Hi Natalie,

It will all depend on when you actually ovulate, which unfortunately you won't know until the day before using an OPK or the day after when your temperature spikes.  The sperm will live for up the 3 days in your body...  Looking at the dates you give in your original post, you may be fine - you may not ovulate until your husband comes home!

I just finished my 4th month of Clomid... my first cycle I didn't O, my second and third cycle I O'd on CD 16 and CD 17 respectively, and my fourth cycle I bumped up to 150 mg and didn't O until CD 20.

Good luck!!!

TTC #1 Since August 2007

Off BCP at end of July 2007

August 2007 - May 2008 - TTC the old fashioned way!

June 2008 - September 2008 - Charting on my own, no O'ing

September 2008 - Dr appt with regular ob/gyn

October 2008 - January 2009 - Charting for doctor, first SA done with questionable results.  Referred DH to urologist due to semi-low motility.  Urologist did 2 more SA, results kept getting worse, did b/w with good results.  Urologist said SA numbers were probably bad due to stress.

February 2009 - waiting for next cycle to start Clomid

March 2009 (Cycle 20) - 100 mg Clomid - no O

April 2009 (Cycle 21) - 100 mg Clomid - O, BFN

May 2009 (Cycle 22) - 100 mg Clomid - O, BFN

June 2009 (Cycle 23) - 150 mg Clomid - Late O, BFN

July 6, 2009 - Initial consultation scheduled with RE

Oh, I hate when timing is not on your side! I had to travel for work during O once last year and it really ticked me off.

This is my 1st round of Clomid also. I have read that you will O 5-10 days after your last dose. Generally it is said that sperm can live up to 5 days in good CM but I think the average is more like 2 or 3. Don't give up hope! GL!

Natalie--

Wishing you much luck with TTC... You could if you wanted to, to skip this month of Clomid so this way you can have better timing when DH is home.. I did this once.. just an idea.

I know its frustrating the timing and how it doesnt work out sometimes (we have been trying for 5 years, so i have been there too)

If you decide to go for it... i would BD on the 8th and the 9th.. and immediately attack DH on the 13th, lol. Sperm can live up to 5 days in good cervical fluid.

Yes i hate it so much my hubbie will not be home by the time i expect to O. I wanted to give up on my 1st cycle at first but I'm praying to God that it will go on our first try. Been struggling so much with my infertility issues and its even worse when the gyno said nothing is wrong. will keep u posted

XoXo,

I guess i feel better now seeing that I'm not alone. I just hope I can get pg on one of the first 4 trials. i was about to give up on clomid at 1st when i heard my hubbie will be away for a few days but as i already started my 1st day i decided to go for it anyway. Let's just hope for the best. Good luck to you too.  I think that God still answers prayers.

XoXo,
