Trying to Get Pregnant
How would you tell DH??
Seems like there are a lot of BFPs today! Congrats to you ladies and enjoy this exciting time.
Now I want to know how you're going to tell your husbands - and for the rest of us in the 2ww, I know you're thinking about it too. Do you have something cute planned or would you just blurt it out?

Re: How would you tell DH??
blurt. I'm not creative at all. I'll just say something like, "YESSSSS!!! I'm KTFU!" He'll understand.

Preliminary labs/testing @ 6 months: TSH, A1c, progesterone, prolactin, SA, HSG all normal

It depends on when it happens. His birthday, as well as our dating anniverary are coming up in a couple months, so if that's the cycle we get our BFP, I'm gonna wrap it up like a present. If he's home when I take the test, I'll have him "watch" the results with me if he wants. If he's not, I'll probably just make a nice dinner or something and tell him some funny way. We always have wine, so maybe I'll say something like, "None for me, we're KU!"...but more sentimental. I might think of some other way in the meantime.
For family, if we get our BFP this cycle, we'll give them a Xmas card pic of us labelled as "J, C, & baby" or something like that. If it's after the Xmas telling window, I'll think of something else.
This -- he asked me not to take any tests unless he was there because he wants to find out at the same time as I do.

I think this is sweet!
My DH is very into tennis (has played since he was little and continues to play) so I got him a onesie (sp?) that says "Daddy's future tennis buddy" on it. Just waiting to give it to him!! Hopefully it will be this cycle but the BFN's the past few days are not encouraging
I bought a long sleeve tshirt hoodie ( that says "yes, im pregnant" across the chest( I always have on long sleeve t-shirts so it wont be abnormal to see me in one))
I am more curious how long it will take him to figure out what it says haha, and hoping i can keep it a secret long enough to see if he gets it haha.
if he is home and up ill probably give it away before i have time to change into the shirt wiht my big smile across my face ha time will tell
I am not good at the whole secret keeping thing. I am an open book to a fault. With our first, I shouted from the adjoining bathroom, "Um, honey... you're gonna be a daddy!" It was 5:30 am, and the man shot outta bed so fast with the biggest grin on his face!
I don't know what I am going to do this time. Probably something similar, seeing as I can't keep secrets and all.

I, too am an open book. In order to not blurt it out, I am making myself wait until he is at work to PIAC.
Plan is to take a pic of the digi & put it in a frame I bought a while back. It says "Mommy & Daddy, How sweet does that sound?". I also have a onesie that says "Daddy's Caddy in training" (He's a big golfer). I give him random presents all the time, so I guess I will go with the standard "I got you something". LOL
I plan on taking the test with him. With #1 I took the test all alone so I want him to be there this time.
Also... OMG love the sig and the name, Sookie!! I'm a huge TB fan and a huge fan of the books!! Did you watch last night?
When I was a teen, I saw this Full House episode where Becky made a dinner for Jesse, to announce her pregnancy, where the menu was all "baby" themed stuff (like baby back ribs, baby carrots, etc.), and she planned to get him to connect the dots. I remember deciding back then that, someday, when I was pregnant, I wanted to do that for my husband.
However, now I'm not 100% sure. I still like the idea, and it has a certain sentimental quality to me. But I'm not sure I'll be able to keep it from DH long enough to plan something out like that! I'm no good at lying to/keeping secrets from him. And we've been together nearly 14 years, so he can usually read me like a book with both eyes tied behind his back. I'm largely expecting him to notice right away that something's up, and I won't be able to play it off!

Ahhh Full House - that's awesome!
Thanks! I actually just started the books - I love the series so much that I waited so long to read them because I didn't want to be let down. Have the episode saved and we're going to watch it either tonight/tomorrow - heard it was craaazy!
For DS I got up at 4:00 to POAS, at 4:05 I got back in bed, cuddled up to him and said "um, honey..." He immediately rolled over and asked if I was pregnant. I'm trying to think of something clever for next time around. Maybe put DS in a "big brother" shirt and see how long it takes him to figure out.
I'm putting DS in a "big brother" shirt to tell our families, but not sure if that's how I want to tell DH.
When and If I get a BFP I have thought about buying a baby rattle and wrapping it in a small box. Then telling my DH that I have good news about work and I think we should go to diner. I will suggest Midori (this is where he proposed) and at dinner give him the gift. I know its cheesy but we got engaged there and so I figure he surprised me with that I should surprise him with this at the same place.
Double like! I think that's a great way to do it!
Us too, I wouldn't even think about doing it any other way.

I want to make a dinner of Baby Back Ribs, Baby Carrots, and Baby Corn. MH wants to be there when I test and I don't want to take that away from him, so since I don't EVER POAS (been let down too many times), I will save that dinner for when I am absolutely sure and if it's BFN, I know he'll get excited again the next time he sees that dinner (although I may change it up on him).
EDIT: Didn't notice that someone already mentioned that one.
I also like the laundry idea that someone else posted.
