The 90 Day Fiance: What Now? episodes -- which were released online by TLC on April 15, along with the rest of the original digital series' 21-episode third season -- showed the couple disagreeing on when would be the right time to start their family and where it fit in their priorities.
However, in the end, Alexei finally caved in and told his wife Loren -- who had baby fever -- they could shoot to have their first child in mid-2020 and the 90 Day Fiance: What Now? episodes concluded with Loren and Alexei discussing the timeline they'd like to follow.
"I definitely think we're at that point in our marriage where having a baby would be a good thing. It wouldn't put a strain on our relationship," Loren told the cameras.
"It wouldn't be to help our relationship; I think it would give us a balance."
Loren and Alexei were married for just over three years and new homeowners at the time the 90 Day Fiance: What Now? scenes were filmed.
Loren admitted to her husband the spark in their relationship had dissipated and trying for a baby might bring it back.
"She wants more than us, and I think that's just the next step and we're going to work towards it," Alexei revealed.

Alexei told his wife getting pregnant "might be good" for them, "like, soon... not too long from now."
"I think we're ready," Loren told her husband, before asking Alexei to clarify his ideal timeline for welcoming a child.

"Ideal date is August [in 2020]," he confirmed.
"Which means we'll have to start trying..." Loren began.
"In November 2019," Alexei determined.
Loren wanted to move that date up to October 2019, but Alexei wasn't willing to budge because he had a feeling Loren would get pregnant right away.
"Okay, so we have a plan! We'll aim... for August [2020], and if it doesn't happen in August, we'll just keep going. And whatever happens, happens," Alexei told his wife.
"You can't push me too much anymore. We have a plan and that's it."
Prior to agreeing on a timeline for their first baby, Alexei and Loren held opposing views on when to start trying.

Loren hoped to obtain his American citizenship before starting a family, telling the 90 Day Fiance: What Now? cameras, "It will make me feel more comfortable with moving on with our lives and babies and next steps in our marriage."
But Loren was aching for a baby, and many of her friends were already pregnant.
"Something in my heart is saying I'm ready, like if it happens, I'll be ready," Loren told the cameras.
Alexei didn't think Loren was taking into account how expensive it was going to be to renovate their home and raise a child. He didn't think they could afford to do it all at once.
Alexei's original plan, as a result, was to obtain his citizenship within six to eight months, renovate their house, travel as a couple, and then get pregnant.
But Loren accused her husband of using his citizenship "an excuse to delay other things" -- and she admittedly didn't "want to wait much longer" to start a family.

Loren began to fear Alexei might never be ready.
"I don't know if I'm ready for a baby right now," Alexei confessed during the show. "But I don't know if anybody is ever really ready for it... I wish I knew what being ready for a kid looks like."
Alexei not only felt pressure to make Loren happy since she had envisioned having a few babies by age 30, but both of their families also wanted a baby in the picture soon.
Loren and Alexei, who starred on Season 3 of 90 Day Fiance, met on a birthright trip to Israel. She was the staff leader and Alexei was the medic, and she found him "incredibly handsome."
The pair kept in touch once Loren returned to the United States, and then she visited him five times in one year -- which resulted in an engagement.
