    My OH is like me wants a child but it is a firm believer in fate....I on the other hand like the science at our finger tips so I know when I am ovulating.....etc to maximise our chances.
    He knows I have bought and been using OPK's but he does not to what extent.....Reading some of your posts and hear that alot of you, like me do tests (both OPK or HPT, when appropriate) daily or too early and my question is does he know how many you do???

    Last week my focus was the OPK (came up +ve on sat....wahoo !!), we had a fantastic BDing wk/end, but I know next week I will want to start the HPT when I should be waiting.

    This is my 3rd mth TTC

    never told him all of them he'd go spare when he found out doing test nearly every day and alsohow much they cost!! Did use e bay tests at one point but they made me worse and did too many of those too even though cheap not sure how accurate they are.

    Sounds very familiar!!! He knows but does not know quite how obsessive I have become.

    Feel a bit like I'm sneaking around, but just cant help myself. Plus does not help cause I have long and irregular cycles. So at the mo currently on CD22 and still chasing a +ov!!

    Thanks ladies, glad I am not alone.....I wouldn't normally keep anything from him and was starting to feel really bad about it.

    I suppose I can't explain my irrational need to know to myself......I am like a woman obsessed !!
    How could I ever explain it to him ?

    When I was ttc I tested like crazy and didn't tell hubby as I didn't want him to be dissapointed. The only time I finally showed him a test was when I got a bfp

    He would get really stressed about ttc so didn't want to put any added pressure on him.

    i have told him i'm going to use ov sticks this mth, but don't tell him if i test early, my excuse is i don't want to get his hopes up as 1st mth off pill i tested after 28 days and he knew about that one and was really excited and a wee bit gutted when it was -ive. think i'm just using that as my cover story as he would think i had flipped if i told him all the details!!! lol!!

    Absolutely not - he would go spare if he knew how much money I spent on testing! He'll know when he needs to know - a BFP!!!

    if my dh knew i'd done 15 tests recentley he'd go mad, he knows how long my cycle is, so we agree which days i should test on, but he doesn't know about the tests i do inbetween these days, does he really think i could wait 5 days between tests, i think he probably has an idea how many i do though, as he knows what the envelopes from ebay contain so when they come so often he must have an idea i do them without telling him.

    Last month I did some secret tests - hubby only thinks I did 3 in total :lol:

    I am REALLY going to try hard and wait until I am due (or the day before) this month. I am due on hubby's birthday so I'm thinking of testing the day before so if its a BFP (fingers crossed!) I can wrap up a clearblue digi and give that to him in the morning. But he knows when I'm due so he might make me test early too!

    Not really although I would if he asked.

    Its really hard I have PCOS and really hard to know if you are not PG as no AF to go by.
    Had myself in pieces the other month as I had the most convincing phantom pregancy aversion to smell nausea etc so I kept testing and testing. I was gently moved away from the pharmacy aisle by my husband. Am now convinced I am a total fruit loop.
    Have sneaked a couple of access diagnostics cheapies in but have really given up hope this month.
    Have not succumbed to the CBD as I think I know nothing has happened.
    Have given up booze for a while to improve our chances so no wine treat as compensation Booooooooooooo

    I'm so pleased someone posted this as hubby knows I bought some cheep'o OV tests on Ebay but he knows nothing about the CB OV tests, HPT and CMFM I just bought !!! main reason being I want him to think its still spontanious (sp!?) and of course he would have a heart attack at the amount of money I have spent.

    Mind I must say that these companies are making a fortune out of people like us !! we are all in the wrong business !!

    lol i was actually thinking along the same lines this morning - that DH doesn't know how much i've tested. he knows some of the times i've tested but not all. yesterday i told him i was going to test first thing this morning and he said to me "i don't know why you just don't wait a few days and have some patience"!!!!!!!!!!
    i'm going out of my mind waiting! anyway i thought AF was coming so I didn't test this morning but still no sign of her so i think i may test again in the morning.
    luckily he doesn't know how much they cost!

    Yep good job the OH doesn't know just how much I spend on this stuff. Don't think the stress would be good for his swimmers.

    Wonder if the marketing people of these companies have a target audience called POAS addicts!! And strategies for getting us all hooked.
