    i didn't chart my temps but i did use FF to chart CM & other signs. at first i didn't include DP at all because i thought he'd find it a bit boring & mundane. but then i realised that it actually made him feel excluded from the whole process. whilst there was still a little bit of feeling that we DTD just because it's 'time', he also loved checking to see if i'd recorded that we'd DTD & how many times in a cycle!! i think that him being involved made it much better

    My DH is with me 100%. He knows FF as well as I do and asks me every morning what my temp is doing.

    He's not so interested in the mucus side of things though, but then it's not the most dignified part of it, nor the most exciting.

    This is his journey too and I'm lucky to have him beside me sharing it.

    I'm much the same as Sue1979...DH always asks what temperature I'm at, and opens up FF for me to put my temps in! Such a hottie!

    I've been doing a lot of research since we've been TTC and we talk a lot about it all, so he knows just about as much as I do about it! But I think it makes him feel more a part of the process, I think he secretly enjoys following my temps and seeing where I'm at.

    I think my DP would be happy to know just the basics however I'm the sort of person that goes into minute detail with regards to every aspect of my life. So when we started TTC I shared EVERY little detail with regards to my charting. DP takes it all in and he knows what going on but one day when I was going into extreme detail telling all about my CM for that day he just put up his hand and said "If I have to hear about cervical mucus one more time.......!!!!!!!" I try not to go into too much detail about that anymore.

    Dh was happy to follow temps, but didn't want to know about mucous of any type!
