To want some positive stories from women who were happily single at 32, met a great partner later, and had kids naturally?

There are happy stories out there (BF met her DH aged around 32, married within 2 years and has a DC, my sister met her DH aged 34 etc)

However I agree with @MMmomDD : other people’s stories won’t predict how things will go for you

Am much older than you (late 40s). I know many friends who have conceived naturally aged 35-early 40s, and just as many who struggled

In your case I would freeze my eggs to avoid rushing into a bad relationship/rushing TTC

i froze my own eggs at 35 and it took the pressure off massively, I’ve seen too many women ‘settle’ in mediocre relationships as they feel time is running out: this doesn’t have to be you

Less cheerily: dating in 30s can be challenging as ‘the good ones are taken’ (obviously not ALL of them!), and then many people become single again 40s/50s

Be proactive, date a lot NOW, don’t cling on if the relationship is going nowhere, and possibly consider men a little older than you /divorced or already with kids to widen the pool

Men your age can feel the pressure of a woman’s age too which is why I urge you to consider freezing your eggs

I was with my first boyfriend from 17-27 and then spent years pinging between one man and another. Casually dating in the main but a couple were relationships. I basically had a lot of fun!

Then at 37 I met DP. He was one of a few I was dating and then slowly and organically we ended up dating properly. I kind of moved in with him (his house was closer to my work) and then just as I was officially moving in with him found out I was pregnant at 39.

We are still together - now we are both in our early 50s with DC.

I didn’t expect this to be my life: I was expecting to be single forever but then things changed.

My advice, enjoy being single but be open to seeing how things develop with new partners but don’t force anything.

Met approx 32/33 (can't remember!) But was married at 36 and first baby at 37 which we conceived after our first 'go'.

Met a couple of months before my 37th birthday. Married at 37, have three children (so far), and he's downstairs cooking us all pancakes for breakfast while I have a lie in :)

Met my partner at 35, got together at 37, gave birth at 38 and 40, first time conceiving with both babies.

I was same as you at 32 so had fertility check done at private clinic for peace of mind.

Started online dating but with a relaxed attitude and had an unexpected whirlwind romance with now DH. First child born when I was 34 and expecting second now at 38.

You've certainly not missed the boat. I'm glad I met DH later when we'd both learnt life lessons and grown as individuals.

Yep, 32. 2 dc under 2. Mortgage, marriage. Got pregnant first time with both at 34 and 35. I'd always been really sociable and went out a lot so was always meeting people.

I have a similar story if it makes you feel any better!

Was in a long term relationship with my first serious boyfriend most of my twenties. Engaged, had a mortgage on a flat, the lot. One day he unexpectedly told me he didn't want to marry me - thought my life was over, utterly heartbroken. Made a loss on the flat, moved into my parents house.

Unexpectedly fell for a work colleague (convinced it was a rebound!) but it wasn't 😁 Was a little younger that you but got married shortly before I turned 33 - was fairly quick tho, although we were on and off again for a while, we moved in together less than 6 months after being "official". Got engaged the following year.

Had my first at 36, got pregnant fairly easily. Currently pregnant with DC2 and I've just turned 40. Didn't think I would get the chance to have two. I had unexplained secondary infertility the second time around unfortunately but then it just happened naturally.

You never know what's round the corner But I hope you have a happy, fulfilled life whatever path you end up on :)

Not a fully positive story as a separate health issue means no pregnancy but I was dating in my 30s and met my wonderful partner at 36.

Several shortish relationships since starting dating. My advice is keep pushing on but be picky.

He has stuck by me more than I could have ever imagined so good men are out there!!

My good friend met her partner around 37 or 38, I think, and had her DS at 40. Married a few years later.

I was around that age when I decided that if I wanted to have a long term partner and possibly children, I needed to actively do something about it. I did online dating and met dp and we have kids. I don't think I am likely to have met someone otherwise. I never felt a burning desire for this sort of settled life, so i am sure I would have been have been happy if it hadn't worked out, but I am glad it did.

Left long term partner at 32 as he wouldn’t commit - met my now husband at 33, engaged at 35, had our first baby at 36.

Met my dh at 32/33, married three years later, had children at 37 and 41, both conceived very quickly. This v normal timeline amongst my friends (London-based). However a lot of my peers struggled with children, either with pregnancy losses or IVF so I think it varies a lot. I did establish with DH early on that he wanted a long-term relationship and children (second date!) as I didn't want to waste my time.

I met my DH at 36 and had babies at 39 and 41.

I had three children by that age. But it's still young. You have plenty of time.

I was 29 when me and DH got together, first baby at 32, married at 33, second baby at 37. Both conceived naturally (and I have PCOS). Still happily married ☺️

I had my first baby at 34 with my then boyfriend. Second at 41.

I did get divorced though that’s irrelevant to what your asked and I found my forever other and now husband at 50.

Met DH at 36 - kids at 38 and 41. Married at 42. There was an element of 'settling' for DH. I wasn't looking for anyone when we met, but once we had and been together a while I realised I really wanted chance for kids.. and that was more important than aspects around his career, financial status etc.

We are very compatible on most things and have a very happy family 20 years on, so 'settling' sounds worse than it is.

I know you asked for happy stories…. But if I had my time again I would go back at 32 work on my career then have a baby on my own …. I rushed into a partnership as my biological clock was ticking and had a child now have the ick but he refuses to leave … joint mortgage and he threatens 50/50

Don’t rush into a relationship for the end result as it is a lifetime you are intertwined with the other parent

At 34 I met my now DH at a party, we then went on to have 2 kids, it's not too late x

I met my husband when I was 32. We were married 54 weeks later. No problems with having kids; it felt like I got pregnant every time we had a warm handshake.

Coming up to 27 years now.

Totally single until 35- met online, married 2 years later and DD naturally at 38. Don’t stress it

Happily divorced at 32, good job, own home, busy social life. No interest at all in children.
Met at 37, married a year later, had first DC at 39, second DC at 41.
Conceived second month and then first month. That was the easy bit, both pregnancies I had severe hyperemesis, followed by EMC and second planned section.
This was 30 years ago and still together.

Hope things work out the way you want them OP, but in the meantime enjoy your life as it is.

I got divorced at 32. Met DH at 34 on a dating app, married at 37. Got pregnant at 38 first try, unfortunately had a miscarriage but got pregnant again a few months later. We are in London so it’s very common for people to meet early/mid 30s and have kids late 30s naturally. Am much happier in this marriage than my last and if I’d been scared of my options being single at 32, would have stayed in an unhappy relationship and wasted good years.

You'll be fine, wishing you a happy life ahead.

Literally same here pretty much!!! 😍

Single at 32 ( for most of my 20s in fact) Met DH at 35, married at 37, kids at 39 and 40, naturally.
