Hi! I’m new, pls be kind :).
I have 2 children with ex husband ages 6/9. I met a lovely man, who’s my soul mate, last year, who has no kids of his own (he is 10yrs younger than me Wink ) we’ve discussed kids and he/we would love one. I am
35 and have read so many stories of it taking forever to get pregnant the older you are.. I also don’t want it to be stressful TtC. We were going to have the coil out in Oct/Nov time... but I keep thinking maybe we just have it out now and see what happens! I’m scared of leaving it too late and wishing we started trying sooner. Oh the dilemma!!

I don’t think having a baby with a 25 year old after a year of knowing him is a particularly great idea tbh.

Think of your children you already have, it would be very difficult on them if you suddenly became a single mum of 2 and a baby. Soulmate or not, you need to really think this through first. But that’s my opinion. Take from it what you will.

I would wait until you have known your partner longer. A year is still v v early days and I think he is still quite young for children.

You’ve only known him a year?
I’d wait a year or two.
