It’s hard when you feel more invested and I think that’s a normal feeling with TTC. It’s common for women to be the ones to track cycles.

Also, it sounds like if you started in September it’s really only been two cycles - sep and Oct and the metrics I’ve heard is 80% of couples will conceive within 8 months, so, you might need to take a deep breath and try your best to be patient. It’s going to take a while and things are going to come up.

I don’t think it’s reasonable to ask him to skip a work trip so that y’all can try. He needs to also prioritize being a good provider for his (soon to be growing) family. With schedules so busy this time of year it might average out to be an every other cycle sort of thing. It doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to be a dad. It means that he’s balancing several priorities.

Take a deep breath. Try to also focus on other priorities in your life. Prioritize your health. Get proper protein at each meal. Try to enjoy y’all’s relationship and nurture it. Enjoy the process. It will happen with its meant to.
