Not trying but disappointed by negative?

I am very very very not trying to have another baby right now. I have 2 kids in a 2 bedroom house and my youngest is only 7 months old and cosleeping out of necessity. She is ebf, won't take a bottle, and won't sleep without touching me.

I take pregnancy tests periodically because my period hasn't come back yet, and I took one this morning because I had a weird dream last night. It was of course negative, and now I'm feeling really down. I'm not 100% sure why though, and I feel like it must be that I'm disappointed by the negative. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes sort of. I miscarried when I didn’t want another child, and I was full of sadness.

It happens. Also, you’re sleep deprived too and BF-ing and newly postpartum. All of those can make your feelings very intense.

But honestly make him get snipped. the stress is so bad.
