    Use your brain. Everyone's list will be completely different.

    As long as you and your spouse are completely in agreement on TTC, you are financially stable/have all your insurance squared away and have space to welcome an infant, the rest of the

    Pros: You and DH want a baby, are ready for a baby & get to have lots of sex to make a baby.

    Cons: you will not sleep at night, you will gain weight, you can't drink for 9 month...or longer, you are responsible for a tiny life.....

    I actually didn't make any lists before starting TTC. of course, when I actually started TTC, I already had a kid. So, that helped.

    Yeah, everyone is in a different place. I can say personally if we were in the exact same boat we are in today but even 5 years older (making us 28 and 30), we would be actively trying to conceive.

    Just noticed I didn't put this on the first message. I am 23 and DH is 25. Married 2 years, lived together for 5. So, you and I are in different situations but still very much the same in terms of items crossed off the to-do list.

    If I thought it
