Hi all, I am new on here and wondered if anyone would be able to offer me some advice. I struggled a bit with ‘spring fever’ last year but it is out of control this year. I think this may be because I am now in a position where starting a family is a realistic option. However, I would love to spend a couple of years travelling beforehand. Logically, I can tell myself this. But my body is having none of it. I am losing sleep, feeling empty and depressed. It seems to get worse when I see babies on tv, and I have really vivid dreams about it that wake me up. My ovaries actually ache, it is like my body is punishing me for not giving in to my urges. I wish there was a way of overcoming these feelings but I know that it is probably not possible. I know that it is natural to feel broody but this is taking over my thoughts so much that I cannot concentrate on anything else. Has anyone else experienced this? Did you give in or did the feelings pass?
