This thread is amazeballs. I love you guys and your dumb DHs!
When DH and I had the appointment with my OB last Friday, we discussed doing my ovary cancer screening ultrasound on CD13 or 15 (I couldn't do on CD14 because of work) so that we could also look at follies and measure the thickness of uterine lining, etc.
After we left the office I was talking about how I was excited to *hopefully* see the follicles during the US, and he had this blank look on his face. Turns out he was completely lost during the entire conversation, and had no idea what follicles are or what "cycle day" refers to. This isn't really funny except I ended up trying to explain the whole process to him as we were walking into Wal-Mart past a bunch of uber-offended elderly women.
@FLAshley - Haha, nope! He wasn't ovulating either.... haha
So, I have to mention it.What about the ever-so-classic " I just *know* you are pregnant this month! " on cycle # 30? No? Just my guy? *eyeroll*

I get that, along with, "Wow, you are so hungry for X, you must be pregnant!" or "Usually you don't get this annoyed about Y, you must be pregnant." Then when I get irritated, he'll say it's a joke.

@dragonfly87 That's my husband too. I told him that I'll be sad if it's a BFN when I test this weekend, and he just said "But babe, that just means more doing it!" Gee, thanks, mister but you're across an ocean so not exactly.
Me: 28 DH: 29 Married: 6/2016 TTC #1: 12/2016 Benched due to deployment- Off the bench 8/8/17!
When I got KU (ended in M/C) I decided to surprise DH with a Chicago Blackhawks onesie with the positive FRER underneath it. DH took the onesie out and was very confused. I told him to look at the stick. DH: There's only one line. Me: *pointing at the second line (it was pretty faint)* See there DH: Are you sure it's not supposed to be there as part of the normal test? It's not very dark Me: *sarcastically* Yes, of course dear, pregnancy test companies like to fake women out
These are hilarious!!!! My DH is actually really into learning about all things TTC. However, we were talking about SA and other testing and I had to explain to him that there are no "hot nurses" to help men...I'm pretty sure he was joking but still. Yikes.
we often have to DTD at 2:30am because that's when H gets home. So I get woken up in the middle of the night. And every time he climbs in bed, spreads his arms and legs out and says "Ravish me!" And cracks himself up.
Then last night he woke me up to "romantic" music before he got in the shower (we have never turned on music) then during bd he asked if I wanted to get a toy out. No dude! It's 2:30 am! I just want it to be done so I can go back to sleep!!
i think all of that was because two night prior, I had told him how he was lucky because he at least got something out of it each time!
I think the one that put me over the edge this cycle was "what does RE stand for again?" This after I drew a diagram to explain about how hormones impact BBT and the concerns I had with my hormone levels. Sigh.
In line with @dragonfly87 this morning I was wallowing/crying to my husband about another BFN and he goes, 'If you keep thinking negative and keep obsessing, your body wont get pregnant. You just have to relax'
OMG @kiwi2628 I would have thrown the heaviest item I could find at him!!!!! Sorry he's being a jerk, I think you should withhold sex from him for that comment lol

My DH usually just tells me I'm wrong about things....."normal lubricants don't affect ttc" "IUI and intercourse are the same thing so we don't need to spend money on an iui if the Dr. Suggests it" "you don't need to take all those vitamins, it's bad for you"........and my favorite is when we finish an appt. At the RE and we walk out and he says "so what's going on?".....my face is a textbook picture of "are you fu**ing kidding me?!?" I'm sure.
@Dinosaur hahahahahahahahahaha! That. Is. Amazing.
@kaitlink33 YES. My DH is the same way after leaving doctor appointments. At this point I'm like "how the hell do you not understand this yet???????????????"
@dragonfly87@FLAshley I have the opposite problem. My DH gets on me for being "too excited" and "ruining it" by talking about it too much. He said the same thing leading up to our wedding.
I've been trying to discuss hypothetical baby names with my husband for awhile now but more so recently as it gets closer to us actually TTC. He really wants nothing to do with the conversation though and says "i'm ruining it" by trying to come up with names and we should wait until i'm actually KU. I get what he is saying to an extent but A. I'm excited and B. I'm legitimately worried we will never agree on a name because we have VERY differing tastes. So something he has been doing when I bring up a name I like is to respond back with something ridiculous. His favorite is taking names from drug commericals such as "baby Xarelto".
@JJMNO1616 SO always respond to my baby name conversations with "If it's a boy I get to name him Omnomnom" (he doen't like my girl favorites). Alright dude. If you don't like my suggestions how about coming up with some of your own rather than deflecting. I do like Baby Xarelto though. It has a certain ring to it
I'm with all you ladies who's SOs think all you have to do is
HIO randomly. Hubby hasn't been interested in DTD last weekend, but I think I
likely ovulated around Saturday or Sunday. During the few days around O he kept
saying "It's fine. We'll just do it when I get back from my business trip."
That's fine sweetheart, I'll totally do you when you get back, but just FYI
by then Elvis will have left the building.
Also, whenever I tell him I’m in the mood he always says “You
just want me for my man juice.” Gross. I don’t know why but it’s just gross.

"I'm having fruit salad for dinner. Well, it's mostly just grapes, actually. Ok all grapes. Fermented grapes. Fine, I'm having wine for dinner."
@JJMNO1616@lizlann DH and I actually discussed baby names before we got married so we have names picked out already for either a boy or girl. It was actually fairly easy for us because in his family, they use the first names of the grandfathers for the first born. So we took our father's first names for a boy and his mother's first, my mother's middle for a girl.

@Lizlann This obviously isn't a SO statement but the other day I was half-heartedly discussing the IUI with my dad, and trying to explain how timing works, and he literally said "it's not rocket science honey, why don't you just have sex every day? All you have to do is lay there"
thanks for the advice dad and btw I feel bad for your wife now
@bluejeanbabi05 haha "All you have to do is lay there." I knew a woman in law school whose nickname was "starfish" because the two men she dated there said she just laid there like a starfish. It was really cruel (law school is basically just high school all over again) but when I read your post I immediately envisioned a dude humping a starfish and I spit out some of my coffee.

This just about made me spit my morning smoothie all over my desk. LOL
@LuND yep, the only reason I take him anymore is so he can drive (it's 2.5 hours away in the city and I DO NOT do city driving) other than that he's no use to me at the appt. Lol
@Lizlann I always tell DH he needs to give me his baby juice...lol..
*TW* @JJMNO1616 my DH doesn't like discussing it either, even when we were in the middle of an adoption of a baby-to-be he wouldn't discuss anything with me until about 2 days after birth and even then it was very half hearted and uninterested cuz he knew it probably wasn't going to happen...and it didnt.
@kaitlink33 That makes sense and I can completely understand why your husband would feel that way. I also get where my DH is coming from to an extent but I can't stop my BOTB problems.
@Lizlann@bluejeanbabi05 One time my husband was trying to HIO and I wasn't in the mood but I told him "you can slip it in but I'm just going to lay here". Lmao That didn't interest him but he got a laugh out of it.
DH and I have names all picked out. We both felt strongly about boy names. Once I realized he didn't have any ideas, let alone strong feelings, on girls names, I got him drunk and made a deal: He could have his boy's name if I got my girl's name. Compromise, achieved.

@Tennis11785 we have the same thing too...he gets to pick the girl name and I get to pick the boy name. I have no ideas at this time, however. Last night he said, "let's use the juice!" The what...? Oh...the Conceive Plus.
@jjmno1616 It took H & I YEARS but we actually have names picked out. I'm actually still on the fence about the boy's name But he hates everything I like and vice versa.

See! This is what I'm afraid of... especially because I hope we don't have years to figure it out. More like A year if all goes well.
Upon seeing the screen for my first vaginal ultrasound my DH said "are those aliens?"
No, honey, those are my ovaries.

Surprise! Unexpected BFP 2/22/17 just when we were about to start fertility treatment!
So this isn't so much something my H said, but rather what he did. I walked in the house after work last night to two random people sitting at my dining room table with H. Turns out, he had people come to give an estimate on how much it would cost to (re)finish our basement...
First, a heads up would've been nice. I mean, he mentioned wanting to do it, but I mentioned wanting to add a full bath to create a master suite. People can dream. Damn dude.
Second, I kindly pointed out to him that the number they quoted in their fancy piece of paper would pay for two kids through IVF...two.
Finally, we've discussed this before. We both LOVE this house, but only for children. If we can't have kids, wtf is the point of a 4 br house.

My best "positive" response:
I understand he is trying to be positive, but I am pretty sure "attitude" has nothing to do with getting knocked up....
So driving home tonight....discussing chores that needed to be done tonight...
Me: It's trash night
H: Right, anything else I need to do tonight?
Me (joking): Yea, feed me (I have been complaining about being hungry since we left work)
H: Did you say "seed you", is that a new term for sex?
Me: No, but we need to do that too tonight

esmegray -Same here... I was like "how do you explain all the teenage pregnancies that happen when 'it was just one time'".
@kiwi2628 -The first cycle there I had the long LP and BFN's, he kept telling me I was delaying AF by stressing so much. No. that's not how it works.

My DH usually just tells me I'm wrong about things....."normal lubricants don't affect ttc" "IUI and intercourse are the same thing so we don't need to spend money on an iui if the Dr. Suggests it" "you don't need to take all those vitamins, it's bad for you"........and my favorite is when we finish an appt. At the RE and we walk out and he says "so what's going on?".....my face is a textbook picture of "are you fu**ing kidding me?!?" I'm sure.
@kaitlink33 YES. My DH is the same way after leaving doctor appointments. At this point I'm like "how the hell do you not understand this yet???????????????"

I've been trying to discuss hypothetical baby names with my husband for awhile now but more so recently as it gets closer to us actually TTC. He really wants nothing to do with the conversation though and says "i'm ruining it" by trying to come up with names and we should wait until i'm actually KU. I get what he is saying to an extent but A. I'm excited and B. I'm legitimately worried we will never agree on a name because we have VERY differing tastes. So something he has been doing when I bring up a name I like is to respond back with something ridiculous. His favorite is taking names from drug commericals such as "baby Xarelto".
I'm with all you ladies who's SOs think all you have to do is HIO randomly. Hubby hasn't been interested in DTD last weekend, but I think I likely ovulated around Saturday or Sunday. During the few days around O he kept saying "It's fine. We'll just do it when I get back from my business trip." That's fine sweetheart, I'll totally do you when you get back, but just FYI by then Elvis will have left the building.
Also, whenever I tell him I’m in the mood he always says “You just want me for my man juice.” Gross. I don’t know why but it’s just gross.

@Lizlann I always tell DH he needs to give me his baby juice...lol..
*TW*
@JJMNO1616 my DH doesn't like discussing it either, even when we were in the middle of an adoption of a baby-to-be he wouldn't discuss anything with me until about 2 days after birth and even then it was very half hearted and uninterested cuz he knew it probably wasn't going to happen...and it didnt.
@Lizlann @bluejeanbabi05 One time my husband was trying to HIO and I wasn't in the mood but I told him "you can slip it in but I'm just going to lay here". Lmao

First, a heads up would've been nice. I mean, he mentioned wanting to do it, but I mentioned wanting to add a full bath to create a master suite. People can dream. Damn dude.
Second, I kindly pointed out to him that the number they quoted in their fancy piece of paper would pay for two kids through IVF...two.
Finally, we've discussed this before. We both LOVE this house, but only for children. If we can't have kids, wtf is the point of a 4 br house.
I swear sometimes...
