TTC when husband works offshore

[harriet465]

Does anyone have experience of this? Have you managed to change your cycle, is it worth talking to the doctor?
Please advise

I know I’ll sound nuts, but could you look into freezing his sperm at home, to use in case he’s not around when you’re ovulating

My partner works offshore. We just had sex every other day in the weeks he was home.
Some months we did miss ovulation but we knew going in to our TTC journey that it could take longer with him working away.

Our first took us 2 years to conceive and I’m currently pregnant with my second which took 5 months.

There isn’t really anything you can do because it’s just chance if he’ll be home or not. It’s just a case really of trying to be realistic in that it may take longer (although it definitely may not so still try stay positive!) and just have regular sex when he is home to increase your chances
