No, I’m not just sitting here all day
I’m running around cleaning the house. And now, in a BF conundrum. I just received my you-can-test-before-you-even-have-sex test strips, and yep, I ran right upstairs, toting a cup to catch the pee, and had at it. Dropped the first down in the pee, considered it invalid as there is a little line that says "max" for pee amount. Dipped another (have 10, or did). Waited. 5 minutes. Looked. Both negative.
Now. What do I do? Believe them, as their little site says:
Our Pregnancy Test Strips are FDA-Approved, over 99% accurate, and are capable of detecting human chorionic gonadotropin, or hCG, at levels of just 20mIU/ml/hCG. That means you can begin testing accurately just 6 to 8 days after conceiving - and days before your missed period.
To use the pregnancy test strips you simply fill a container or a collection cup with urine and hold the test strip in the container in a vertical position. Just dip the tip of the test for a few seconds. Your results appear in just 5 minutes. FDA-Approved, easy-to-use, and extremely sensitive for the earliest detection of pregnancy - these are the same tests used at your doctor’s office. Our tests are brand new, offering the full 2-year expiry date. Begin testing as early as 7-10 days past ovulation. Or figure these too, don’t register with me this early (3 days before due period), which sounds like I’m being naive. And a bit stupid. Let’s do the numbers. Begin testing as early as 7-10 days PO. OK. I think I ovulated on the 11th? That would be, um, let me count my fingers…12 days ago? Certainly within their range. But the AS EARLY AS part? Does that mean that although this test COULD register a positive this early, but it may not have, and there’s still a chance we will get a positive in a few more days? Or do I read their little info, and figure if it’s negative now, it will be forever, and my period is coming soon? I really do give full full full sympathy to those struggling with infertility. This is crazy. And it’s only cycle 2. Is it time to get Mr. 4tops’ sperm tested? Or some sort of uterus check up for me?
