    DH travels for work. Opinions please.

    So, my DH works out of town and is home a weekend at a time every 2-3 weeks. When we were TTC our 3rd we were very lucky that ovulated on a weekend that he was home and it happened to be our first month TTC. We are in the 2ww of our 2nd month TTC for #4. I am pretty positive it didn't happen this month since he left on the first and I ovulated on the 5th. He will be coming home the day that af is due and then 2 weeks later. He will be leaving that Monday and I should be ovulating the next day based on my previous cycles. If I don't get pregnant this cycle we will be taking 4 or 5 months off and then trying again when we are all living together again. That being said I would REALLY like to get pregnant this month. *fingers crossed* I am following the LE diet...or trying my best anyway. I have lost 4lbs so I'm taking that as a good sign. I am skipping breakfast, drinking crystal light and peppermint tea, taking FA and using RePhresh.

    So here are my questions. DH will be getting home on Friday evening and leaving Monday afternoon. I am set to ovulate on Tuesday. Do you rec using RePhresh a few hours before we dtd? I am also curious to hear your opinions on FR or abstaining given our situation. If we decide FR then he will *ahem* take care of that while he is on his own. Since we will have been apart for 2 weeks when he comes home I would say that abstaining will be impossible for him.

    Thank you all so much for your thoughts and opinions! I am so thankful that I found this site!

    I'm still learning here, but if I was in that situation I'd probably do a compressed frequent release, only use the Rephresh a day before and get in more than one attempt. Hopefully the ladies who have been here longer and Atomic will be able to give you better advice. Good luck though!

    I'm bumping this post because I would really like some more opinions even though what boymaker said seems like a great idea!
