DH and I have been ttc for nearly 2 years now, I’m 32. Had all the tests done at the Lister clinic (blood tests, HSG etc), all fine (in fact my tubes are apparently “textbook perfect” and DH has above average sperm).
DH is in the military and we only see each other for a couple of weekends a month. It’s so frustrating as we have no control over when we can DTT and I can’t tell you how many months have gone by where I have watched my fertile window come and go and he has just completely missed it!
That being said, we have DEFINITELY hit it a few times, I reckon probably 5 times for sure, and still nothing. Before we started TTC I think I was kidding myself that we probably DTT about once a fortnight so chances were still fairly high, but since I’ve started tracking it properly, I’ve realised it’s actually more like once a month if you consider that one of our two weekends a month will be an AF weekend...
Anyone else been through this? On the one hand I keep telling myself it’s because we’re not DTT enough or at the right times, but other times I think gosh it’s been 2 years it should have happened by now! I don’t know what to believe.
It’s so hard as I’ve started to make him feel bad about being away when I know rationally he has no control over that (plus I’d like to add I have never complained about it before and he’s been in for over 8 years!) The frustration is turning me into a crazy person!
Any military wife success stories would be most welcome!
