Re: Poll....So do you....

  • He likes to know, so I tell him when I'm in my 'fertile period'.

  • No I don't.  For MH, the less he knows, the better. 
  • So, far I haven't known for sure that I was ovulating.  But, I think I would tell him if he asked.  He has been pretty involved in the whole process so far, so I could trust that he wouldn't run and hide if I did tell him. Either way it's up to you.

  • We have been tta and won't be ttc for a couple more weeks. But when I do O, no I will not tell him. (unless he asks then of course I will, otherwise Ill just keep it on the DL) I don't want it to be weird, which I have a feeling it would be for us.

  • I don't usually volunteer the information, but he will ask sometimes.

  • He knows. I may have to start keeping that information from him though...

  • Pounce!!! But some times he checks out my opk's so he knows its gettin close.

  • Some months yes, some months no...depends on how he's feeling.  He hates it when sex becomes a "that time of the month" chore, but sometimes he does ask when we get to have baby sex.
  • I usually tell him, but if he is gone to work he knows why I'm coming to see him. It's kind of weird that he tells his boss (which is weird since it is my uncle) and he gets off of work when I go and see him Wink

  • For the first couple of cycles, I just pounced.  But now he's getting more interested in the science of it, so I'm telling him more details. 

    Everybody's different, though.  Some women have mentioned their Hs having performance anxiety, which MH seems not to have.

  • I think I will tell my DH if I O at first, and if it seems like its too much pressure then I will lay off, but I think he really wants to be involved in the process

    TTC since 2010

    FET currently on hold

  • I tell him when my fertile time is, but usually pounce immediately after.Stick out tongue
  • I tell him, "I can have babies now" Smile
  • He usually has a vague idea of what's going on, as I'll give him the heads up a little bit ahead of time. This month he actually asked, "So, when's your pregnancy time this month?" haha

  • "MEOW...." Love it! I think I'll go the pouncing route! But I think it's super cute that some of your hubbys are so involved, especially the chart stalker hubby! CUTE!

  • He knows.  And we are aiming for EOD.  And we keep it funny, I refuse to make it all about a baby.  And he looks at my chart and sometimes gets confused.  Wait, he is sitting here and said "No I don't I just don't know what your abbreviations mean"  hahaha

    I've heard that too and I don't want him to feel like he has to or I'll be angry.  I've seen some posters [on other boards] get pissed and scream at their H.  Um yeah, that'd totally put me in the mood too.  NOT!  To each their own, but damn...

  • I tell him! He always asks how my temps are, so I assume he is interested in it all! If I ever to get to the point where I'm not spotting at 10dpo, I will keep him in the dark for the end of the 2ww, but for now he knows all, so he can comfort me!

  • I keep him up to date on it all.  I believe he is going through this just as much as I am.  He is actually the one who wakes me up every morning for my temps.  He normally ask how they are doing, :)!  I try to involve him as much as possible!

  • Eh....I think he's got it figured out, but I try not to let on that it's O time.
  • I pounce.  He doesn't know, he doesn't care.  He calls it "practicing."
