AF came today and for the first time in my life I’m sad

Caitlin • 👨‍👩‍👦 we got a son 🧢 using this app!! Now working on a baby girl!! 🎀

This is my first time posting so hoping for some good feedback! My husband and I have been married for about a month and a half and I got this app about 2 weeks ago. We have talked plenty about having kids and we def want to start trying soon but haven’t “officially” started. I really just got the app cause I was curious and I thought it would be a good idea to start tracking my period and ovulation. But I will say we aren’t using any form of birth control either. This month I was a few days late and AF wasn’t coming so I started getting a little excited and thought maybe I was pregnant. I told myself that I would get a pregnancy test on my lunch break today! It was kind of a funny feeling actually being excited about being late! ( I’ve never been excited about that before) But I woke up this morning with my period... and for the first time in my life I was sad to see AF. I know we aren’t even officially trying yet and I know I’ve only been married for a month but it shocked me how disappointed I was and how emotional it made me. I guess I was just wondering if any other women out there have felt or do feel that same way? How do u cope with it or lift your spirits up during that time?

I know some women have been trying for months or years so I do feel a little guilty about being disappointed or even posting about this since technically we aren’t even really trying yet. But we aren’t really telling people that we are trying so I can’t really talk to my friends about it. And even though my hubby is my best friend and my rock I feel like because he is a male that he might not fully understand the emotions and all the feels that come with this journey.

Any feedback or thoughts or similar stories/feelings or advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks y’all!
