I mean its 2 weeks when my honey comes home before he leaves to finish his deployment... and today i was given his actual dates of being home... may 16th-june 1st.

currently that month is looking like my fertile window is may 4-9 or may 31-june 5....

so theres a slim chance towards the end but none at the beginning...

damnit

Try not to stress... have you thought about going on clomid before he came? I know it's probably not super safe if you O regularly, etc. but a friend of mine was in the same situation and somehow got clomid... I am not even sure if it was from her doctor... I am military and understand the stress of timing... trust me. Maybe if you stress your O will be late and it will be pushed back just enough

it may be the one time when losing my job *may* come in handy. I lose it as of may 22nd... which is halfway through his time home.

Can I add that I would NEVER advocate going on Clomid without talking to your doctor... but some doctors might recommend it if they know your situation and have done your blood work/cycle history, etc.
Good luck... If it makes you feel better, my best friend thought her hubby would miss her Oing time and he got there the DAY before she od and now has a beautiful baby

I will avoid clomid at all costs as i know i'm healthy in that area... we've been ttc for over a year BUT we've only had 4 chances, which statistically speaking means if it happens to time out right this time it should be our lucky time!

clomid can mess you up too much if you're healthily ovulating, from what i read. i have looked into progesterone cream and b6 though

I am kind of on a similar situation at first we were waiting to TTC untill we could be together full time, but decided to give it a try in my Dhs next visit in may, I will be happy if it happens but won't be overly dissapointed if it doesn't, it's really bad timing living in different countries and all but we want a baby so why not.

Got my B6 and progesterone cream today... great timing as i'm fairly certain i o'ed yesterday...

hoping it can prolong my luteal phase long enough that next month is right on time!
