Step Away

from the stick.  The pee stick, that is.  Affectionately knowing as POAS (pee[ing] on a stick). 

I just can't resist.  The sticks were calling to me yesterday.  From the shelf.  At the store.  So, DD and I went shopping.  I was feeling especially generous, so DD got the smoothie that she asked for.  I don't mind -- she likes strawberries and bananas, and we get them made with Splenda.  She could be drinking worse things.

It took everything that I had not to use one of those sticks yesterday.  But really, today is the very first day that I could have gotten a result, which is seven days post transfer of a three day embryo.  My "official" test is scheduled for May 20, twelve days after the transfer.

I ended up having to go to the bathroom at 4:30 this morning, so, that's when I did it.  And, nothing.  Only one line.  I know, I know.  What a waste.  Still, it was a distant possibility.

Good thing I bought a three pack!

Definitely too early. Can't wait to hear about the next test?

(And I think they sell them in 3-packs because they know that no one in their right mind would NOT test too early!)

You are brave. I have come to resent those little plastic sticks and their cruel single pink lines, but that's just me.

I have vowed not to home test this time - but heh - let's see if I can stick to that when the time comes around.

Sending you positive thoughts...

Bleah. I hope it's too early! did you save the test and obsess over whether this is a faint, faint line???

One day at a time. There should be a little timer go off in our bodies the moment an embryos implants.

too early...but i like kami's idea of a timer going off...or maybe the tip of on one of our fingers could glow...

Another vote for too early.

And also for the glowing fingertips!
