Well just my opinion, I have been married 5 years, and we still don't have kids, you may change your mind later on. Some women can take up to a year to get pregnant after they stop the pill. A year of marriage, may not be enough time for you two to grow together as a couple. Putting kids into a brand new marriage only complicates things. Think about the reasons you may have for wanting kids. Think about it logically, and not emotionally. You can plan what ever you will, but plans don't always happen the way you want. Establish a great foundation in your marriage, which can take years. Be careful. Sometimes kids change relationships too. Be sure this man will be there for you no matter what. You and soon to be hubby should take parenting classes. Not to say you will be a bad parent, but it will help educate you in this area if this is what you plan. Hubby has to be on board, you cannot raise your children alone, and shouldn't have to.

First Congratulations to the two of you, I hope you have a wonderful life together.
Things might have changed since I took them, but this is what I was told, start taking them at least one month before, I would start now, it takes at least a full month to be effective. In the beginning, you should still use condoms to play safe and both of you should be tested for any std's before you stop using condoms, birth control pills wont stop std's or any other sexually transmitted disease. As far a pregnancy, back then it was wait 6 months before trying to conceive.
There are side effects, I can list some of them but I'd rather you go to your gynecologist, there are so many pills out there it's best to discuss with your doctor which one is the right one for you and he or she can go over the side effects with you and help you make a well informed decision.

Well, if you are already having sex then you should have already started them. If you are waiting until marriage then if wouldn't hurt to get them now and start taking them. When you should quit them is another story...getting pregnant doesn't just happen the as soon as you stop your pills..it may or may not..so if you want to wait a year then when that year is up if that is still your decision then stop them then. Side effects of BCP can include blood clots, stroke, or heart attack which all are increased risk for smokers and women >35 yrs old so...on that note BCP are effective & safe if you take them correctly and don't smoke.

Im guessing you are planning on having them work before your wedding night? It takes approx. a month for them to fully work. I have birth control from planned parenthood, I started them after I already had intercourse with my boyfriend, but layed low for about a month for them to fully work. I would suggest start A.S.A.P so you can make sure that your body is all used to it! Good luck.
Go in and talk to them and they will help you out! I did not experience anything negative, just lighter periods, less cramps and safe sex!! :)

start taking the pills now. they start being effective about 2 weeks after starting them. when you decide that you want to have kids, stop taking them about 3 months prior to that. it gives your body time to readjust to its natural setting. some people experience mood swings while being on bcp, but ask your doctor about what you're looking for (low hormones, reduce acne, prevent weight gain, etc) and he/she can presribe you something that would be beneficial to you.

Talk to your doctor before you try to have a baby PLEASE.
If you still have the birth control in your system when you get pregnant it could harm the baby. Make sure he or she tells you specifically how long you should wait. You should probably consult with an OB before planning to have a baby.

If you have to ask you haven't educated yourself on the issues of sex, sexual health, pregnancy and childcare.
I would encourage your to do that first before setting any time frame on starting your family.
