Holy flipflopping, Batman!! (Army wife)

[nomorewaiting]

We have been at this ttc-ing thing for 9 months now. DH is in the national guard and was away for 5 weeks with military training so we were forced into what was probably a much needed ttc break. He is back now but will be gone a total of 6 months next year. We’ve waiting so long, put things off because of deployments and such, and have been trying for a while so I decided that we would not prevent the next couple of months but not go all out with OPKs and such because he will be away around the potential due date. If it happens then it happens. We have a great support system at home and he will be able to come home for a couple of days if this were to actually happen. That was my logic and my illogical side is just tired of waiting.

Sounds somewhat sane right? But….

Now my mind keeps changing. I go from the same excitement I try to avoid every month (because of so many disappointments) to this won’t be our month to this could be our month to holy crap what if this actually happens this month and he is not here and back to please let this happen this month. In reality I haven’t obsessed much this month and this flipflopping usually happens as I sit at work trying desperately to get things done but it doesn’t make me feel any less crazy.

How do you get this stuff out of your head? How do you prevent the symptom watch? Why did I find another reason to make myself a little crazier?


Thanks for listening!

I am too an Army wife. Right now, my husband is a DS so he's home every night but with REALLY crazy hours! Sometimes he has CQ. His next duty station is in Hawaii so that's where we're headed in December Right now, we are TTC and with my irregular cycles (VERY irregular) it's hard to pin point anything! So now I'm doing OPKs and BBT. but I feel like we are running out of time because when we go to Hawaii who knows if he'll deploy or not! and that's what scares me is when he does then we won't be able to TTC OR I get pregnant and then he's not able to come back to me in time (If I do fall pregnant).

I'm stressing myself out and that's not good
I think because we want to get pregnant that it's hard not to think about it..

Sorry, I don't think I helped any but I read your story and had to tell mine

Baby dust to you!
