How much does your husband/partner know?


How much do they know, or rather how far to they think you're involved in this TTC stuff?

For example;

-Does he(or she for the same sex couples) know you use BnB?
-Use Ov sticks?
-Know you POAS as often as you do?
-Know you have a collection of tests all ready and waiting?
-Know you check your CM?
-Know you temp?
-Know you symptom spot as much as you do?

For me, Im pretty sure he knows I use BnB but I think he assumes I use it for the parenting side of it, rather than the TTC side. I dont use Ov strips so thats neither here nor there, but he doesnt know that Ive had a stock of IC's in the past, and how Im a bit of a POAS addict! I dont check my CM or temp but if I did, he wouldnt know about it!

How much does your husband or partner know?

My OH pretty much knows everything now lol. When he found out I was coming on BnB he got very interested in everything because I was so excited to find out so much new stuff to do with TTC lol. I even creeped him out by telling him I checked CM and CP hahaha. He knows I temp because my alarm goes off every morning at 7am even on weekends/holidays. He knows how much I test because I tell him everytime I do one... which is quite a reasonable amount IMO lol. And he knows I use OPK's because I told him I'd bought them lol. I tell him pretty much everything. The only thing he doesn't know is how much I obsess about it all in my head XD I keep that to myself for his sanity rather than mine haha.

XxX

Great thread! Looking forward to seeing all the answers

-Does he know you use BnB? Yes, but doesn't know quite how much time I spend on here.
-Use Ov sticks? Yeap!
-Know you POAS as often as you do? No, see next answer...
-Know you have a collection of tests all ready and waiting? Yes, but not the full truth, expecially my HPT collection! See my 'Confessions of a POASoholic' thread!
-Know you check your CM? Kinda, don't think he really understands and to what extent though.
-Know you temp? Yes, defo, I think the beeping wakes him up every morning
-Know you symptom spot as much as you do? No way! That's for my BnB buddies only

He is pretty clued up but honestly I think it can be a bit much for some guys and 'TMI'! One month I went into quite a bit of detail and it had an effect on the BDing so I have learnt to put a bit of mystery back into it if you know what I mean?

Hope x

My OH knows everything about me, he even has a BNB account ! He researches what's good and bad for TTC and he is willing to try all kinds in order to get us that BFP ! he puts the pillow under my bottom after BD and even sticks his legs up in the air with me so it seems normal ! hehehe

I am very lucky that we are so open with each other!

This is soooo cute!


Brilliant thread, here's my answers:

Does he(or she for the same sex couples) know you use BnB?
Yes, but I don't let him see, and he doesn't know how much
-Use Ov sticks?
Yes, but not how many LOL! I also don't tell him when I do them anymore or when they're positive because it affects his 'performance'!
-Know you POAS as often as you do?
No way! I usually POAS when he's gone to work!
-Know you have a collection of tests all ready and waiting?
He knows I have a little bag in the cupboard (ok big bag!) but he doesn't know how many there are!
-Know you check your CM?
No way!
-Know you temp?
yep cos I do it in bed in the morning, sometimes I make him take his BBT too!!
-Know you symptom spot as much as you do?
Nope, I don't want to get his hopes up, plus I think my 'symptoms' are mainly in my head!

I'm going to start using soft cups this cycle so not sure how I'm going to sneak that in after BD without him noticing LOL!
