Pregnancy Tests

Pregnancy tests can be so frustrating! They can be so expensive too but it is so hard to not go out and buy several because when you want to be pregnant so badly, you want to know if you are or not! It becomes an all consuming thought those two weeks after ovulation and before your period is due when you are having difficulty getting pregnant.

I used to take them early anyway, I would find the cheap ones and buy several. I knew in my head that it was too early to take them but I wanted to know SO bad! And, with both my current children, I did test too early and initial tests were negative at first but I would try again a few days later (still early) and would get faint lines. Then of course, I would worry myself that it was just an evaporation line, but both times it they ended up being positive! Hooray!

I remember in the year it took me to conceive our oldest son, I would take the tests and then wait the appropriate amount of time. Then I would glance and it would appear negative, but then I would think, "wait, is that a possible line?" and I would take it to the other room or even to the window for better light. I think I even took it outside a couple of times and just held it and stared at it hoping and praying that it would just pop up and be obvious, but it never did. Keep trying, I hope all of you get that positive stripe soon!
