Disappointed

Me and my husband both agreed to try for a baby in two years time, as we are both focusing on our careers. Last month we had unprotected sex, which led me think that I can get pregnant from it. We talked about it, and we both decided if it happens, it happens. And yet, I am looking at a negative test result and feeling disappointed instead of feeling chuffed. Is that normal? Was I emotionally prepared to be a mother already? I can't help but thinking, what if we can't have babies? Women have less chance to get pregnant as they get older. But we are not ready for a baby, I have high hopes for my career, I don't have time for a baby right now. I am so confused and don't know what to think. Part of me is screaming"I want a little one now!!!"

My partner and i had also discussed the topic of a baby and we decided it was the right time for us now.. and to be completely honest i felt the same when i found out i WAS pregnant, when that little line said positive, i thought oh no what have i done?!!!! i think its your typical 'grass is greener' analagy, dont panic, if it happens it happens, if you wait until youve got everything perfect you'll never get round to it. Can my partner and i afford a child?are we completey settled in our own house? no, but we decided it was the right time together. Have you spoken to your husband about how he feels?
