On a scale of 1 to 10, how excited is your man to talk TTC with you?

Mine is about a 2. Haha. I have learned to keep him out of it.

Because it may involve a lot of sex, 10. If we talk strictly about the baby, 2. He definitely wants to conceive #2, just doesn't like to talk about all the feelings.

The performance anxiety thing is definitely an issue for my DH. We learned that the hard way. No more "I got a positive OPK, let's go!" Although these days my positive OPKs don't mean much... I've had several weeks of positives in a row...

calfherder · October 2015

10, he talks about it more than I do.

housewifehobbyist · October 2015

7 - He's totally comfortable talking about it if I bring it up, but he's not likely to bring it up himself.

MEA0320 · October 2015

Right now he's about a 7 to an 8.

marajay6 · October 2015

8. He reminds me to temp and asks me if I feel like I'm going to get my period. He also jokingly symptom spots me.

ShallowSeas · October 2015

10. I don't know that I would call it 'excited' to talk about it. More like 'interested'. He's in to anything science related so he likes that part of it. Yesterday evening I accidentally left an OPK sitting out on the bathroom counter. He walked in the bathroom as I was in the shower and was like, "um...is this an evap line or....?" and I was like, "aw, he knows what an evap line is" lol. Last night after we had sex I asked, TMI, if anything had leaked out and gotten on the sheets and he said, "No, it usually doesn't when its 'your week' for whatever reason", so I explained why that was and he thought it was neat. I love that I can talk about stuff like that with him and he doesn't get grossed out, but at the same time I don't think hes 'excited' to hear any of it, just interested.

PrettyPalomino · October 2015

8-9 if I keep it PG! He loves BD and wants a family.

1-2 if I discuss nitty gritty. He doesn't want to know about biology.

chanfa · October 2015

We just had a discussion about this and I think hes a 10. He even went to the library to borrow some pregnancy related books for me so that I can learn more!

vampirina · October 2015

He wavers. Some weeks he's a total 0 others a total 10! Average is probably 5 (haha). We're benched right now, so we haven't been talking about it as much lately. He's definitely excited to get back on the horse, so to speak, and start trying again and talks about that more often than I do. But he's also so chill about the whole thing "it'll happen when it happens" kinda thought process.

Before we got benched his expectations were so high "we'll conceive in a month or two!" and since we did, I think he thinks it'll happen right away again, so it's not something he needs to worry or talk about. I'm a little more doubtful that we'll be so lucky, so I think about it all the time.

riri111 · October 2015

2! Annoyingly he's in the lets first try to "relax and let it happen" camp because of the experiences of his sisters and other friends, all of whom firmly assert when they stopped trying it happened. But I'd say last week he was a 1, so progress, right? All the more reason I love this community.

Edit for typo.

britters314 · October 2015

9. I just started reading TCOYF and I'm curious if I'll be able to get him to read it - he likes to learn things, so maybe

This, exactly.

LadyMillil · October 2015

10

sarahmsoda · October 2015

4 - but to be honest I haven't really included him a lot, I just update him when I think I ovulated and when I see good CM etc. He got a SA which was a huge step so he is definitely engaged, just maybe not as emotionally as I had hoped.

JRB3 · October 2015

I'll say a 6. He is up to perform when I think it's time but I had to explain all these things to him to understand. He won't bring it up but he is usually DTF!!! Hello Jersey Shore!!!!

jsassy · October 2015

10

JournoGrl23 · October 2015

A 10 on the actually TTC portion. He finds that fun. But a 7 as far as talking about it because he's interested in the science part and wants to know when I'm in my FW. But he doesn't care to hear every temp spike unless I've actually ovulated.

PrimRoseMama · October 2015

I'd say about an 8? He likes to talk about sex and when we can have it.

As far as conception goes-- he wanted to be a doctor at some point in college (chose to do engineering instead) and so he's interested in the biology. However, he's of a mind that as long as we have no history that tertiary infertility isn't even in the game. Is that even a thing? Honestly I think our issue is timing and he's happy to fix that. Its just me that I am so sick right now and I really don't want him to get it. Like, seriously, y'all. I'M DYING. Strep, pink eye, allergies and some random cold all mashed together.

He's eager to talk about fertility and TTC in the general sense because science. However, we don't talk about it every week or anything. More along the lines as we approach the new year that we have to try to get more sex into the picture. Life keeps throwing us some serious curve balls though and sleep/rest/regeneration has been a priority over sex these days.

addyplusone · October 2015

I'd say a 6. He is interested about it, but bc we had DD while on the pill he doesn't get why it isn't that easy this time around. But he likes to learn about what I'm doing unless it's TMI CM talk. He doesnt get the temping part at all, but i think once my chart starts making sense, i think he will understand better. He's a 10 all the way for just the BD aspect.. freaking horn dog.

^^ this. But I would say about 6, not 7.

charmedlifex3 · October 2015

10. He bought a bunch of books, including "What to expect before you're expecting." - And read them. He also started taking a multi vitamin because "the baby book said I needed zinc."

born2run911 · October 2015

7

furbabymom2007 · October 2015

1.... But it's early in the process

DobbysSock · October 2015

Maybe a 2? He listens and engages when I talk about it but never really brings it up or asks too many follow up questions. I don't go too into detail about CM, etc. but he seemed mildly interested when I talked about temping

This one is for you! Get better! Pink eye ain't no joke!!

FloridaStanley · October 2015

He's a solid 7-8.

dixie7701 · October 2015

Mine is a pretty solid 8. He loves the science.

blackgirlmagic · October 2015

Mine is about 8-9. He is very interested in most things. He will even bring some things up on his own

noelietrex · October 2015

3. He allows me to talk about it, changes the subject pretty quickly though, and wants me to scale back our efforts. I've agreed to only temp next month, let BDing fall where it may, and only hang out on TB on my time/ at work (aka most of the day...). Now that I have all the info and learned that I hate OPKs anyway, this seems like a good plan. Temping and tempting him with EODish sex sounds like enough data and decent odds to me! Great compromising haha!

sboston06 · October 2015

I think he's around a 5. He doesn't bring it up unless I do, but he doesn't shy away from conversations about TTC.

jennifer0428 · October 2015

0 we don't talk about it.

mrsE2015 · October 2015

7-8. I keep it pretty PG. he is interested in the temping but I keep the CM and CP to myself.

CoonMom · October 2015

-3 lol! J/k ..He hates all the acronyms and the details. Honestly he's getting better, I'd say a 4 now.

Maydar · October 2015

He's an 8 for the science/facts, a 10 for talking about future baby stuff (especially things we'll need to buy some day - god, that man loves shopping), and about a 6 for the feelings because he hates problems that don't have an actual solution other than "just wait and keep trying."
