To Pee or Not to Pee That is the Question (On a stick that is)

I am now 8dp5dt. I finally caved and raided Walmart. I was just there last week and despite the fact that I think it is one of the scariest places on earth, I did see a huge display of Equate pregnancy tests. All 5,000 of them were screaming at me to pee on them. I managed to hold off until Sunday and I bought 12, yes 12. At 4 bucks a pop I figured why not! I have been POAS at a rate of 3 a day, like a junky I can't get enough. One in the morning, one in the afternoon, at one of many rest stops, and one before bed. I brought them outside in the daylight, under my office light and even asked my niece if she saw two lines. While the extra line started off very faint it has been getting darker and darker each day.

The Irish in me is extremely superstitious. I actually debated about even mentioning my results, as I didn't want to jinx anything. I needed to remind myself why I started the blog in the first place and that the support will be there regardless of the outcome. I am trying to remain optimistic but I know the statistics and percentages as well.

Friday is my BW and I plan to go first thing in the morning. Then I am going to stalk my IVF clinic until I get my HCG results, to be continued.....

PS. I am not going back to Walmart again any time soon:)

  1. I recently heard of a girl who had to wait 17 days to POAS (instructed by IVF clinic) and I don't know how she didn't cave! When my time comes I know I will do the same as you and POAS well before my beta test...sounds like it's gonna be good news though, especially with the line getting darker and darker (I've read that's a good sign). Best of luck for Friday x

    I'd be so afraid of peeing on the stick ahead of time. I don't know if I could do it. So, you go girl! 12 tests!!! Love it! LOL

    Have a great day,

  9. I feel the same way about Walmart. I'm hoping that you get good news. It's a good sign that the line is getting darker and darker each day on the pee sticks. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
