What a Roller Coaster of a Weekend!

Meredith: Normally, the days you are "blessed" with your period are horrendous, right? Well, I had a bunch of different emotions running through me; my poor husband could hardly keep up with my mood swings.

Meredith

Usually, my period comes and I throw a pity party. Well this time I just wanted to party! I wanted to go out with my guy and not worry about the First Response Fertility Test I was to take the next day. I didn't want to stay home and fixate on whether I would have a good or bad result. So, John and I did just that ... we went out and forgot all about it. We decided to start the night where we were assured we would not see any preggos ... Hooters. Let me assure you, there were no preggos there; however, the women's breasts were so swollen I am sure they were each lactating. John and I had a great time out and about until we got home. Of course, I had to bring up the test I was taking the next day. I wanted to know if he was going to be there with me. I started asking what-ifs aloud. I really was driving him nuts! I managed to ruin our fun night and allow the "test" to control my night and consume my thoughts. I didn't sleep that night at all.

I got up in the morning ready to take the dreaded Fertility Test. John was still bitter about the night before and my over-emotional tirade. He left to run errands, leaving me all alone with the test I have been dreading for weeks! Crap!

This was one test I was unfamiliar with. I read the instructions front to back. Soaking up every bit of information there was to be had on the instructions and FAQs. What the hell?? This test does not give up a result until 30 minutes? You have got to be shitting me! Once I got over the shock that I would have to stew for 30 minutes (alone), I went to pee on the blasted stick!

The next 30 minutes the water works were flowing and boy was I bitter. John was nowhere to be found, I didn't know what the outcome was going to be -- I was an emotional wreck. OK ... admittedly I can be a crier. I cry during every Baby Story, love story, Grey's Anatomy, and just about everything that tugs at your heartstrings just a little. This time it was different ... I was scared. To see the emotional mess that I was, feel free to check out the video. I am a blubbering mess!

After 30 minutes of crying, time was up! I was able to look at the stick, and guess what?!? One line and a faint second line ... Bloody Hell ... what does that mean? After reading the instructions for a second time, I found out the good news! I am able to conceive! What a relief!

My husband got home shortly after and even though I was mad that he was not there, I was so happy with the test result. We shared in the good news together. The house will be rockin' this month ... I guarantee it!

Thanks Tina! I enjoy writing about my experience. I give John a bad wrap sometimes…but I do realize that if he can put up with me and my mood swings he is a keeper.

Hey Meredith! Glad to hear that your fertility test went well! I know that was the one you were most afraid of. As for my friends…that is what I keep thinking, I am like ok, what is the secret you guys aren’t telling me?? If they ever tell me, I’ll let you know ASAP!! Haha =]

Oh, and as hard as it is, try to give your hubby a little break. Believe me, I know how you are feeling. I was like that in the beginning. I felt like he didn’t really care and that I was the one doing all the work (which us women are!) But I’m sure that your hubby wants it just as bad, he is just trying to be the strong one right now. =]
