I'm ~18 months from starting this journey. Waiting until I turn 30.
What should I be doing this far in advance?

Other than saving money, and paying attention to my health.

Get life insurance. Pregnancy can reveal previously undiagnosed medical problems and some pregnancy conditions can count against you for life insurance purposes (ex. Gestational diabetes), so it's better to get it before you start trying. And, if you're on hormonal birth control, go off your birth control. It can take up to a year for your body to return to ovulating and cycling normally once you're off birth control pills.

It can be helpful to meet with a fertility specialist. Many clinics offer an introductory appointment where they explain different options for conception, egg/embryo storage, fees, and genetic testing. Your obgyn or pcp can probably recommend a good clinic in your area.

Just here to say I’m so thankful we have this safe space.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
