So what's everyone's back story? Let's make this tww pass quickly!

I am 25 and DH is 29. We have two beautiful little girls one who is 5 and one who turns 3 in just a few short week hoping for a blue bundle to complete our family but wil be perfectly content with another pink one as long as we end up with a healthy baby we are happy.

Thanks Proudarmywife! Been having very strong O pains all day so you never know, we might catch it! Only our first month back ttc so not feeling stressed about it yet.

So I am 30 dh is 32, and our little boy is 2.5 and in need of a sibling! We have just moved from UK to USA so all our plans last year were very much focused on the move. My sils wedding is in July and I had so many comments about not ruining her day being pregnant that we waited for this reason too (sucks huh?!! &#128546 now we've had enough of waiting and want another in our family. I'm excited, scared, anxious as to how it will all play out but have had so much support on here!

Ooo where in the US did you move to? And wow those comments aren't very nice 😞 I'm sure the were probably meant in good fun though but still.

FX for you proudarmywife. Hope it's ok to change the subject slightly, but my husband is also in the army. He's been in for 12 years and he is taking a bit of a change in his career which is meaning that he is away more often and often without much notice. I'm quite use to being at home on my own, he's been on a few deployments (6-7 months) and other exercises and courses for 2-12 weeks long. But it's so much harder when we are TTC. Because I need him to be home when I'm ovulating and we never know if he will be. I have this dreeded feeling that he'll be deployed again before we can conceive our first. Have you got any advice?

Big hugs! That's def hard. I would say just take it day by day. as much as you can whenever you can. It only takes that one time so anything is possible 😄 Actually the month we conceived dd1 was our one month between him coming back from a 1 month training class and him deploying for a year. Good luck

That can be true but not always 😄 I think like everything else it varies woman to woman.

I totally understand and sometimes I wonder If this is why me and my husband have had such bad luck! My husband is navy and he comes and goes a lot as well.... then on top of the underweighs and deployments he has duty every 6th day which means he has to stay the night on his ship to hold the fort down..... Its very inconvenient when ttc. I wish I could give you some advice but its frustrating for me as well.... I just keep reminding myself that hes getting out in a year and that helps me. Im not sure what your husbands plans are though.... always here if you ever need to vent though we have def been through our ups and downs with the military life!

 

[JenzyKY]

My BIL/SIL is going to D.C. with the military starting July 1st. Small world! haha

I've got an almost 3 year old but just started trying for a second. I've had my mirena out since September but I don't really think my hormones are normal yet STILL!!

Well my DH is probably being sent away with the army this month. He leaves on the 18th June and I'll probably ovulate on the 23rd. Feeling so frustrated.

 

[sarah2211]

Maybe we should start a military wives thread? Sorry I didn't mean to hijack your thread.

 

[bdb]

sarah I think that's a good idea.

 

[ProudArmyWife]

Aww Sarah that sucks 😞 Get some bd in the few days before he leaves you never know what might happen 😄 How long will he be gone for? Or do you not know? And I don't mind at all! Hijack away gives us something else to focus on
