My husband works away a lot!! It looks like in the next 5 months we will be together only once at the right time. Therefore if you had just one go at TTC what would you do to maximise your chances?

Preseed?

Read Tony Weschler! Her book, which will lead to charting. So you can be sure when you’re ovulating.

Maybe you’re doing that already?

Evening Primrose Oil up until Ovulation,
Drink grapefruit juice around ovulation,
Perhaps a little Red Clover and Raspberry Leaf Tea up until ovulation too,
Preseed/Conceive Plus,
BD as often as possible during your time together,
I favour doggy position for deep penetration and depositing of sperm closer to the cervix,
Pillow under bum and legs in the air for 10-15 mins after sex,
If possible orgasm after your partner - the contractions help draw up the sperm (worked for me with my last 2 pregnancies),
Consider taking a Baby Aspirin,
Eat as healthily as possible - low sugar, low processed food, healthy fats, plenty of protein,
Lots of fluids,
Pre-Conception Vitamin,
Ubiquinol/Co-Q10, Myo-Inositol, N-Acetyl Cysteine, extra Vit C, Magnesium, D3, Omega 3 Oil, Ashwaghanda, Vitex/Agnus Castus and Evening Primrose Oil are all extras that I personally use in an attempt to cover all bases, but these are optional.

Most importantly.. have fun! Xxxx

@Happygolucky12 I am on cycle 6 as my dh works offshore and this next month is the first time he's going to be home around my fertile dates I use clear blue opks I really like them

Good luck x

Another couple of things I thought of is reducing your caffeine (if you drink it) and adding some nourishing herbal teas that have purported fertility benefits. I drink a lot of Nettle Tea (my top recommendation, along with Raspberry Leaf Tea and Red Clover Tea, both only up to ovulation) and I drink a cup of Dandelion Tea and Cinnamon Tea a day too. Xxx

@Happygolucky12 I just wanted to give you a dose of positivity!

DP lives/works away alot so we only spend perhaps 2 weekends a month together maximum right now with the chance of ovulation on these 4 days a month tiny. However.....I have been tracking bbt, OPKs, cm and it just so happened I peaked on a Friday night Opk we were together. DTD on the Friday (had not DTD for weeks so thought sperm quality was likely poor and not hopeful) and then DTD again on the Sunday. To our amazement, BFP two weeks later! So it can happen, even if you aren't together alot, with some luck and some planning a BFP is definetely possible!
Fx for you.
