Did your DH watch you pee on the stick to find out if pregnant?

I just wondered, did many of you pee on the stick in front of your DH to see if you were pregnant?
Did you let DH know you were about to do the pee, or did you find out and announce it to him when you got the positive test?

Nope.
Did the test, then waved a urine soaked stick in front of him whilst he was having breakfast.... I think I used the phrase "we are go"!

I did all three!
I did a cheap one by myself then told him (I think my phrase was 'I've had a rubbish day because x happened then y said this and it wound me up then z came and did this and this caused me to feel rubbish but then I came home did this test and it came up positive' (without taking a breath)!!) , then the next day I told him I was going in to the loo to test, came out immediately so we both saw the line appear, then the next day we got a digi, he was there while I did it and together we waited for it to pop up saying pregnant!
Seems ages ago now... actually it was only 15th, 16th and 17th October lol! Am 15 weeks pregnant tomorrow x0 -
He bought the test, I went to the bathroom to do the deed, was one of those little digi ones, so I popped the cap on, left it on the side and we both looked together and it said 'pregnant'The frontier is never somewhere else. And no stockades can keep the midnight out.0

Does he want you to test in front of him, C_P?
I announced the imminent test and went off on my own- I often wee with others in the bathroom but anything more than that I'll shut the door, thanks!They call me Dr Worm... I'm interested in things; I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm.0 -
I didn't want to get his hopes up by telling him I thought I was pregnant so did it by myself when he was at work, then rang him to tell him.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0

Just what l was wondering....
No l didn't OP! l took the test and then showed it to DH.
Happy moneysaving all.0 -
In previous months, while we were trying, I'd told him I might be, so he knew I was doing it. Then he looked so disappointed each time I decided I'd just do it, coz it'd probably be negative anyway...
The first he knew was when I raced down the stairs shouting "OMG OMG OMG!!!" Lol.First date 10.2.2002

I suspected I may be pregnant as I had passed out a couple of times on my way to and from work that week and was a few days late. I bought a test and sure enough it came up positive. I announced the pregnancy to my ex by making him pancakes and writing 'dad 2 be' over them with maple syrup. His face was a picture.The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.0

With our daughter I did the test as had a nagging feeling and then handed it to him as i was leaving for work!
We're pregnant again and I went into the bathroom whilst he was having a shower and announced I was testing as was planning on a boozy lunch with the girls the next day my reaction of 'fluffing hell' saw him dive out the shower very quickly!0 -
I went in the bathroom on my own and peed in a cup. Then I came out with my cup full of pee to dunk the stick and we watched it develop together.0
