Is your DH?so like mine and listened but had NO clue what you were refering to when you spoke a temp spike? Or does he jump in and ask you about your cervical mucus and position of your cervix? In other words how involved is your Dh/SO in your fertility charting process?

My DH is pretty involved and will ask questions about my temps and CM.

DH doesn't really ask me about all of my OPKs, monitor readings, temps and CM. I've explained it all to him. I know he does turn on my monitor sometimes to see what it says and whenever I take an OPK or a HPT I leave it out so he can see it, even if it is a BFN. But, we don't talk about it much. I usually just tell him that I got a +OPK or a peak reading and that we have to BD, lol.

Well, we've learned 3 different charting systems and he attended all the classes with me each time and has been responsible for keeping the chart updated in the past. He understands all of it.

My dh understands more than I think most guys do. I have showed him my chart and explained things to him whether he wants to know or not. BUT, I still think he is pretty dumb with charting. LOL.

My DH is clueless and wants to stay that way. If I said "Ovulation Test Strip" to him he would not know what I was talking about lol. He knows I take my temp every morning, but other than that he's not sure what goes on. I think he's happier not knowing and I feel like the less stress on him the better for BD'ing days.

I'm hopeful that he will take more of an interest in charting and such eventually.

My husband is clueless and I'm sure he plans to keep it that way. He does ask me about my tests and all, however he has no real understanding of what we women go through when ttc.

He didn't know anything when we first started but now he knows about temps and the good window... he looks at my chart and doesn't know exactly what I do, but knows when there's a E or certain other things that that's a good thing!

We both have been educated in the last 6 months. We both thought that magically that when we decided it was time to get pregnant, we just would. HA! Wake up call! Then there has been this annoying slew of friends and relatives that somehow got the "baby magic" and instantly have become pregnant. So, it's hard for both of us to remain positive that nothing is wrong with us, it will just take a little longer. He is WAYYYY more patient than me so it's nice to have his support and confidence.

He knows OPK's when I am going to test and how much tests cost but he doesn't know all the mechanics behind it, lol!
