My DH works away on the mines too, same FIFO roster. Not as far away as your DH anymore, but it's impossible to go to see him as i dont drive and have 2 littlies in tow. He has been on the mines for six years now and the roster has varied between 4/1 , 3/1 and 2/1 . It was really hard TTC as he was away 85% of the time! We did manage by sheer luck to concieve on several occasions, My first boy, we concieved the day he was due to fly back lol DH never complained much though cos if it was O time and he was coming home he would walk through the door and i would pounce on him LOL sorry tmi!! My second child would not have been concieved had DH's car not broke down the day before leaving to go back, but he did and an extra 3 days home was just enough time to get UTD again

It is def harder with kids, for lots of reasons, especially when TTC cos you cant just do it there and then when the time is right, they are just way to nosey lol Also i have to keep a happy face for the kids which is really hard as the sob and bawl when he leaves it breaks my heart.

I def know what your going through and if you ever need a chat PM me If you do you will sometimes have too excuse my babble, i live in a smallish town and hardly socialise with other 'adults' so after days and days on end of chatting to a 3.5yr old and a 2yr old i crave adult conversation lol

Hope you will be ok tomorrow, be strong and try to be positive regarding the TTC. I will be thinking of you.



P.S. Limeslice My DH will be back tomorrow morning, coming off of night shift too! Just thought i'd say that
