finally started! first round

Hi everyone,

My name is Myrna, I'm 28 and live with my 31-year-old boyfriend. We've been together for over 8 years and have been living together for about 5 years. I've always known I wanted to be a mom. Ideally as early as possible. But I first wanted to finish my studies and get a stable job. I met my boyfriend in my first year of study and we quickly became inseparable. After 2 years, I had to stop my studies because I didn't pass my P, so I started working. Pretty soon, my boyfriend and I dreamed of having our own little house, and soon after, of having children. Once we had the house, the desire for kids grew stronger. But I preferred to wait until I had a permanent contract. Unfortunately, my contract wasn't renewed after 3 years. So our wish for children was delayed again. During my third job, the crisis hit and the industry I worked in collapsed. Another layoff and no sight of a new job. So I made a career switch and started a 3-year training program. I didn't want to start having kids until after this training because I didn't see how I could combine studying/working with a small child. Unfortunately, I got laid off again after a year. I didn't see the point in it all anymore, but I took a big step and started my own business. I'm now in the right place and work is going super well. Since I'll never have the prospect of a permanent contract, it doesn't make sense to wait any longer, and we finally pulled the trigger. I've stopped the pill and we're going for it! We're so happy and can't wait until it happens!

By the way, I'd love to connect with members who have also just started. Maybe we can exchange experiences and support each other during the waiting time! Love, Myrna
