Sometimes you just have to work through those feelings before you are able to push them aside. Acknowledge your feelings of desiring motherhood. Say, I see you and I hear you! However, the best thing for us is to wait. Although I don't want to wait, I know it will benefit my future family. And just keep telling yourself that. Work through those feelings by acknowledging them and then reminding yourself of why you're doing what you're doing. 
How do you combat child fever when you've decided to wait?
I want a child. I always wanted a child before turning 30, but then I waited till 28 to find the right guy, so I didn't make the deadline. I finally have a great guy and a stable job, but we've decided to wait until he's done with his PhD. I'm perfectly alright with the decision. We both made it and we both find it reasonable. I don't think there's much of a difference between having a child at 31 and 33.
But the problem isn't the mind, but the body. It wants a child. I've tried to set my mind to other things like getting into form or learning French, but it doesn't work all of the time. The idea of a child keeps coming back (I guess it might be coming back each month with ovulation). It's pretty invasive.
The thing is, I'm ready and I don't have a lot I want to do before having a child, but I have a lot I want to do with a child. So I'm just waiting for my other half to reach that stage as well. How do I make the waiting less annoying?

Do yourself and have a fertility check in advance. Before you just wait two years. You never know how your ttc journey will be and if its a long one you might easily add two years more. Do yourself that favor.And then do the things you will have a harder time doing with a baby. Go on dates, travel, go to concerts or stand up or visit places you wanna go.
