Today is cycle day 6 and that means my first testing day! So I woke up this morning and already had my monitor and a test stick laid out and ready to go. I grabbed them and went into the bathroom. The stick is much thinner and smaller than I was expecting it to be. Probably because I'm used to the size of a regular pregnancy test. Anyway, when you open the package it's ready to go, with the little pee pad already exposed. You hold it in your urine as you go for three seconds. Then you take the cap off of the other end and close it. Pop it in the monitor and wait.
And wait....and wait...and wait.
It only takes five minutes but it feels like forever. (I'm sensing a pattern of impatience throughout this blog.) Finally a little icon that tells me it's done and to take out the test stick pops up. Once you remove the stick your results show on the screen. High fertility!!
I'm not sure why but seeing high fertility already really excited me. I felt so proud and accomplished, like I'd just received a medal for running a marathon or something! I bursted out, "High fertility!" to Sorrell, like it was something we should pop open a bottle of wine to celebrate. He simple laughed and said, "You're always at high fertility. I'm surprised that thing doesn't just show you constantly ovulating."
Now I can't help but walk around like I have an exciting secret that no one else knows. I'm High Fertility....are you? LOL
