Help me please, I'm really worried. Recently I posted about feeling broody. I've discussed this quite a bit with my partner and while he doesn't feel the urge he's fine about my feelings but would like us to wait until we're in an even better financial position - if everything goes well with his qualifications he may be able to support me as a sahm within a couple of years and as we're still young this would suit our reproductive needs well.
However, I had what I thought was the start of my period a couple of days ago and as we use the withdrawal method I told him he didn't need to. My 'period' turned out to be spotting even though it was due. I'm now feeling sick, sensitive nipples and increased sense of smell. I'm not sure if I'm just working myself into a state as my period can be a bit iffy anyway but it's now two days late.
He knows that I understand the logic behind his argument and it's just my hormones kicking in. Ideally I would prefer not to have to return to work straight away. This is also a bad time for him to have this pressure as he's coming to his last few important exams and he's already really stressed.
I'm so worried that he'll resent me or maybe even think I tricked him into it. I really did think it was my period but now I'm even doubting myself!! I can't bring myself to POAS and I feel so sick.
