TTC with partner who works away

Hi everyone

First post here since starting TTC
So to start I’ll introduce myself, I’ve just turned 33 and partner is 34, trying for our first.

I came off the pill at the start of the year and my first period came in cd 27 so hoping will stay regular from here.

Ive decided not to track ovulation properly to start with as feel like I don’t want to get obsessed and stress myself out but I am using the flo app.

The one thing that worries me slightly is my partner works away (4 days on, 4 days off) and according to flo this month my fertile days were right when he was away. With him being away this much we usually dtd most days he’s home but it’s a slight worry that my fertile window will always land when he’s away.

Anyone else TTC with a partner who works away? Would love to meet people in the same boat as me or just anyone new to ttc and we can keep eachother company along the way 🙂

Would also love to hear success stories from people with partners working away!

All you can do is do it when you can. Try and have sex the day that he goes away as that should last a couple of days.
I think you’re right about not tracking your fertility, it will just cause stress, and that’s the last thing you need.
