The era of nucleosynthesis came to an end about 5 minutes after the big bang, which is when it was discovered what the universe's fundamental chemical make-up was.
A few minutes later, the cosmos got too cold, and nucleosynthesis ceased. Since nucleosynthesis was no longer possible, the deuterium that was still there at that time just remained deuterium. It had not yet fused into any heavier nuclei.
