My DH doesn't work inthe mines, but he is away with work ALOT. He's gone for maybe 2 weeks, then home for four or five days, then gone again.
This month I was lucky, because he was home on my Ovulation days, so we managed a lot of BDing in a short time!!!
AF is due in two days, and I'm realllllyyyy hoping it doesn't show up, because I know DH's schedule next month means he won't be home at the optimal time....
It's hard to have you partner away and not there to be sharing all the little special moments and hard times that this TTC journey provides. Isn't it?
Chin up sweetie, we can stick together.
Big hugs
H2B (getting married in 62 days) works in an open coal field in outback SA - and I live 5.5 hours south in Adelaide. Sometimes we can go entire months without seeing each other - hence making TTC extrememly difficult at times.
At the moment, especially with the wedding so close I've just relaxed on the whole TTC issue - at least until honeymoon
I'm going to transfer out to his town with my work - lucky they have a branch there after the wedding. That should help with the timing side of life - but it won't fix the low sperm count H2B has learn't he has. Until then I'm just having all my specialist appts etc, and getting acupuncture - anything to help increase the chances of a BFP in the near future.
Deni - are you following DH to and from work, or do you stay at ur normal residence when he's away?
My DH works 7on 7off (days and/or nights) and we can go a week without even seeing each other. So sometimes we can miss a whole 'window of opportunity' for the month. It can also make it really hard to schedule appointments, because it's not like he can just have a morning off to see the FS. Thankfully he has a boss who went through IVF too and it makes it easier to explain why he CAN'T do overtime etc.
When you think about it there are lots of jobs out there that need shift workers, and travelling etc, so i don't think we are alone. Keep smiling
