Anyone have a DH who works nights???(yes, this is TTC related)

My DH works 3 nights out of the week so there are basically 3 days when we only see each other for very brief periods(and when DD is always awake)...so anyway...that means if my peak fertility days fall on any of those 3 days every week, we cant BD...does anyone else have this problem? What do you do? Im going to start using the CBEF next month and this is going to make it very difficult to BD on the peak days....

We would actually wake each other to BD. Not very romantic.

this is us. He works all the time, I have my 2 year old, plus another that I watch.

its quickie central in my home.

at times I set my alarm for 2:30 AM to wake up when he gets home...then my kid also sleeps in our room...so its quickies on my closet floor! (my closet has a lock on door...)

at naptime, while DH is getting ready for work, its shower sex.

We have the same problem just reversed. I work nights and he works days. This was our first month ttc and my most fertile week we barely saw each other. Hopefully our schedule will work out better next month during my fertile week.

My DH works nights and we just try to adjust, I come home for "lunch", he wakes me up when he comes home. And on his nights off we do our best to "go to bed together". We have a 7yr old DD and she is up sometimes when need to BD. But I try to plan ahead, either by putting her to bed early or late, depending on what works for our schedule. Good Luck, it is hard, but we manage to find time.

Well my DH does not work nights but I do. I work 3 - 12 hour overnights in a row on a regular week. We try as best we can before work and after work. Sometimes it is hard but we manage

My DH travels ALOT for work. It's practically impossible for me to tell him the days that he needs to be home months in advance. Hence, why it's taking so long for us to have #2.
My DD just stopped napping too, so it's been even harder for us to find the time, energy, and opportunity lately.

Good luck to you. The CBEFM has definitely helped me figure things out.

My husband works nights but I'm a late night owl, as you can see with this post, so it works for us. Were are not trying to conceive just yet, but when we do I know I'll be doing 85% of the adjusting.

Hang in there you'll find out what works for you guys.
