so here's my story. i am married and have a beautiful seven month old daughter. my husband is in the navy but he only has less than a year left. we use the withdrawal method (which he is quite controlled at) and have been using it since we could have post partum sex. ive done a lot of research on withdrawal and i read that after having sex the man is supposed to pee to kill the leftover sperm before having sex again. my husband does that every so often but not usually. we are okay with having another child but arent taking the steps to actively try although i know that our chances are a lot higher since we dont do the withdrawal method "perfectly". anyway, my period was supposed to start yesterday but i only got a couple drops of brown blood. ive had cramping as well and i took a test this afternoon that was negative. the thing is, part of me really wants a baby. so i find myself hoping that i'll get a bfp but in reality i know that i'll have to take care of the babies most all of the time because my husband is away so much. when he gets closer to getting out of the navy (and if i dont get pregnant) we are planning on using birth control but for now we are okay with the way things are. i just need support because i dont really have anyone other than my husband to talk to about this.
