How much does your boy know?

My coworker who just found out she's pregnant took a pregnancy test because her husband called her and said, "You know, you're three weeks late." And she goes, "I am!? No way!"

I don't think mine wants to know that much.

The other night, after having sex, I noticed a little bit of red stuff... you know where. (sorry if that's too much info, but I guess it's asked for in this thread- ha!) My boy was like "yep, that's right about time, you always get your period right about the 12th or 13th." I was shocked! I realize now that he's not grossed out in general when it comes to my period. I think that there's some stuff I still wouldn't really want to share with him, because he wouldn't need to know, but it's still good to know that I don't have to tip-toe around the subject with him.

My husband generally knows too. I mean, it's in his interests to know, if I get pregnant it's his baby too, so he might like to know if I'm late. He's not marking it on a calendar or anything, but he has a general awareness of what's going on with me, which I like. It shows he cares and is comfortable with my "womanhood", to be cheesy.

Mine is highly irregular. So, neither of us knows when to expect it.

Mine doesn't know the date, but he will say things like, "Isn't it about time for 'that time'?" which will make me laugh because he says it a way that my grandmother would.

The most interesting thing I've found, and this has been fairly recent, he is curious to know all about it. The other night when I was getting ready to go to bed he wanted to know things like, "how much comes out?" and "how important are 'wings'?" and (my personal favorite) "so I know when I have to go to the store -- what's your brand?" hee! Sounds like some cheesy pick-up line: So what's your maxi pad brand, baby?

"how important are 'wings'?"

oh my god, that's so hilarious!!!! hehe.

I don't think I would ever make my boy buy me any pad/tampon products. I don't think he'd totally object, but I don't see myself in situations where I wouldn't be able to buy them myself. Besides, I had such embarrassment problems when I started having to buy them that I would never want to put a GUY who doesn't even need the stuff through that!

Not much -- though he knows enough to make sympathetic noises when I complain of cramps, and to bring me almost any food product I want when I'm in the throes of hormones. He *can* tell when I'm PMSing though, because even on the pill, I still get a lot fiestier around that time. It's annoying, because, as I say, "just because I'm PMSing, that doesn't mean you're not an asshole!" This is a big thing with me. I may be more likely to say something when you do a bad/annoying/evil thing, but it's still bad/annoying/evil, regardless of my less-Zen-than-usual attitude about it. I don't like that he knows when the hormones are involved, because I don't want him using it to invalidate my argument. But I do like that he comes home with chocolate without prompting and lets me eat all the cheese in the house. ;)

Mine knows the general timeframe. I suspect he wants to know when the nookie-train is leaving the depot. (It's the *last* thing I'm interested in for the first couple of days.)

Oh man, "I suspect he wants to know when the nookie-train is leaving the depot." that had me laughing out loud in the office! my husband knows when its that time, because its usually preceded by migraines, and he too knows the nookie-train has left the depot. My husband is very accomodating, he'll go out and get whatever i need, if i need something, he'll pull down blinds so the apartment is a bit darker and everything.

just curious if anyone's tried this, but supposedly if you get on the 'nookie train' during your period it may help alleviate cramps...i know you feel gross and etc, but that's what i've read/heard.

it absolutely does, but I can't really have sex during the first two days or so (which is when my cramps are really bad) beacuse it actually hurts too much inside. but just a general orgasm (regardless of who gives it to you!) helps with cramps for me.

Nothing like sex to ease the cramps. It is like a massage just where you need it.

My boy is so sweet, he knows when Ill get my period, n comes to my house n puts hot water bottles on my belly n makes me hot chocolate and gives me masages.... etc :)
