This is my first post so apologies if any acronyms are wrong!
My partner and I are both 22 with good incomes and next year we are buying a house. This has led onto the discussion of children (yes I know we are young, but that is another subject entirely). DP has always said she never wants children (although I think this was more feeling too young to seriously think about it), however recently she has come around to the idea. I have spent my whole life dreaming of having a baby. I am due for a promotion this summer and DP has said if I get it we can start trying for a baby in 2 years, once we have settled into the house, got married etc. However I like to plan and know exactly when and how things are going to happen. So my first question is how soon should you start looking for a clinic, donor, doing tests etc before TTC? I know you can't put a time line on the actual conception but I haven't found a lot planning everything up to that point.
Am I getting ahead of myself thinking about these details now? Also do people recommend home insemination or clinic? Money isn't the issue, I am wondering more about comfort/ease of procedure/point of view of non birth mother. We already know we don't want to personally find a donor so it would have to go through a bank either way.
Sorry about the long post but I would love to hear people's stories to put me at ease!
