What Does Extreme Emotional Urgency To Conceive Suggest?

I am 28 and can t stop thinking having a child. I know that I need to be financially stable and in a serioua relationship and want to be married first. I have a career but want more. I just have this urge all of a sudden. Most of my friends got married years ago and are on their second kid. I never really minded. I am even thinking about ok well when I am 32 if I don t have kids by then maybe I will go the artificial insemination route. I am confused...could it be hormornes or do I need to talk to a therapist or something? It isn t interferring with my everyday life but sometime I do get really emotional thinking about it and I don t know why....

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello there,
First of all I am happy that you could identify that this urgency is maybe a problem and you have been able to ask for help. This is called insight.
Your thought process is a sum total or a manifestation of some unfulfilled desire. The urge to conceive in some women becomes so strong that they can actually have body changes that mimic a pregnancy. I would advice you to have counselling sessions with a therapist. When they talk to you you will get a neutral perception about yourself from them and it will help you understand the root cause of this emotional urgency.

Hope this helps,
Please feel free to address any further questions to me,
I will be glad to help you further.
