So tell me.

Does your SO know you chart?
Does he supposrt it or does he think you should just BD every day and it will happen?
Do you talk about your chart, where you are in your cycle, when you are ovulating?
Does he even know what ovulating is?
Does he help at all (like wake you up to temp?)

DH is super supportive of my efforts to chart and OPK, etc. With that said, I don't think he would care (or even know about it in the first place) if I didn't do these things. He knows me well, and knows that I am going into TTC full speed ahead and that I'm not a casual, fly by the seat of my pants, type gal by any means.

I hope it pays off! BTW, I love charting and temping. I gained so much valuable information doing it. It actually stopped me from being so stressed about what my body was doing each month cause I can see it play by play. Sure, there are times when things aren't going "right" but it's better than ONLY knowing when AF "should" arrive. Takes the guessing out of it, ya know?

Whoops, I guess I didn't even really answer the questions....
We talk daily about what my chart is doing, mostly I volunteer information but sometimes he asks too. Sometimes he looks over my shoulder to look at chart, but not very often.

He does just about anything I would ask of him, so I know I am a pretty lucky gal to have a super sweetie DH!

Do you talk about your chart, where you are in your cycle, when you are ovulating? not really
Does he even know what ovulating is? yes he at least knows what it is

So tell me.

Does your SO know you chart? absolutely. He would have to be blind, deaf and dumb not to know.
Does he supposrt it or does he think you should just BD every day and it will happen? He does think we should just BD every other day so we always have our bases covered. But when I talked about just taking it easy next month and seeing what happens, he was like, "No way!! We HAVE to try!"
Do you talk about your chart, where you are in your cycle, when you are ovulating? Yes, he will ask me if my temp went up around O time, and if it went down when AF is due.
Does he even know what ovulating is? Now he does. Before we got married, he thought DTD unprotected at any time = baby.
Does he help at all (like wake you up to temp?) He used to hand me the thermometer, now I have it on my side of the bed.

Overall he's very good about it and supportive. I think he knows that especially with these 1st post-partum cycles, we would be totally lost without charting. Plus, we were charting when we conceived #1, so I think that persuaded him.

Does your SO know you chart? Yes, docters orders, due to an accident he had
Does he supposrt it or does he think you should just BD every day and it will happen? He does think that we should BD
Do you talk about your chart, where you are in your cycle, when you are ovulating? Never had told him, he would be like "yeah and"
Does he even know what ovulating is? i think he does
Does he help at all (like wake you up to temp?) at the moment, we're sleeping in seperate rooms, as we're currently living with my folks, plus I get up super early

Does your SO know you chart? Yes he does, he's known since the beginning.

Does he support it or does he think you should just BD every day and it will happen? He is very supportive of my charting as he's learned what it's like for me to have such irregular cycles. Without charting, we likely wouldn't stand a chance at getting pregnant.

Do you talk about your chart, where you are in your cycle, when you are ovulating? We do. Either I show it to him or he'll check it out and either ask questions or mention stuff when he sees me putting information into FF.

Does he even know what ovulating is? He does now! LOL

Does he help at all (like wake you up to temp?) He does not wake me up to temp as we wake up at the same time, but he does remind me to add symptoms, etc. to my chart if I'm not near my computer when they happen.

Does your SO know you chart? Yes, I'm a blabber mouth
Does he supposrt it or does he think you should just BD every day and it will happen? Yes, he supports it, but he also thinks that sometimes I go overboard with it that it starts stressing me out. So this time around I won't be putting too much emphasis on it, I'll just chart to confirm ovulation
Do you talk about your chart, where you are in your cycle, when you are ovulating? Yes, a lot. But again, I have to tone it down a bit hehe
Does he even know what ovulating is? I sure hope so, I've explained it to him
Does he help at all (like wake you up to temp?) Yes, if I'm too sleepy he will wake me up
