I want a baby

Not to rant, but I really want to get this off my chest. As the title says, I want to get pregnant and have a baby, but my husband talked me out of it. I agree with everything he said. He is very logical. But the feeling of wanting a baby just won't go away.

So we had sex on my fertile window, and I noticed the kind of discharge that made me feel excited about the possibility of conceiving. I told my husband how I felt, but we decided that it's still not the right time and that I should take emergency contraception. So I did. I took the morning-after pill to avoid conceiving. I'm just really sad right now. I agree with my husband’s logic, and I don’t want to guilt-trip him by bringing this up repeatedly ☹️

ETA: To everyone asking, we are both not in our home country. We don't have family around to support us as first-time parents. And while we are both earning well, I am currently in a fixed term contract. We feel that getting pregnant before I secure a permanent position wouldn't be the best idea.

Please be kind to us. I just posted here to get it off my chest. I'm really sad and I know my husband doesn't want me to be sad either. He's so precious. Please don't judge him negatively. Maybe I'm just having a baby fever.

I am 32. And we've been in LDR until less than a year ago.

So yes, I understand how and why he's not panicking about it. I hope redditors will avoid jumping to conclusions

hindi naman ako madamot at hindi rin ako namomroblema sa pera, pero p*taena kapag nalalaman kong nagreregalo or nanlilibre nanay ko gamit yung perang ibinibigay ko sa kanya, naiiyamot ako

okay lang naman mag-astang mayaman kahit walang sariling income, pero yung alam mong galing sa sweldo ng anak mo yung ipinambibili mo para sa ibang tao tapos indifferent ka pa sa presyo ng binibili mo para sa ibang tao gamit ang card ng anak mo, nakakaiyamot talagaaa

juskoooo wala naman ako utang na loob sa mga yan, bakit pati sila makikinabang sa pera ko?

oo, barya lang yan compared sa kinikita ko, pero is that reason enough para hindi man lang mag think twice bago gamitin sa iba ang pera ko? parang wala man lang konsiderasyon and that's the part that hurts
