Ovulation/ other half

Do any of you tell your other half when your ovulating I feel like when I mention it it kind of puts him under pressure but because my strips are out he does check them so is there anyway around it apart from hoping he doesn't check them or do I just hide them and if he asks why do I just say because I don't want you to feel pressurised

This is a good question and one I often wonder about myself. He knows I test and I do let him know when I'll roughly be ovulating at the start of my cycle, but after that it's not mentioned again. There was one month a couple of cycles back where it was very pressurised and we had an argument, so we've tried to be a bit more chill about it since. He knows I test for my own knowledge and reassurance but he is happy to not know, but I imagine he realises when I'm wanting to BD more than once a week hahaha!

Yeah I mean there's pressure on both of us I suppose women because we don't want to put too much pressure on the men and the men maybe feeling too pressurised. It's like how do we all go about it

They say you should just relax and try to enjoy the process... but unless you naturally have a high libido and you and your other half have a very active sex life, then it's not really doable! I def have a higher libido during ovulation, which helps! But I also don't want my husband to think I'm not interested unless I'm ovulating. I just try and make a bit of effort throughout the month and then it doesn't seem as false/forced in the fertile window. I also try and mix it up in the fertile window too... sexy lingerie, texts/pics, role play, toys etc. Just to keep it spicy and not just about the end goal - I find I enjoy it way more this way too! And he definitely doesn't complain hahaha!
