Trying to figure out if I'm broody?

[lilapril]

I have never particularly wanted to have children. Two weeks ago I came off the pill because of side-effects (I had been on it for 7 years) and all of a sudden I can't stop thinking about being a Mum. I have spent all of my teens/20s being scared of falling pregnant and now I quite like the idea?! I don't know if it's because I've come off the pill and my body has been flooded with hormones I've been suppressing for years, my age (I'm coming up to 30 and I've had it said to me many times over the years that I'll start wanting a family at that age), or what??

I guess I just wanted to get some feedback from others.... did you always know you wanted kids? Or did you change your mind over time? Or is being broody post-pill taking normal and is it possible l'lI go back to not wanting kids over time?

Not sure if coming off the pill has anything to do with it or not but I can say that I didn't want children until my early 30's - it wasn't a sudden change of mind though more a gradual thing. I think everything else in my life got to the place where I realised that children were the last missing piece - luckily hubby got there about the same time (if not a bit before me).
Hope you find your answe.

When i was almost 30 it was like a switch had flicked and I wanted a baby. Coming off the pill, and turning 30, probably has got you thinking seriously about it and the answer seems to be that a baby is something you want?

Thank you for sharing your thoughts

I've had an honest conversation with DH about it and I think he'll be happy to start trying in a few months if and when I'm sure of how I feel and the pill is out of my system.
