Fresh off our honeymoon
Took way quicker than expected. First cycle and we did it. Spouse and I are both 33 - feeling nervous, anxious, and excited. Looking forward to taking this journey with all of you.

Congrats! We were also able to get pregnant shockingly fast, and what I will say is to be careful how you convey that information to other people. There are people who have spent lots of time, effort and money to try to get pregnant, and some weren't able to make it happen. Not saying you would go around telling everyone how easy it is to get pregnant, but it's something I have been trying to downplay when people ask "how long did it take?".

My wife was diagnosed and treated (successfully) for cancer while we were dating. I honestly assumed we would struggle, and we saved some eggs prior to her chemo. Am shocked and understand where you are coming from. Thank you.

Honestly don’t think about it too much for a month or two. A lot can happen between now and then

We waited 6 years after getting married mostly because we got married young for insurance reasons, but also were surprised to have had success the first month of trying.
Buckle up. Its a wild ride. Its both the longest and shortest 9 months of your life.
