When do you tell dh and how?

[SugaryIris]

Morning ladies, this morning got me thinking, most of us are poas addicts, do you tell your oh every time you are going to poas? If you get a whisp of a line? A faint line? Or would you wait until you have your definite bfp? Would you then do some big announcement or gesture?

Personally, I need someone to discuss any whisp with so I mention it to OH straight away lol!

My husband used to ask me, my answer was idk if I had a faint line and he could never see it. So showed him when there was an obvious line lol.

 

[holli]

I never told my oh he would of gone mad at the amount of money I spent on tests even when I got my bfp I was still buying them checking they was still positive lol xx
Any tests you take out pics on here is girls love a good line spot xx

I used to show him...and of course there was nothing to look at. I don't show him anymore, instead I post everything here hehehe plenty of ladies to share it with and at least here, there are people who know what 'line eyes' are! I'll only share it with him if a digi says "pregnant". I don't want him also, like Holli said, to know how much I spend on OPKs and HCG tests....

 

[PeanutButter]

Haha, my hubby said I was spending too much on them. Then instated buying xheapies but they were poop so bought pound ones from home bargains and didn't tell him lol

I didnt tell my DH how many tests id used either haha! He always said no point testing till period was late.....of course not dear!....not!! I told him i only had one so when i got my bfp 2 days ago he insisted on getting another test to confirm it. I will no doubt buy another cb digi to confirm 2-3 and 3+ weeks x

I also don’t tell him all of it lol he thinks I only buy once a month if he knew he would think I am mental lol I started buying a superdrug brand so at least it’s not as expensive

 

[MoominGirl]

I don't test early but if I did I don't think I'd show him and just post on here haha. I'm a bit of an all or nothing kinda girl so I'd only test if I was really late so it's more likely to be a clear line. My cycles are so regular there's no point in me testing early anyway.

 

[honeygirl]

I also didn't tell my boyfriend how much I spent...just hope he doesn't notice those pharmacy charges on our bank account. I will wait until I get a positive on a digi so we can be really sure. Until then, I'll also just post on here

 

[SugaryIris]

Ha! I love that everyone is on the same wavelength!

When I got my first ever positive test I showed hubby straight away cause I didn't believe it (even though it was a line, not a wisp or faint)
He was trying to get out the door for work but we were both crying and so happy!!!
Then on his lunch break he went to Superdrug and got a variety of tests for me to take to confirm.. I didn't wait til he got home and I did a digi I had in the drawer for months and got pregnant straight away 1-2.
I was still testing for ages after that and he thought I was mad. I probably spent like £60 or more on tests.. kept hoping to get a 3+ but kept staying at 2-3.. sadly it never happened and ended in mc.

I don't think I'm pregnant this cycle and our next cycle we're having our last and only frozen embryo transfered so I have to take a test on whatever date our clinic gives me (even if I start bleeding ugh) which hubby will be aware of. So I'll tell him either way on test day.

I don't test every cycle, but when I do I don't tell hubby about all the bfns.. sometimes he sees them in the bin and asks if I'm okay though.

 

[SugaryIris]

Oh Millie I’m so sorry about your mc, fingers so tightly crossed for it to happen for you soon xx

 

[Nikkibiscuit]

Only shown my OH one test and that was on exasperation after several BFN I wanted to show him the disappointment....felt awful though as didn't realise until afterwards he had never seen a test and the flicker of hope that crossed his face when I showed him it made me feel awful.

So I tell him sometimes when I have tested cos he says he wants to support but hats probably like told him twice and tested 20 times lmfao. I don't think it's easy for them to understand the urge as such. Mine always says take pressure off and don't test until get symptoms or miss AF. But to me it's like when have you missed AF...CD29 CD37? Totally depends what mood my body is in lol x

 

[tigerpaws]

I used to have them lying around, preferably on the bathroom sink. So there is no questions asked and he's up to speed as well. I usually feel really shitty when they are -
I'm hoping to be able to surprise him with a digi after first ivf! But knowing my hubby, I suspect he's gonna demand that I tell him about all the tests, or even nag a bit about it lol

 

[_GG_]

He still makes fun of how many I used to get through each cycle, so I think your answer is there, lol. I just couldn't keep it from him. lol

 

[WelshGirl82]

I tell him when my CB test is a smiley or flashing smiley but only tell him of a negative if he asks me... We’ve never got to a pregnancy one so I don’t know...

He has two kids with his previous marriage so even though he’s excited for another he’s more chilled than me as I have none, and the pressure that my brother has 4 kids doesn’t help... they literally only have to look at each other with a raised eyebrow and she’s pregnant... literally they have 4 under 9yrs old!
