I agree, it's a strong desire to have a LO and it presents itself in this way. I have had many months in the past couple years where I am convinced I am pregnant, even though it either wasn't possible (On BCP, not BDing at the right time), nor the right time for us.
I think part of it is that there's some aspect to a 'surprise' baby that's novel to me now that I'm married. I don't mean to get too deep here but it's almost like a surprise baby would be a sign from the universe, or a product of our love, or something cheesy like that.
I was like that for my 1st. I knew I shouldn't be trying. We were a couple only about 1 year, not living together yet, in fact not even in the same country yet but I was purposely not too careful with birth control and I got pregnant.
We really do make the situation work even when it's not ideal and I didn't have a moment of regret!! Regret and being able to acknowledge that there would've been an easier time are two different things though. I didn't see my husband for 1 year because I got pregnant before we started the immigration process. He met our daughter when she was 6 months old. I could've had an easier time if I stayed with him during the immigration process and got pregnant when we came back to Canada. But I feel like everything is as it should be despite that
