Only An Infertile...

So I went to the grocery store today for some "can't live without" basics: whole milk (for Alex), apple juice (for Alex) and yogurt (for Alex...notice the pattern?). While there, I realized that I was almost out of tampons. Another must need item, since the wicked witch is currently here. So I'm heading back for the check-out lines and notice that my favorite brand of pregnancy test, First Response Early Response (better known as FRER to those in the know), was on sale. Well hell...why not get a box, or two. Who cares if there are three in a box. I know that one way or another, they will be used! Also, do you think it's sad that I have a "favorite" brand of HPT? Most women probably grab the first box they see....or the cheapest.

Anyway, I digress. So I'm checking out and have the tampons together with the other non-perishables, i.e. the pregnancy tests. I swear, the look that the mid-30's female cashier gave me was priceless. Equal parts pity and questioning. It was like she wanted to pat my shoulder and say, "Honey, let me explain to you how things work"...

So there you go. Only an infertile would buy tampons and box(ES) of pregnancy tests at the same time. Because you know, a typical woman might actually wait until she *missed* her period to take a test. Not an infertile. Not me. I start testing at 10 dpo IF I can hold out that long! I have also been known to test out a trigger shot. You know. Just to MAKE SURE that a potentially positive test was not due to a left over trigger. Just another way that infertility makes you *appear* a little wacky to outsiders. Little do they know that there is logic behind our madness!
