Hi everyone, I have been looking around the site for a while so I thought i'd post. I don't know if I am classed as waiting to try but me and my OH have been together for 2.5 years and have lived together for 4 months (it feels longer cos I moved in in July 09 and he didn't join me properly (just weekends until Oct. )
I think we both feel we have found the one, and he knows how excited I am about having children but he doesn't see it happening for another 9 years (when he is 30 )
I definately see the sense in waiting but not that long, so if we last I hope to start ttc in 2016. Will just have to pursuade the OH when the time comes. I am 19 and he is nearly 21 btw.
I used to be on the pill but came off it in January, we were using condoms but have stopped using them and are using the withdrawal method along with me following my cycle / checking CF and being aware of when I am ovulating.
I know hormonal contraception is more reliable but I really don't like it. We have spoken about what we would do if i did get pregnant and we would both definately keep our child and just get on with it/be happy about it, but we want to be better placed for our future first.
I am sooooooooooooo broody though it is unreal.
I am at a top university and there is soo much pressure / expectancy for you to just get a degree, get a massively demanding job, make loadddddsss of money and maybe have kids when your 35 wealthy and successful but thats not how I see my life at all!!!
For me having children is a massive part of my life, bigger than all that and I do NOT want to be over 30 when I start having children!!!
Anyway, helllo to everyone!
