How much does your DH know?
How much does your DH know, pay attention to or care about in reference to the topic of TTC? Mine is clueless and nervous every time I bring it up, it's like he is a deer caught in headlights when I start talking about OPK's or anything TTC related.

Re: How much does your DH know?
I try to leave out the intricacies of my cycle, etc. to try and keep some of the romance in it. I think very clinically about things, and he is more romantic/sensitive, so I want to keep him out of the loop so that there is some magic in the process, KWIM?
I feel like if he thought how I thought (I am a tracker/planner/obsesser) than it would be entirely clinical and not romantic anymore. Let me worry about OPKs and whatnot.
He did come "into the loop" for a short time when I had my D&C, but now that that's over and I am back to a normal cycle, I will spare him some details.

Re: How much does your DH know?
He knows nothing ab OPK's and tracking but when I say it's our fertile time, he is so into the whole process. I guess he works better under pressure lol

Re: How much does your DH know?
DH went on amazon, researched OPK brands, bought them and had them gift wrapped for me when I came home from work! Lol. So yeah, he's totally in the know about that, my cycle, and putting pillows under me after sex. Part of this comes from the loss we experienced back in 2011. After that, he became really interested in TTC.

He now knows more since we are having trouble TTC. I have explained things to him but I don't think he wants to know the specifics. I gave him a crash course before our first RE appointment last week. He now knows a lot more but doesn't really bring too much up.

Re: How much does your DH know?
My DH knows and comes with me to my RE appts. He doesn't get the specifics all the time so I usually break it down in less clinical terms for him. It is easier for him to digest. We technically do not have anything "wrong " with either of us so it is unexplained infertility so that freaks him out a bit. I try to tell him things he needs to know when he needs to know. He doesn't usually bring it up.

Re: How much does your DH know?
I'd say he knows almost as much as I do. Especially after our chemical he has gotten pretty into this and wanting it to happen right away.

How much does your DH know?
My DH knows I do OPKs but I'm not sure he knows what it is exactly. I don't tell him much because he gets stressed out really easily and I don't want to do that. We both want a baby and that's all that matters right now...

Re: How much does your DH know?
He's sort of involved. He knows I test with an OPK and we have a certain window. He knows about the 2ww, but that's it. We aren't doing anything else though. He knows I track my cycle.
