I'm Currently Feeling:  | Ear Clues
Hey girls,
I'm hoping one of you could perhaps shed some light on the following...
My OH has this really wierd 'party trick' (not that I'd ever want him to do this at a party mind!). In fact, it's not just wierd, it's downright freaky - and I have no idea how he does it. In fact, I feel like a bit of a div for mentioning it to you all, but I'm now pretty desperate to discover his secret!
So, the thing is, he can tell if I'm on my period by looking at my left earlobe. and it's not just me, it's any woman.
There, I said it. See? Told you it was freaky. And the thing is, he has never, ever been wrong. Before we got together we were really good friends, and he used to embarrass me half to death by telling me he knew I was on!! He - being like most men - hasn't got a clue about by cycle length or anything, so it's not like he's kept track of when I should get my period.... it's totally odd and I can't figure it out.
Anyway, so earlier today he said to me those immortal line "You've come on haven't you?" "Ha! No I bloody well haven't!" I replied, smug grin on my face, "wrong at last!" He frowned, and then said "Well in that case honey, you're pregnant." I had a chemical pregnancy 4 years ago, and this exact same thing happened then, almost word for word....
The thing is, I'm only on CD19 - ages from testing, and I don't 'feel' pregnant like I did when I was briefly.... but OH hasn't been wrong about this before. Grrr, it's really annoying me - anyone got any ideas how he does it??? | | | | Status: Offline
