How the heck do you find the time to BD? Chris and I worked the same shift from almost the beginning of our relationship. For the last 3 months (since I started my new job) we now work opposite..

My schedule Chris schedule
up at 7am up at noon
leave at 8am leave at 2:45pm
home at 7pm home at 12:30am
bed at 10pm bed at 1:30am

as you can see.. we are literally never up and together at the same time. By the time he gets home I'm fast asleep and I'm impossible to wake up once I'm in bed, and he is a grouch if I wake him in the morning!

Any advice on how to fit in BDing?? We usually "do it" on the weekends.. but thats just not enough! Especially since I'll be doing another round of clomid so we will have to BD every other day!

hmmm. Thats a toughy. Matt and I work really opposite shifts.
Me Him
up at 4:30PM up at 8:30am
home at 8am home at 5pm
bed at 9am bed at midnight.


so we actually see eachother in the evening, and if i really want to bd I wake him up in the morning. Maybe have him wake you when he goes to bed?

Does he have to wake you up to bd? LOL. That's how my angel was conceived, it was middle of the night bd, and I didn't wake up until it was over!

Maybe you can stay awake until he gets home some nights? You'd still get 6 hrs sleep...which isnt that bad. Or you can go to bed and then wake up when he gets home.

My DH has ADHD, is on meds, works two jobs and decided to go Polyphasic a long time ago now (google it). So our schedules are:

Me Him
up at 7 am up at 11 pm (depends on bedtime)
chores start at 8 am leaves for work at 8-8:30 am
dinner at 6 home between 5:30-6 pm
bedtime at 10 or 11 asleep for three hours starting between 6-8

Anyhoo, we overlap around dinner time, so we bd before DH goes to sleep, and once in a while dtd after he wakes up but before my bedtime. He takes regular naps throughout the day.

lol unfortunately I punched him in the face one night in my sleep because of this.. (something happened when I was 15 so I get freaked out in my sleep now..)

I've tried everything from taking a nap when I get home from work to drinking coffee and trying to stay active.. I just cant stay awake most nights..

I work opposite shifts from my Dh but I only work two days a week. In my case I'm the evening shift worker and he is the day shift worker.

We either had to do it in the morning (and I'd have to get up earlier than normal instead of sleeping until 10:00 a.m.) OR we'd have to do it when I got home from work at 12:00 a.m. and Dh would just have to make sure he was awake enough by taking a nap in the evening before I got home.

I was lucky and usually I ended up Oing over the weekend on most cycles.

one of you is just going to have to wake up for sex! I can't believe he gets grumpy from that---DH would be on cloud 9 all day if I woke him up for sex (as long as he got to go back to bed when done )
