Broody and single 😩

[CharlotteRose90]

I actually can’t cope with how I’m feeling. I did something stupid today and I bought some baby clothes that I liked.

I’m 30 and single for a year and I’ve never been so broody for a child in my life. Actually upsets me as I feel like I’ll never meet anyone or have a child. I’ve been dating since my split but haven’t found anyone I truly connect with.

Please tell me I’m not the only one to feel like this.

My best friend was single until 31, had their first child at 33.

I'm so sorry you are feeling it so intensely at the moment.

Thanks :) I think it’s just with lockdown I wonder if it will be another year before I met someone. I never wanted a baby or kids and then when I hit 29 it’s come and hasn’t left since. I see kids everywhere now and want one.

Go on the pill. It often kills libido for years so it might also work on broodiness. I've never felt this way so don't have better ideas.

Watch Sex and the City. Wish I’d paid attention before having kids!

Me too but nearly 37 and single for 6 years

Ovulation every month is challenging due to all the emotions, hormones and broodiness.

At your age, things are much more promising, you definitely still have time to meet someone decent and have kids.

I definitely didn’t have a libido on the pill but I can’t take it now for other reasons.

I came off the pill 2 years ago 🤣. I had a massive sex drive on it though, can’t go back on it now unfortunately
