Which pregnancy test company are you keeping in business? (or at least prefer?)

I get whatever is generic for the store. I went after 9 on Thursday, and they had them locked behind the pharmacy counter. They said it was because they get stolen. Okay, so people are embarrassed to buy them, so you put them where they have to ask someone to retrieve them out loud. Yeah, that should help with embarrassment. Argh!

Melisa, I hear you about the location! I haven't had to ask... but I love how the P-tests, condoms and other intimates are right in front of the phramacy so the pharmicist and all the old people get persciptions can see what you are buying... I always try to flash my wedding band as much as possible :)

I usually buy target brand (which is the cheapest I have been able to find out here... haven't found them at the dollar store yet).

Leave it to me to get into a nice loud discussion about it with about 4 store employees. I have no shame. :o)

I love the Aimstick dipstick tests from http://www.babyhope.com

They work EXTREMELY well. I have never gotten an evaporation line on them, and they are very sensitive. They picked up the end of one of my miscarriages when my HCG level was only 4!

(and I love ordering them online. No embarrassing trips to the store. And I can stock up and buy 10 at a time. And they're so cheap!)

We normally use AAFES brand because its the ONLY kind carried on this Army Base. We were at walmart once and saw a special-a 5 count box (thats right 5!) of the digitals for 15bucks so we bought those but after that box runs out its back to Army brand.

Dollar store, and they work fine. I just learned about them a few months ago, and I won't spend more than a dollar again!

Through the wringer, yet again

By -
I didn't think I would be posting on this blog... or, really, I was hoping I wouldn't be posting my own personal, current, struggles here again. It has been over 3 years since we first set on our journey of "sub-fertility." Since then, we had Daniel born March 2010. I have heard countless stories of people who had problems getting pregnant that when they were ready for the next, they started trying early, anticipating the time, and mental/emotional energy. Then, the next kid came within a few months of trying which made their two kids really close in age. I thought for sure that would happen to us. We had one miscarriage before our first daughter. 4 months later we were pregnant. When she was 17 months we started trying for number 2. I was diagnosed as having blocked tubes the first month into ttc. It was a devastating, role robbing, purpose crashing diagnosis. I lived with that diagnosis for 9 months, until finally, I could go in for some additional testing (that p...

My experience with Accupuncture

By -
Some of you will remember me saying that I have been considering accupuncture for fertility treatments. I did a lot of research, and decided to give it a try. I have been twice so far, and I am thrilled with how it is going. At the first appointment, during her assessment, she came to the conclusion that my thyroid was off. I was a little leary, considering that my doctor had just checked it a month ago and it was fine. But I went ahead and asked my OB to order another thyroid panel and guess what? She was right. My thyroid levels came back out of whack, and way different than they were a month ago. Apparently if your hormones are out of whack, the levels can fluctuate, which is why it was fine last month. It makes so much sense, since all month I have been EXHAUSTED, and just attributed it to the winter blahs. The lab technician was laughing at me that I was excited about having some abnormal labs. But I was excited to know that I'm justified in paying for accupuncture, since she ...

Negative

Yet another negative test today. My period is a little late, but I was still being optimistic by testing. For thinking I didn't care much anymore, it sure does hurt! Here's to another month...
