Head hurts with this

Sorry I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this as I couldn't find the right option but I'm struggling. Had a very traumatic MC last year which broke me. We were trying for a baby but I split up with my partner a few months after my MC as I was getting no support. I have a new partner (been together for 9 months) and I can't shake the feeling that I need to have a baby. He has no idea that I feel this way but I'm finding it hard to fight the feeling that I have. I am not on any contraception as I have health issues that prevent me being able to have most forms and for a long time after my MC I wasn't having periods. I've now been having regular periods for over 6 months and ovulating the same time every month (I test and we avoid DTD during this time) but I am in complete control of this and lately I'm struggling to fight the urge to get pregnant. I was wondering if anyone had any advice as I'm not sure how to stop myself feeling this way. My partner is amazing and would make a fantastic father but I know it's not the right time for us at the moment, I still cant help feeling this way. Thanks in advance :)

If I were you I would start using some form of contaception, condoms at least, wait a few months then talk to your dp about you feel/review the situation. This broody phase may pass (in which case you'll be glad you were careful not to get pregnant), and if it doesn't ask him how he feels about kids. If he's not interested I suppose you could try to find someone else, who wants to start a family, if it's important enough to you.

Thank you! I've been feeling like this for over a year now and recently it's all I think about so I've no idea how to stop 🤦‍♀️ he's great with kids and I know he does want kids but pretty positive he doesn't right now so I don't really feel like I can talk to him about how I'm feeling especially as he won't really understand my pain from the loss as the baby wasn't his. Thank you :)
