I want to TTC but partner wants to wait

[TTC2020hopefully]

Hi there,

I am 33 and my partner is 36. I really want to start TTC but my partner wants to wait until next year, which to be fair the way the world is, is reasonable. I however, am desperate for a child. We had a miscarriage a year ago now (unplanned pregnancy) but this further reinforced the fact I wanted a child.
We own our house, financially stable etc so no issues ok that front.

I know January is not far off but I know it may not happen straight away and could take time so my argument is why not start to try now.

I know in my head he is right but my heart just says start trying.

I am pained everytime someone I know gets pregnant - my partner doesn’t understand this at all and says our time will come.

Am I being pathetic??

Tbh I was the oppsite. My hubby would have started trying the day after we got married if he could. I wanted to wait and travel. Now lockdown has happened it's put things into focus and literally overnight I went from "one day" to "put a baby in me now". We have decided to wait but that's more to do with financial and medical considerations than covid.

I'm waiting for my flat to sell so we can go house hunting and then I'll take my coil out and we can start trying :)

Ahhh congratulations - lovely news

I definitely don’t want him to do anything begrudgingly cos it would take the shine off all the excitement! It seems a lot of people have been in the same situation where they felt ready before their partner - I have no reason to believe he won’t want to try in Jan so I am just going to enjoy the rest of this year (maybe try and get on holiday if we can) and get going in the new year x
