Trying To Get Pregnant = Peeing On Things

I realized that if you are trying to get pregnant (or scared that you are pregnant), your world revolves around peeing on sticks whether it be pregnancy tests, ovulation tests and apparently now fertility tests. Here is this little plastic stick that sets you back $10-$20 and will be the deciding factor was to whether you will be overcome with joyful emotions, disappointment, relief or the "oh crap" feeling. What other thing could give you 4 possible outcomes?

You go through so many emotions before you even take a pregnancy test. You know when you are suppose to get a certain "visit" and you don't, you think "Am I? Am I pregnant?" But you can't take a test right away. No, you have to patiently wait 2 or 3 weeks for enough hormones to build up then you get to pee. During that time, you have to try to forget so you aren't tempted to take a test before it's "time" but it's hard because you are hoping that you are pregnant. Besides, those tests aren't cheap. Apparently, the pregnancy tests' claims that they can tell you if you are pregnant 6 days before your missed period are crap.

Instead of taking pregnancy tests if they were necessary each month, I have graduated to ovulation tests by doctor's orders to see if I am in fact ovulating. Each brand has different instructions and the brand I bought requires me to take a test every single day. So every single day, I go through the emotions and wait the required 4 minutes in anticipation to see if the day has come that I am ovulating and the test line matches the control line exactly so I can take the next course of action to put it mildly.

It's funny how my life has come down to peeing and waiting, all to have a little person grow inside me but I'll do it willingly.
