Genetic screening

I feel like this doesnt get talked about enough at OB appointments. Has anyone gotten genetic testing done before TTC? Is it worth doing or just more of an anxiety producer? Planning to start trying this December, not sure if its something I should look into more or not

When did you know you were ready to TTC?

For context, I am extremely a type A person. I like to be prepped and plan everything as much as possible. I know that is not always a possibility when TTC. We've been married for a little over a year. I've never been that person that was "destined" to be a mom. I've been always kind of on the fence on having kids in general but ever since our wedding I'm starting to feel that shift that I am ready and excited to start that chapter. Although there is nothing stopping us from trying, I still feel hesistant to jumping right in. But there is always that concern that maybe it will take us longer then we think. (I am 29 almost 30)

When did you know you were ready and were there things you did before to get you to feel that way?

For those who have jumped off the fence and chose to have a baby, what influenced your decision?

Currently on the fence but starting to sway to jumping off to have a baby. There has been kind of a weird switch after getting married and being around my friends with young kids, know I feel it's something I want and can see myself doing. THAT being said, I still have reservations and nervous to fully make that jump. Would love to hear other peoples experiences, positive or negative.
