oh my goodness!

I am completely bewildered. to cut a long story short, I have been thinking because I am on a fixed term contract that I am not entitled to maternity pay. NOT TRUE. Just spoke to HMRC. IF I get pregnant THIS month technically I am entitled to full maternity pay. Next month NO (due to when my contract expires). This is crazy. I had no idea this is the case.

It is now day 14 of my cycle. My last two cycles have been 30 days long. I think this means I will probably ovulate on day 30. I could have a chance of getting pregnant this month, IF this evening when my fiance gets home, I can convince him that now would be a good time to have a baby.

In the space of a couple of hours, a desperate woman has gone from thinking I'm going to have to wait over a year to try for a baby to realising that I can try this evening.

However, whatever the chances of me actually conceiving this evening are , you can bet the chances of my fiance agreeing to this are even slimmer.

Help girls! How can I convince him?!

Don't tell ur fiancé just jump him. He'll love u for making first move. I never told my hubby I was even using ov tests until I was pregnant. He didn't wanna 'perform' under pressure lol

Yep I'd just go for it and don't tell him (if he's agreeable to having babies that is) I never told my o/h that I was doing opk's etc just that we weren't protected. He'll just enjoy the attention

Excellent news on figuring a way around the teaching thing, if you know he wants kids, but just cant decide when, just surprise him!
If he's anything like my fella, he'll never feel he can say 'the time is right' and would rather the surprise!

Hi Ladies,

Thanks for all your messages! Unfortunately we only use condoms as contraception and he always insists on using them and last night was no different. He says its out of the question us trying for a baby this month or anytime soon as he is not ready..... gutted.

I am glad you know the truth now. Wait until April when you know about a job for Sept and when you have one you can try. That gives you 6 months to discuss it with your partner.

I am exactly the same position as you though, temporary contract as a teacher, 26 years old and want a baby and partner isn't ready yet so I know exactly how it feels xx
