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.

Has anyone been successful in negotiating the schedule on a global pregnancy bill? My provider won't bill by visit and split the global cost into four payments all due by the 28th week.
