How involved is your DH/SO in all of this TTC stuff?

Does he:
Know your cycle?
Know when you're late?
Know when to BD?
Ever turn down BDing because he needs to "save up" for ovulation? (No, really, men turn down sex!)
Go to appointments with you?
Research options for fertility?
Reassure you when AF arrives or you get a BFN?

What else does he do? Or is he totally and blissfully clueless?

My DH is pretty good - here are my answers:

Does he:
Know your cycle? - Yes, but only what he needs to know (ovualtion, etc)
Know when you're late? - For Sure!
Know when to BD? - Yes, he claims I look different when I'm Oing!!
Ever turn down BDing because he needs to "save up" for ovulation? (No, really, men turn down sex!) - NOPE!
Go to appointments with you? - haven't had any
Research options for fertility? - No, he leaves that to me
Reassure you when AF arrives or you get a BFN? - Yes, I wanted to go back on the pill last month.

What else does he do? Or is he totally and blissfully clueless? - TMI WARNING.........my DH checks my CP everyday, and records my BBT in the morning for me!!!

Your DH is SOOO good! And totally not TMI...mine checked CP and CM for me, input my temps after it got to be too much, and made sure he knew our options all along.

I keep hearing of more and more men who can smell changes in women. DH can. More disturbingly, a friend of mine used to be soooo sympathetic at certain times. He completely knew when I had my period and all the other changes...freaky.

And I'm not surprised that he wouldn't turn down sex...hehe.

Know your cycle? he knows i'm totally irregular so i guess he has an idea.

Know when you're late? right now i'm always late so i would say yes. but he doesnt know what is going on unless i tell him i'm late or something which never happens becuase he doesnt like to talk about girly stuff like periods.

Know when to BD? no way.

Ever turn down BDing because he needs to "save up" for ovulation? (No, really, men turn down sex!)yeah right

Go to appointments with you? every one. he didnt go to the gyno with me becuase i was late. well he went with me but wasnt in the appt. he was finding a parking spot. i think he was happy to not be in that appointment though becuase we just talked about periods and vaginas and ovaries. he waited outside in the emergency waiting room becuse he couldnt make himself walk into a door that had gynocologist written by the door.

Research options for fertility? no

Reassure you when AF arrives or you get a BFN? i generally dont tell him when i test. i feel like it discourages him. he is very reassuring when i have my meltdowns.

What else does he do? Or is he totally and blissfully clueless? he is pretty clueless and tries to be there to listen and do whatever he can. he just gets totally uncomfortable. he is very supportive though. i'm so excited that he is actually going to do a sperm analyasis. i was worried as to how he would feel about it. now if the dang people would answer the phone so we could get that done.
