Do you hide obsessive TTC behavior from your SO?

Question

The reason I ask is because I realize that I really don't show my hubby how obsessed I become during my TWW. I don't want him to see how silly I am. I google every "symptom" I notice every day for probably like 3 hours a day during the 2 weeks Post-O. 
I've noticed plenty of girls saying that their husbands are there when they test...i never even tell him when i test. I don't want him to be disappointed with me. And I don't want him to see how often I test, and my reaction when I see a BFN. I also don't want to see HIS reaction to seeing BFN after BFN...
Is this weird??

Answer

I do the same thing. I hide everything to do with serious TTC from him because I don't want to see him disappointed or angry at me. In some ways good because he does not feel pressure, but really bad because I suffer in silence most of the time.

Answer

We've been trying for over a year now. We agreed to 'if it happens it happens' bugs not how I feel!... I want another so bad. I've taken to buying ovulation tests now. Not the cheap ones either. But he don't know about it!.. Testing in secret. I'm all over him my fertile days then have a head ache my non fertile days 😂😂. He don't know about this app and how I bloody track everything. 
 Your not alone my lovely!! Xx

Answer

Yeah, I'm a little ashamed of my behavior during the TWW. I know I told my hubby we would test together at 10 DPO this last time, but then at 8 DPO Glow said "test today!" and I couldn't help myself. I did test, but was too ashamed to include my husband, but then he found the evidence in the trashcan and confronted me with it. So that was even worse. The test at 8 dpo was a bfn (duh) but then we did test together on day 10 and got our BFP. (:

Answer

My husband know I am obsessive and thinks it's very psychologically and mentally unhealthy

Answer

I hide all my crazy from him and he still says I'm to stressed about Lmao if he only knew !!

Answer

It stressed my husband out and gave him performance anxiety so he actually asked me to hide it from him and not mention it. I knew he was into it and wanted a baby as much as me. I also understood not being able to get it out of your head so I appeased. Well, I used to. Now we are doing IVF and we both talk about it endlessly!

Answer

I think it is normal. My husband knows that I am a bit obsessive, but I definitely do not tell him about every test I take. He would think I was insane. =P

Answer

My hubby knows im getting up there in age 34and ive been on bc for almost half my life so we know its going to take awhile. But he sees me buy tests. I dont test with him around just do it in my own private time. I don't need additional pressure or disappointment from him. Trying to just enjoy life prior to the big change. The more you hyper focus on it the harder itnos to concieve (wellnin my opinion)

Answer

Oh I try to hide everything, my OPK test strip, the paper I save them on, and my pregnancy test stash are all hidden. He only knows about my themometer and that's bc it beeps every morning at 4:30am. I've thought about testing with him, but it would upset me if he wasn't as sad/happy as I was.
