Hi everyone, I am soo broody! Its getting to the point where im watching one born every minute and crying! However I had a talk with the OH and we agreed to wait me thinking a year or maybe less as he is setting up a buisness until he turned around and said 5 to 10 years. Im so ANGRY because Im ready and understandably his buisness is the funding but 10 years is a long time
Sorry rant over..

5-10 years is a very long time and I understand how frustrated you must be. Maybe you should give it a few days to settle down and then have a discussion about it with him. Obviously he wants to be stable and settled before having a baby but you need to put your side of this across to him.

Me and my OH have got a tick list kind of thing which we're going to achieve all the things on there before we start TTC. Maybe you should do this and it will help with the time cause you'll be aiming towards something.

Best of luck to you with your OH and I hope you can come to a decision which you're both happy with xxx

Hi there, I just wanted to tell you my story as hopefully you will see light at the end of the tunnel. My oh was the most anti ttc and anti baby man you could ever meet. I could not get him to even discuss ttc let alone agree to it for more than 2 years after getting married (we have been together 8 years btw and in early 30s) I got so angry and jealous when friends got pregnant, and he totally didn't understand and if anything it put him off more. Friends babies disgusted him, it seemed like nothing would change his mind, then finally I got him to agree to me stopping my bcp. He just gave in! My trick was to avoid talking about it for a few months and give him space on the issue. Every six months I would bring it up again. He couldn't then accuse me of harassing him. Even once we agreed to this, he still tried his best to avoid knocking me up - would make me go on top, only do it once a week, try and make me get up immediately after. And now, 3 months since stopping bcp, I am having problems with irregular cycles and my doc thinks I'm not ovulating yet. Now he realises how hard it is, my OH has now COMPLETELY turned a corner and we are now bd'ing every other day with him on top, using preeseed, and he has me using OPK so we can time if I do OV, and lastly but most astonishingly, he is taking Pregnacare Conception for Him!

So in conclusion, let me tell you honey miracles CAN happen. I am sure he will change his mind sooner than expected, and wish you lots of luck. xxx

I feel really sorry for you it must be really hard!
I'm in a similar position to Baby Me but not on such a large scale.
My OH and I had discussed starting TTC but he was quite happy to wait a few more years whereas I was really struggling, constantly thinking about babies, getting upset all the time etc. I'd been having tests as I'd had irregular bleeding and it turns out I had Endometriosis (it had stuck my right ovary to my Uterus) and I also had a Polyp. Long story short I've had an operation and they're pretty sure they've got it all but there's still a chance we could struggle to conceive. This has completely changed my OH mind, it was a real shock for him, I think it hit him a lot harder than it hit me because he took it for granted.
I really hope nothing like that happens to you but it just shows sometimes it takes a man a bit longer to realise!!
I hope it all works out for you xxx

5 to 10 years is a very long time so I don't blame you for being upset. Though from experience, I know the more I would bring TTC up the more frustrated and put off by the idea my OH became. I would just leave it for a few months and then try to approach the topic again later. Hopefully he'll be more receptive of TTC sooner when you bring it up again.
