Broodiness and the COCP

Started Yasmin 2-3 months ago once relationship got "settled". First time I've used hormonal BC.

Since then I seem to have discovered my biological clock - with a vengeance. I'm finding myself pulling faces at babies in shopping centres, reading most of the MN Conception and Pregnancy Boards (and even an hour or 2 with the childbirth board hasn't put me off!)well, joining MN too! I even came home from the shops today with a big pot of folic acid tablets (well it was on offer, and I would want to be taking it for a good 3-6 months before TTC)!

Neither of us are in any way shape or form ready for this, and neither is the relationship itself, but....

Is it one of those catch 22 type things - that using the pill is making me not want to, but TTC would bring me to my senses? Anyone else had this with Yasmin? Or other COCP? Or is it just something I'll have to put up with given that I am 32 now?
