Biological Clock Broken?

My husband and I have been married for a little over 2 years and I have noticed that his biological clock seems to be ringing nonstop! My problem is that mine hasn't. I'm not ready for kids yet and he has begun to worry that I may never want any. When will by biological clock start to tick and how do I reassure him that I eventually probably will want kids?

    If aren't sure you do, do some hard thinking about it ASAP. You need to know what you want - not "eventually probably." If you do want kids, give him a time frame. He may feel better by having a date in mind.

    There are plenty of people out there that wait to have kids. My parents were married 7 years before they had me. My husband and I were married 8 years when I got pg the first time. When my husband and I discussed having kids, we set an end date - the latest we would want to have kids. That helped take some of the pressure off. We ended up having 2 kids w/in 15 months! We were at our end point (by age) when the second one arrived.

    Your biological clock is not broken! You are probably enjoying this new life with your husband, and probably very busy. You just need a little more time. Personally, I've been married for over 12 years and never felt the necessity of having babies. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with it! Talk to your husband, be honest, and he'll understand.
