Joining the military while TTC?

Question

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 2 months. This is our 3rd month, but he's joining the military beginning in August and I'm unsure if we should continue TTC? I've heard mixed things about TTC while first in the military and so I'm up in air about it. We both love each other very much and have been together for awhile. We both want to be parents but I've heard it's already a huge life adjustment without adding a baby to the mix. What are y'all's opinions? Please explain below especially if you've been in my situation.

Answer

I would really wait until you're used to the military routine and get a duty station. You don't know how much you'll move or when at first till you get on a schedule and I really wouldn't want to deal with moving while pregnant. It's a whole new experience. Enjoy 😊

Answer

My husbands in the military and I just moved to Texas to move in together officially. Every keeps telling us to not try because of military life, but no matter what military life never gets easier. It's full of unpredictable things non stop. If you and your spouse want to have a baby then keep trying.

Answer

Your life is about to flip upside down. Wait until you're settled at least. I will say, in the military there's never a "right" time. You'll always be waiting for something. Let yourselves get to a station first though, easier to do with two of you.
