So... My husband and I are kind of struggling with the decision of whether to consciously start trying to conceive our first baby. We are still young, and I know that (I'm 20, he's 24). However, we are financially stable. Emotionally, I think we could improve a little bit. We have only been married a short time. On one hand, we would like to enjoy each other. On the other, we are both ready to be parents. The conversation about this seriously began not long after I had a miscarriage almost directly after I stopped taking both control (birth control made me crazy... Long story). Although we knew at that point that we were ready to be parents, it's a very big decision. And, yes, I know that no one can make that decision for us. But has anyone had similar experiences? What did you decide, and how did it work out for you?
