tell your friend(as an ex marine wife) we all know about those deployments! tel2ml her to keep sane, don't stress(esp if this is her first one!), and just send all the mail she can!!!

also, is it possible she ovulated early?

and, not to shoot her down for trying, but depending on the branch and his deployment return, she might be better off waiting till he returns! i mean that, as in, in case his deployment is extended(as the army and USMC LOOOOVE doing) he'd miss all the good stuff!!!

but in either case, i hope all goes well!!! she should wait till around the time her AF is due, then take an HPT!!!

thanks she is very hopeful.

It is possible, as some sperm can live in an 'ideal' environment for many days (I believe up to 7 days)....I'm not sure how common this is though......Best of luck to her.....
