We went to Southeast Asia so waiting to start TTC was important because of the malaria meds and other nasty things I would have come into contact with in Bali/Philippines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-pre-ttc-checklist#post-1666716 Thu, 29 May 2014 19:04:37 +0000 Mrs. J 1666716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once we were married, we wanted to be in a house.

We are saving, too, but we don't have a specific goal in mind for this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-pre-ttc-checklist#post-1666689 Thu, 29 May 2014 18:58:41 +0000 winniebee 1666689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kind of! We wanted to wait until I was around 30 and also had had cataracts surgery :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-pre-ttc-checklist#post-1666669 Thu, 29 May 2014 18:54:29 +0000 yoursilverlining 1666669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally, I was not interested in having children under I graduated college and established a career and got myself financially "comfortable" (i.e., not living paycheck to paycheck, handle on debt, etc.). </p> <p>Together, we wanted to be married at least a year, pay off some specific debt, travel some, save more than we had, etc.</p> <p>ETA: Oh yeah, and I wanted to wait until I was 30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-pre-ttc-checklist#post-1666626 Thu, 29 May 2014 18:43:30 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1666626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePumps: we do too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-pre-ttc-checklist#post-1666581 Thu, 29 May 2014 18:36:03 +0000 pui 1666581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Be married was pretty much it. We ended up waiting until we were married a year and a bit to start though. I would have started sooner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-pre-ttc-checklist#post-1666573 Thu, 29 May 2014 18:34:27 +0000 catlady 1666573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both wanted to be done with grad school and I wanted to have been at my job for at least one year. We also really wanted to have bought a house already, but it wasn't totally necessary (in the end, it did happen that way). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-pre-ttc-checklist#post-1666553 Thu, 29 May 2014 18:29:32 +0000 PurplePumps 1666553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted to TTC right away since I was 31 when we got married, but he's younger, so he wanted to wait. So we waited 1 year and went on two international trips that year. 20 months later we're still now we we joke about why we even bothered to wait. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-pre-ttc-checklist#post-1663827 Thu, 29 May 2014 18:00:00 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1663827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did. We wanted to be married at least a year, pay off our debt, and take a vacation. </p>
