I Peed on Something!!

My Amazon package arrived--super excited! I snuck a peek at the confirmation online at work (when I'm not suppose to be on the Internet) and saw that it was delivered. I drove by the house first, but went directly to the mailbox. Just some junk mail and DH's medicines. What is going on? It was pouring rain, and I had to go pick up DH at the Starbucks by his bus stop. As I drove by the house I saw a small package leaning against the front door. Success!! I'll be back in 20 minutes, Little Sticks; I'll be right there. I had to pee like a race horse, so this was going to be good!

Picked up DH, and tried to have a conversation and not pee myself in the car at the same time while it was raining outside. I grab my purse and lunch bag from the back seat, scramble to the front door, unlock it, and whisk the box to the kitchen counter where I whipped out some ninja stars (scissors) and sliced the tape along the edges. "I'll be right back," I told DH. He just let me be and concentrated on making himself some food.

I open the box and see the Fertility Focus Ovulation Microscope, a group of pink packets banded together, and a larger group of blue ones done the same way. I guess that the blue group must be the 40 OPKs, so I grab one and rip it open. I pull out a white toothpick! Wow, this thing is super small--I had no idea. I see this lump of pink dye sort of in the middle and think, "None of the girls' test look like this, hmmm." I then proceed to empty my bladder in the most exciting way possible--on a stick. Then I look at it. "Now what?" Better read the directions, huh? Ok, I read the directions, and I lie it down flat. Wait a couple of minutes. Ok, I can do that too. Wait, the dye is shifting. It's moving away from the lump. Oh!! I see how this little toothpick works now. Op, there's the control line developing. *gasp What's that faint line to the left?! Hurray! I haven't ovulated yet; it's pretty light. It definitely has room to get darker. Sa-weet!

While my stick was drying, I investigated my new microscope. I let the saliva dry for 20 minutes, then came back. No ferning pattern! Yes! I'm not fertile yet. I still have time to play around with this thing. :D  I even let DH take a look. So far the results of my experiment of comparing the darkness of the OPK lines to the observed patterns through the microscope are these: if the OPK is very faint, I can expect to see little bubbles. Tomorrow I will test again and see if there's any different conclusions.
