DH would KILL me if I tested without him. Do you all test alone...without your DH present?



that is how my DH feels. he is very involved and wants to know when i know. we tested together the first time and will probably just test together next time around as well. i think surprising him would be fun but i think he'd be upset if we didn't find out together.



we tested every time together. i couldnt imagine testing without him!

I think I would just run up to him screaming and jumping up and down in excitement!

Ideally I would do something cute but I know that won't happen!

Re: How do you plan on telling DH (I know this has been done before)

Last time, I was in the middle of brushing my teeth when the line came up (POAS first, the started brushing). I took the test, and shoved it in his face while I was still brushing with the other hand.

If I do get a BFP this month-- I think I will first start testing next Tues. DH told me last night he needs to be out of town for the night, so I am thinking maybe getting DD a big sister shirt or something for her to wear when he gets home. This is only if the timing works out and I do in fact get a BFP this month.

Dh is with me all the way!! I have been testing alone! He is waiting for me to make the announcement to him.

I thought about wrapping it up and giving it to him as a gift...But this is the greatest gift I could give him!!!

I would probably scream from the rooftop that the whole friggen town would know I was Preggo!!!Chat Icon

DH was home sick, very sick 103 fever.

I came home from work and POAS. I got a very faint line. I went into the bedroom and showed him. He told me I was crazy that he didnt see a line.

I posted on here and showed him all of your responses. This convinced him somewhat so he told me if I WAS pregnant we couldnt sleep together since he was sick Chat Icon

Did not sink in until the digital the next day and then he was so happy.

Dh was at work and I happened to take a fluke test. When it came up with a faint positive, I had to take many more tests to make sure. I ran out and bought 2 sports onesies (for our favorite team), two bibs that said "I love my daddy" and a book called "Quarterback Dad." I put everything together in a shirt box and wrapped it. It was December 28th so I told him I forgot that I ordered him something for Christmas, so he had a gift when he got home. Of course he got stuck at work late, but the look on his face when he opened the box was priceless!!! I really wish I was able to capture his reaction on tape!

My cycle is so irregular that I end up testing every time - never know if I'm late or not. I don't want DH to think I'm crazy. He would just wait until CD35-40 before wanting to test. So, when I was pregnant last summer I knew and he wasn't even home. I told him when he got home. Our first pregnancy ended in m/c and our second was when we had our Chat Icon . The first time I went all out - got a baby Yankees onesies, an "I Love My Daddy" bib and cute lollipops with a blue and pink baby on them. The second I was too nervous and just told him. The third pregnancy (this past summer) I was too nervous again and just told him, it ended in a m/c. So, the next time, I won't do anything, just too scared. Chat Icon I hate that I can't have a fun way to tell him, but it's just so hard!

Re: How do you plan on telling DH (I know this has been done before)

We're not TTC yet but I've got baby fever HARDCORE so I often think about how I would tell DH when we do finally get preggo. He told me he wants to be there when I test but I told him "you got to do all the fun things for the engagement and make it a surprise, so just give me this" in which is agreed! He says we're a long way off from TTC (we need a house first) but I'm looking forward to when that happens and having the support of you girls to keep me focused!

Re: How do you plan on telling DH (I know this has been done before)

I wanted to tell him in this "special" way. But honestly, when I POAS at 5am, I just screamed up the stairs, "DHHHHH (but I used his real name) get down here right now!! Hurry!" and I met him 1/2 way up the stairs and shoved the test in his face. He wasn't sure what I was showing him, but once he realized, he was so happy! Then for some odd reason, he wanted to Chat Icon, but I told him no.
