Ok just to tell you that arthur, that replied to you is absoulty nuts. He has been posting things to people all over the forums, I think he is taking the piss out of everybodies problems so ignore any posts from him. Just feel sorry for him because to make little of other people's problems is pretty bad but its says alot about the problems he has, I feel so sorry for him, he needs more help then us.

Wow am I glad I live in canada..No chance my fiance could be shipped off, even if he was in the army.

If you are pregnant, maybe they would let him come home early? I don't really know what the us army is like but maybe they would make a special allowance for you?

Good luck

i am sorry you are bummed. Anyway, I thought your blood tests came back negative? Are you still feeling pregnant? If so, I would check back in with the doctor to make sure there is nothing else wrong. All in all, it is probably just stress related.

You Will Make It Through!
Im sorry for whats going on. Please pray! I know its easy said that if u pray your not alone and you will feel better but just talk to god and let him know you are hurting. He already knows but he likes to know you believe he is there. If your pregnant thats great! You will always have a physical piece of him to hold on to while he is away. If not you still have each others love for one another. If you ever need any one to talk to im here! I know how it feels my sister was in the army and I was scared every day for her. But thats your life partner so I know its different. :?

I am so sorry. I didnt catch if you were pregnant or not but if you are maybe they will let him come home early. My best friends grandfather died several months ago and they let him come home for two weeks I mean that was better than nothing you know. I think that they would let him come home early for this situation and maybe he would get longer.


I am so greatful for everything that our men and woman have done for us over there. Well fighting in general. I dont even know you all but I love you and am truly greatful. God bless you and he will be home soon to you
