kisses and cuddles, not to mention venture off on honeymoon without thoughts of morning sickness etc (both pregnancies was very bad lol) H2b had suggested trying just before, but i also dont want to risk another october baby if i can help it, both my kids are 5 days apart as it is lol

    well i've decided i'm gonna give it till june/july an if i'm not pregnant then i guess i will have to go on the pill or something, don't want to go bk on the injection as i pile weight on with that! and the h2b doesn't like using anything so its all down to me! so if i was to get pregnant i really don't mind having a 3 month + baby if i'm honest. maybe because i've wanted it for so long nothing can spoil my happiness of having a child :D or having one on my wedding day either :D not sure if i mentioned.... i was pregnant when i was 18 and didn't even know it till it was to late... never had any morning sickness or cravings so maybe i'll have a great one again without all that to cope with :D but all pregnancies are diff so this time i'll prob be soooo sick i can't move lol. that pregnancy ending in a miscarraige not sure why tho cause at that stage i never drank and i still don't :D

    it can happen when your body thinks its not the right time. Just let nature takes its own course. Motherhood and marriage are blessings, and if you get pregnant before wedding well so be it, and if its after at least you'll know you won't get sick during preparations :)
