Trying to Conceive Discussion

21 and wanting to start my family

I am 21 years old, I have a steady well-paying job, a nice apartment, and a baby-safe car. I have loved children ever since I can remember and have always wanted to eventually be a stay at home mom. I\'ve been dating my boyfriend for two years and we have plans to get married in the future, but are not yet engaged. I know that it doesn\'t make sense for us to have children yet as we do not have as stable of a home as I would like, but I still can\'t help feeling that I want to start my family now. I don\'t know if it\'s just my biological clock running fast or what, but every month when I have my period it makes me a little bit sad because it means we aren\'t going to have a child that month. We aren\'t trying to conceive and I am even on birth control, but it still makes me sad to know that we aren\'t going to have children for a while. My friends and family (cousins) are all getting married and having children which makes things even worse because I see what my life could be. Of course most of these people don\'t have a college degree or an excellent job, but at this point, that doesn\'t matter to me as much as I thought it would. I love the fact that I went to college and got my degree. It\'s helped me to become financially stable and be able to set up my life, but at the same time it has made me put my dream on hold. All I want is to have a baby.
