Dear Ladies,
This may be a werid posting.
Before I started BO I always had cravings to have a baby. I am 40 and never had one. In my 20's I didn't even think I ever would, I was career girl in a big city. But in my 30's I began to ponder the idea, but not seriously enough to get pregnant and have a chid, due to lack of certain criteria that would be necessay to have a family. My income right now would not permit, and I am not married yet. So, I really am not planning to have a child anytime soon, if ever. ANYWAYS, usually on a daily basis, I feel the sense of loss from never having a child, and feel the need to have one around. I think it is probably natural at my age. When I see a mother with a little boy or girl, I wish I had my own, etc.
I was so glad that the high estrogen levels on BO took away that craving! It did lower my libido, but it was nice to have a break from the mental anguish from being child-free!
Now that I have switched to PO and a slightly loser dosage, (different brand, too) I feel those "baby cravings" returning. That includes sadness and remorse etc. That is why I was thinking maybe I should up my PO dosage, but the women who are more experienced with PO suggested I not do that
Has anyone experienced these emotional issues? The BO muffled the feelings, but the PO doesn't. Herbs didn't really make a difference for this topic with me.
Addressing the real baby issue, I may adopt one day, when the time is right. But the feelings and "baby cravings" and tearing up at times...are no fun ! Any input, girls???

You know what, sometimes for some people there is just never a "good" time to have a baby. No pill will fulfill that need to be a mother. I think your are going to have to do some serius soul searching and figure out if you want a child. You are 40, you are no longer at the top of the list for adoption. Time is a tinkin. There may never be a 'good' time, but what ever you choose, it will be a rest of your life commitment, basically. Good luck with this and take care.

I read my reply and didn't mean to sound soo blunt, sorry. If you want a baby now, go for it, if you want it bad enough you can make it work. If not, move on with your life and accept your choice. Sounds like you have tore yourself up over this for a very long time, that can't be good for you. Very best of luck with this Princess and hope you come to a conclusion about this soon.

I am with Snowflake about this,
If you really want a child go for it now.You shouldn't suppress your desires because this feeling will never go away.you are only putting it to sleep for a while.Think about that and Go for what your heart tells you.You can be a great mom too

Thanks ladies. But I think I didn't really explain correctly..it is just an emotional feeling from hormones, or lack of...that I am trying to illustrate here. I'm not intending to have a baby, I just get those maternal desires and that bugs me. Kind of like when we get PMS and we feel anxious, or easily angered or cry easily. I was just noticing that the BO stopped this thing, whereas the PO doesnt. Maybe too much estrogen kinda of killed the cravings , desires. It is just a feeling I get now and then, thats all. I did read that it does happen to women in their later years, and I was suprised that I wasn't alone. Just curious if anyone had the BO or PO change their emotional outlook on the subject or anything.
Thanks for responding! Its nice to have friends online.
