Here we are.... 2 days before my period.

My husband just returned home from a 7 month long deployment. He messaged me about 5 months ago and said it’s time to start activity trying and give our daughter a sibling. We knew it would be hard. It took us 2 years to get our daughter. We tried a full year before he left and then stopped because we didn’t want to be pregnant while he was gone.

He told me he order ovulation test, pregnancy test and got us both prenatals and multivitamin for him.

He was so excited to start trying.

We were hoping the odds would be in our favor and give us the “Post deployment baby.” Every one kept saying watch you’ll get pregnant 3 days after he gets home.

Well I’m here to announce. That nope. We didn’t. We thought this would be our month. We did everything right, and now I have to go tell him that we aren’t pregnant, and my period started early. I have to kept telling my daughter that “someday” she will get a sibling when in the back of my mind.... I don’t know if we will ever have another child.

Have have give ourselves a time line. We will try for 3 cycles and then go get him tested again. We have been tested back in 2015 and told we would never get pregnant without medical help. But got a surprise baby! (My 3 year old daughter.)

I’m just an emotional basket case right now. 🙃☹️
