TTC early in case I have issues?

[Lamont77]

Me and DP keep going between ttc next year after our wedding, or waiting for a year after the wedding before ttc (the latter being the original plan).

I know that only I can answer this for myself but wanted some opinions.

So, I have endometriosis with symptoms on bowel and bladder (not sure if this makes any difference to ttc), then my mum didn't ovulate so had ivf to fall pregnant, my gran had endometriosis and had a huge age gap between her two kids unintentionally, my other gran had an early hysterectomy due to cysts and pain and had huge age gaps and issues with fertility too.

I know that's a lot of info. My point is I'm getting more and more concerned about having issues to conceive because of all these factors.

Thinking I should sacrifice the one year of child free newly-married life and start ttc straight away. At the same time, I'm only in my 20s so maybe I'm overthinking this.

I would say to focus on your wedding, start talking folic acid and then see how you feel once you're married. We'd planned on waiting a while after getting married but we both just wanted to go for it straight away (no concerns about fertility, I was 27 at the time). Just enjoy planning your wedding and go with the flow.

I wanted to wait until I was 30 years old to ttc because we wanted to travel,
Took us 7 long years, loads of tests, two surgeries on my uterus to finally get pregnant, then 2 years again to get pregnant with baby #2.
Im only talking about my own experience as everyone is different.

Clearly, you and your DP are the only ones who can make that decision and there's no right or wrong answer. I can offer you our experience of a similar decision as an anecdote though:

I was diagnosed with PCOS and told I might have trouble conceiving when i was in my mid-20s. My DP and I made the immediate decision to stop using contraception and see what happened. (We had in mind that if we did want to be referred for fertility treatment we'd have needed to have been 'trying' for some time. We also knew that we wanted to have kids and, while we'd have ideally had them a couple of years later, we would have been ready then.)
Eighteen months passed. Nothing happened and it began to loom larger and larger in both our minds. Eventually, we went to the GP and were expecting to be offered Clomid because of the PCOS. But DH's tests unexpectedly threw up more issues and he/we were told that his chances of fathering a child without IVF/ICSI were vanishingly small. We went straight to IVF, which we started when I was 28. IVF clinic were very bullish about our chances, mainly because I was so young, and we had two rounds of IVF and three children over the next 18 months. Obviously, we are very lucky.

So, for us, the decision to start TTC early paid off and I'm glad we made it. They were difficult years, and it did take up an increasing amount of headspace, however 'casual' we were initially. And we'll never know what would have happened if we'd waited - we might have had the same outcome. I wish you luck with whatever you decide.

Thanks, interesting to hear your experiences @NannyDorothy @maudmadrigal

I'm leaning towards trying after the wedding or coming off the pill at least but not doing temp checks etc for the first few months.

Thanks @Dragonfire282 and yeah, I think I'll start taking the vitamins in the months before the wedding and see how I get on.
