Testing without telling OH

Please tell me I am not the only person who tests behind my partners back? Main reasons I do this are:

  1. He would think I was crazy for wanting to test before my period is late.
  2. If I test and it is negative then I dont need to tell him and just keep saying oh my period is just about to start.

Maybe I'm the crazy one

Nope, you're not alone. I did a cheeky couple without hubby knowing. Same reasons, he'd probs think I'm mental for doing so many Blush. I think tell him if the final one before AF is negative, at least he knows what's going on xx

Wait... this isn’t the norm? Grin

I rarely tell him!! X

Crazymummyto3 · 28/12/2019 18:17

I'm exactly the same!

Ejb86 · 28/12/2019 19:48

I completely do this. Some of my friends knew before hubby with my LB because he was adamant I wouldn't test until AF was very late.

AsSurprisedAsYouAre · 28/12/2019 19:52

We agreed to start testing tomorrow at 9DPO, because any earlier is definitely a waste of money.

Tomorrow will actually be my third test Blush

Definitely not alone!

Lilice · 28/12/2019 20:26

Yes im the same im a secret tester

He wanted to be there when I tested, but it seemed to affect him quite badly when it was negative. I tested at 11 dpo without telling him in case it was negative. I called him into the bathroom when it turned positive and he guessed straight away what I was about to tell him 😂.

Beau2019 · 29/12/2019 13:03

Yep! All the time!

Mostly because if I told him every time I 'thought' I might be pregnant he would be WAYYY MOREE disappointed than me and probably best to not tell him. Plus I also want to surprise him

Whyhaveidonethis · 29/12/2019 22:49

At least 4 times a month!! He wants to be with me when I find out but I don't want to seem like a lunatic!! 😂 I test from 8dpo then test the day before AF is sue with him there.

Not alone, I do it all the time!

Darell04 · 30/12/2019 09:38

All of the time! I'm addicted to POAS... would never be out of the bathroom if I told him every time! Aside from anything else, though, processing the BFNs each month is easier to do when it isn't built up into a huge moment.

Lizziedu49 · 30/12/2019 14:17

Yes 🖐🏻 mostly because I don't want to get his hopes up and when it does happen I want to surprise him!

cookielove · 30/12/2019 15:18

Yes, all the time! He knows i have wasted alot of money on tests, but how much? He will never know!! Grin
