Hit this milestone and need to accept its unlikely I will have a child?

[Panicstationsroundhere]

34 last week. I feel like that’s it for me. Last relationship ended in September, been dating but nobody significant.

I’ve noticed my periods are shorter than they were in my twenties. I feel like this is it for me.

I got used to the fact everyone I know had got married in a long time ago so I don’t feel the pain or jealousy of that. I’ve accepted being alone.

I don’t want to have a baby alone. I wanted the whole package. How do you make peace with this?

If dating and meeting the one was easy divorce lawyers would share an exhibit with the dinosaurs.

You’re being hysterically, laughably hard on yourself. Take that half empty glass and top it up. Relax. Chill. You’ve got bags of time and loads of options. If your feeling jaded with the dating scene take a break. Go indulge in a hobby you enjoy. Then when your feeling better about yourself take the plunge.

I wouldn't write off the possibility just yet. I'm 34 and recently got pregnant for the first time - sadly it wasn't workable for us as we haven't been together long (9mths) but maybe in the future things will work out.

I also feel that it's unlikely I'll get pregnant in the future but there's a lot more women falling pregnant later in life these days. Plus my grandma was 41 when she fell pregnant with my mum, and same for her mother. I think we're too worried about all the possible things that could go wrong and all the news stories about women's fertility falling off a cliff at 35.

Op your about a year older than I was when I met my OH we now have 2 kids.
Get out there, go on dates, enjoy the date, if he's not for you move on, keep going until you and find your Prince.
You have to kiss many frogs to find Your Prince

I have had my second at 40. Like you I thought I couldn’t have anymore and I was past it. Don’t assume. X

I assumed that you would be saying 40 or even 45! I've got several friends who met their DH's after 35 and had first babies at everything from 37 to 43 then subsequent babies. Honestly unlikely to be too old at all - it depends where you live but I know that the majority of Mums at the school gates when my eldest was in reception (aged 4) were over 40.

My friend just had her first child at 43 (via IVF with own egg and donor sperm). They're a happy little family. I myself didn't have my child till 36. Plenty of time yet, have hope.

I assumed 40 too.

I met DH later than that and I have a gorgeous DD. You're a baby!

That's how I felt at 33, had my first at 35. But if you have to make your peace then that's the way to do it. I rushed the father selection process and am paying the price now!! But never been happier being a single mother.

I assumed you'd just hit 50! Nope, only just begun really enjoy your journey

I got together with my partner at 34 (nearly 35). Had 1 child at 37 and another on the way (now 39). This is not uncommon in my friendship group, I know lots of women who had disastrous relationships in their early 30s who went on to have good relationships and babies in their late 30s.

Don’t feel depressed. There’s time.

I had 3 of my kids from being 36 and without trying!

My mates mum had a son at 44, you're worrying over nothing

Met my partner when I was 36. Had my first at 39 and my second at 41, they called me a geriatric Mum but I don't care!

Met my DH at 35 and had my daughter at 38. It sounds a cliché but I gave up looking and decided to enjoy my life - was so fed up with online dating.

Was 36 for DC1 and 38 for DC2.

Most of my friends have had DC’s in their late 30’s/early 40’s.

Take up some new hobbies & meet people organically. Good luck!

Good grief, you're being a bit Eeyore. You have time on your side still.

Indulge yourself and have a wallow for a few days, and then pull yourself together and get out there.

Christ. I didn't even meet my husband til I was 36! First baby at 39, second one at 40. Chill out!

Had my baby at 36. Know of at least 3 women personally who had first babies at 45, not ideal but luckily all Mums and babies fine and dandy.

I’m pregnant now at 41 nearly 42 after meeting the love of my life at 36. Not with any intervention either but a bit of an oopsie being careless. So not really time to give up yet for you

Meghan Markle was in your position at 34. Things can change!

There really isn't much of a limit on it these days. You have time to find someone.

Medicine can do amazing things too. There are donor eggs, surrogates, medicine that can kick you out of menopause long enough to carry a child.

So don't give up yet!

Please don't worry about your periods. It's normal for periods to change over time.

I know two women who finally found a new partner with 39/40. One became a mum at 43, one at 42 and 44. So much for that.

You are not too young

Jo Brand had her kids at 44 and 46 i think
