Re: Should you tell DH when you are ovulating? W/ Poll

DH knows about when I'll be O'ing, but I haven't told him when I get the +, we'll see as time goes on if that changes

Re: Should you tell DH when you are ovulating? W/ Poll

I started to tell DH about it and then noticed it had some sort of subconscious affect on him. So I decided not to this time. I'm supposed to O this week and will not be sharing that with the DH. We'll see how it goes. It'll be great to just say "Oh, btw ..we're pregnant" and he'll be totally blown away! Cross those fingers :)

Best of luck to all of us!

Re: Should you tell DH when you are ovulating? W/ Poll

Funny this should come up. Once my husband told me he was ready we just started. We haven't really sat down and talked about the process (I mean we all know the process, but the stuff that goes into the process). As of right now, he doesn't really know my O schedule. I think tonight I will bring up the subject with him and find out how much he wants to be in on. I would of course LOVE him to be in on more than just the making part, but he stresses out a lot over the small stuff and it makes me stress out which isn't good for me or trying to get PG.

I say you just talk to you husband about the whole situation and see what he says. Maybe he just doesn't want to know when you O, but wants to be in on everything else. Also, what would you do if it were anything else in your life? Would you tell him or keep it from him?

Re: Should you tell DH when you are ovulating? W/ Poll

In the beginning I would but now that we've been trying for well over a year, I've stopped.

I just want our BD to be as normal as possible - it makes me obsess over everything just a wee tad less.

I know when we "have" to do it and when we don't and I prefer it that way.

I'm trying my best to not make this process too much of a chore.

I have no choice- DH travels a lot for work so I kind of give him advance notice so we can plan his trips around it.

I told him. I let him share in every moment of the whole experience..the waiting, the testing, the ovulating....everything.
I know some people disagree with that, and think the woman should know everything, and only let the man in on certain things...but I totally disagree. We were trying to have a baby together - it wasn't me trying and him going along for the ride (pun intended). If he is grown up enough to make a baby - he's grown up enough to know all of the details about how it happens.

Totally agree with Lori!

i tell him because if i don't thats the night he will fall asleep on the couch or have a bad headache and not want to do anything but if i say its time he's ready no matter what!

But also with this too!

Sorry if I'm being thick here, but for the girls that said TTC is 'pressure' on the guy, or he doesn't 'perform well' what do you mean exactly? You only have a 25% chance of getting pregnant every cycle, but as long as his sperm count is good and he ejaculates, pressure or performance has little to do with it...

Of course, we have a common goal.
