Confession Time...

It's no surprise when I say that my body needs help doing what a "normal" woman's would. You're probably thinking, "Duh! That's why you started this blog, Genius!" 

So when I tell you that I get HCG shots to trigger ovulation each month, we should all be on the same page. Once my follicle(s) are developed enough, I get a shot in the bum! Following that, I should refrain from taking any pregnancy tests for 2 weeks in order to avoid receiving a false positive... should. Therein lies the first part of my confession. I like to take pregnancy tests while the HCG is in my system. I just want to know how it feels to get a positive result!! 

Much to my financially aware husband's dismay, the tests are SOOO expensive. A dear friend introduced me to a well-kept but useful secret: eBay! It's true! In order to feed my irrational wants, I buy pregnancy tests in bulk on eBay! That's the second part of my confession. Instead of paying $10-15 bucks for one or two tests, I can buy several. 

So you’re probably thinking, “She must go through 20 tests a month.” The truth is that I could if left to my own devices. But once again, my dear husband attempts to bring me back to reality. Back in January, he told me that I needed to promise to stop this nonsense (the wasting-pregnancy-tests nonsense, not the saving-$$-on-eBay part). He suggested a paper chain may help my patience. So I went to the store, bought construction paper and made one… but I may have still slipped one test in there before it was done.

But don’t tell. He may hide my “supply” this next cycle if he ever reads this. SSHHH! By the way, anyone have any suggestions on colors for this next paper chain?
