Advice please ladies - husband going to Afghan
Hello.
I don't often post on here - more of a lurker than a poster but I am in need of some advice and was hoping you lovely ladies could help me.
My husband and I have been TTC for 4 months now, as yet unsuccessfully, but we are desperate for a little one of our own. I have a history of difficulties relating to my cycle and ovulating so we are preparing ourselves for a bit of a long run, although I have invested in a CBFM to use next month .
Anyway, the point of this post is that my husband will going to Afghan for 6 months any time from June onwards. He is not in the army and this trip is "optional" but it is very important for his career, and the money he would get would mean would could buy our first house and that I could easily take 12 months maternity, if not more if we wanted it. I support his decision to go but I was thinking today, what if i fall pregnant before he leaves?
Obviously he would not go away if during his time if Afghan the baby would be due, but it's quite likely (fingers crossed) that he may be away whilst I am pregnant, He would go for 3 months, then come back for a month, then return for another 2/3 months,
This being our first child, I have no idea what to expect in pregnancy. Would I be insane to consider going through pregnancy without him here???
Any advice is welcome please! He's away at the min and I'm home alone thinking these things over and over!!

Thanks for replying. I like you am currently obsessed with TTC so the idea of taking 8 months off just isn't viable - I would go insane!
I guess we should just carry on as normal and see what happens really.
Unfortunately he;s away at the minute for a month and I don't have phone contact so will have to wait for him to return before we can discuss it properly

I agree I think I would miss sharing the experience with him but long term I suppose it would be worth it. My family don't live near me but hubby's mum lives up the road and we're close, and my good friend lives next door so I would have support nearby.
As for hormones - I am bad enough with PMT so god knows what I'll be like
Good luck TTC x
