Do you?

Question

Do you ladies keep your husband in the loop when it comes to your fertile time? I for one don't. I don't want him to feel pressured to perform and I don't want him to think that we are just making love because it is high time. We bd a lot anyway so he wouldn't notice the difference but I think if I tell him that I'm ovulating...it would be a sort of turn off for him. How about you ladies?

Answer

I wasn't planning on telling the hubs until he started finding all the ovulation tests in the waste basket! He of course read what they were and looked at the test and just asked: "Are you ovulating my pet?" For him it's kind of a turn on! Lol

Answer

@cindy whoa! That's awesome! Straight up using primal instinct!

@lauren in cases like that with conflicting schedules...I would totally have my husband be more informed about my fertility. It makes sense!

Answer

I do...but only because we work different hours and sometimes he falls asleep on the sofa before bed. I don't want him to be too tired, so I'll text him and tell him to be ready for me when I get home! :)

Answer

Okay this may sound totally odd but my husband says he can sense when I'm ovulating. He explains it as a smell, but then again not a smell. He's usually pretty close about it. Maybe he's reacting to pheromones?

Answer

Oh okay cool. Haha my husband still won't want it and I'm totally okay with it.

Answer

No, he just gets messages from Glow. It's pretty cool though!

Answer

My husband knows I track my ovulation because he sees the test but I try to keep it all to myself. He's the type that thinks it will happen when it's meant to. So to try and make it non stressful on his part I just leave him out of it. We BD frequently anyways so us doing it often doesn't make him wonder why. This month we are trying preseed but DH doesn't know it yet lol. We always use lube but this time I'll just insert it 15 minutes before we BD. If he ask of course I will tell him lol

Answer

@amanda I don't know! I wonder!! Hmmm...gonna add it on my husbands phone and see if in can see my symptoms on his...then I'll delete it because he will be like.....ummm...I don't need to track my period. Haha

Answer

That's so crazy I was wondering the same thing. When you add the app onto your partners phone can they see your posts and symptoms etc?? Lol

Answer

We have done both, but when I heard if Glow, I read that DH can also add it to his phone so we are synced together! He gets messages like "plan a date night for Katie" while I have messages telling me it's our fertile time. I like that he will understand more about the process. Either way, I'm sure you know what works best for you and your partner!
