Unsure whether to broach subject of children etc

Sorry if this is in the wrong place

Little background I’ve been vehemently against having children and recently changed my mind and decided I do want a child. DH isn’t upset or happy I’ve changed my mind seems pretty indifferent.

I suppose my question is how long do I wait to see if I still feel like this or return to my previous thoughts before trying.

How do you broach the subject of beginning to try for a baby with your OH and what do you do if you feel ready and they don’t?

How long you wait I think depends on how old you are? I was 34 when I changed my mind, 36 when I told him and we talked it over for a bit. Started TTC at 37 and it happened first time. That was very lucky so I wouldn't recommend leaving it that late! I wanted to be absolutely sure I didn't change my mind back as it was kind of irrevocable once I was pregnant.

Thanks for the response. I’ve spoken to him we are going to wait a few years then start trying 😀
