Hi everyone,
I am 28 and partner is 30 soon. We've been together for 11 years (met very young!) But we're not married yet. We don't own a home, but have a deposit saved, and we hope to buy somewhere next year.
For the last year I've been feeling desperately that I want a baby. We've spoken about this and agree that we definitely want this, but more like 'in the future' rather than actively discussing it, if that makes sense.
I've always had irregular periods, so I'm concerned about my fertility, and all of a sudden I feel like the 'future' has hit me hard and I feel like I can't wait any longer. Basically my question is, when did you know it was time to have a baby?
In my head, I feel that we should own a home and be married, but both of these things could take a year or two, and I suddenly feel my biological clock ticking, especially as I approach 30 with possibly fertility problems. (I know I can't be sure about this, but I know my periods are very irregular so I'm assuming!)
