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!

The acupuncture results are in.... (and a preseed review)

By -
I thought I'd give a little update on my first cycle post acupuncture. Unfortunately, I started my period today. It seemed a little more devastating than normal, just because I had gone through acupuncture, taken herbs, and was starting to exhibit symptoms the last part of the cycle. HOWEVER, this was the most normal cycle I have had in MONTHS! I haven't had such a hormonally driven ovulation in a long time... talking moody, breaking out, all the fun things that used to accompany my ovulation. Plus it was a clear ovulation! Like I said in my first post about acupuncture, I noticed an immediate change in my temperatures-- they weren't so sporatic. Same thing after ovulation. I had a very clear temp shift, and my temps stayed above my coverline for the first time ever. But the best thing... I actually had a normal luteal phase!! I've only had one normal luteal phase in the 8 months I've been charting. I am a total beliver in acupuncture! Of course, I would rather be p...

Drugs

What are everyone's thoughts on "fertility" drugs? Have you taken them? Did you have success? Side effects? OR if you haven't tried them yet, will you consider using drugs? How long will you wait before it becomes an option? I'm half tempted to call up my doctor tomorrow and say "Give me the drugs!" I've always been an anti drug person. I'll definitely take them if I have to, but if I can avoid it, then I will (including pain killers). So I'm a bit surprised I'm to this point. I know clomid can have a lot of side effects, and increases the risk of multiples, but I'm getting sick of sitting on my hands. I think my plan is to try one more month of acupuncture and then try some drugs. Today I went to a ward picnic, and a friend of mine came over, and we were chatting and she mentioned that she is 3 1/2 months pregnant. She has a 3 year old and a 6 month old and is already pregnant again. She was going on how this pregnancy was a surprise...
