Do you tell DH when you are ovulating?

Just wanted to get your opinions/feedback on this. Do you tell DH when you are ovulating? Or do you just have sex throughout the month and not mention anything? I feel like DH knows because we always have more sex around that time of the month.

I haven't really thought about it until today for some reason, but I wonder if telling DH gives him additional stress about performing. I guess I can just ask him about it, but was curious what you ladies think.

Thoughts?

Do you tell DH when you are ovulating?

I told my DH--He travels a lot for work during the summer so we tried to plan his trips around my cycle. It never caused him any stress but my DH does not get stressed out very easily. We did not BD on an evey day schedule unless of course we wanted to--My RE said every day was unnecessary and sometimes it is more effective to BD every other--I took her advice and got my BFP the second month of trying.

Mine knows, we analyze the OPK results together

Re: Do you tell DH when you are ovulating?

Yes, my DH knows. I am a compulsive planner and I constantly make lists, charts, look at my calendar and talk about it with him. I.e. "If we conceive on x day, then the baby will be due on y date"...etc. I also feel like if he knows that it's "go" time, he would be less inclined to decline bc he's tired (yeah, that actually happens lol)

Re: Do you tell DH when you are ovulating?

I kept DH in the loop while I temped prior to TTC so he had an idea of the timing needed. And I told him when during our first month ttc would be the most effective days to BD. I will say that the very first time we officially pulled all methods of protection ever in our lives and were trying to make a baby was a bit of a mental hurdle for DH (that I totally didn't expect) and it took some time to get going. Although it was exciting to take tis step, it is a bit daunting and I'm sure we were both anxious but it is more physically obvious in men it all worked out though!

Do you tell DH when you are ovulating?

Yes.... I usually send him a text of the smiley face with some corney joke about how this smiley face would make him smile!

Re: Do you tell DH when you are ovulating?

Yes I say when i get a + OPK but I feel it adds more pressure because of performance.

Re: Do you tell DH when you are ovulating?

i did the first 2-3 months but think he felt pressured so i stopped
i would just initiate more during those times - and DH never says no to sex so we never had any problems (im sure he knew thats why i was initiating but he would never complain)

Re: Do you tell DH when you are ovulating?

I do. I use opk's in the morning and if it comes up positive I tell him it's go time. We then kinda wing it from there if we every night or every other night.

Re: Do you tell DH when you are ovulating?

My husband works out of town, so I have to tell him so he comes home, if he can. The whole process is stressing him a bit. Me too really because I always seem to O on Tuesdays and Wed is his early meeting day., So he cant get home Tuesday nights,

That's why I'm praying for a BFP this month since I Od on a Saturday at wedding when we stayed overnight at the NY Athletic Club in Manhattan, so it was a fun, stress free weekend and i didnt have to let him know there was pressure attached to it.

Re: Do you tell DH when you are ovulating?

depends on what's going on in our lives. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Its so hard to plan sometimes, I travel a lot for work.
