The Infertile Positive –> Two week wait. Check toilet paper obsessively. Google all pregnancy symptoms. Get all fake pregnancy symptoms. Pee on multiple pregnancy sticks (or avoid them altogether). Take basal temperature, daily. Glare at pregnant bellies. Curse any celebrity that announces a pregnancy. Blood test. Positive? Disbelief. Wait for second beta. Hold breath. Feel nervous. Fearful. Tell no one (or quietly tell your mom). Continue to hold breath.
The Fertile Positive–> Pee on stick. Positive. Tell everyone including the grocery store cashier. Celebrate.
Your infertile positive will come. Just keep believing.

The paper somehow resembles a light pink bleeding but the moment I remove the finger, the TP is white again. Does this happen to others as well and am I normal? Continue reading »
