We had been trying to conceive for about 3 months, with me taking pregnancy tests multiple times a month…all turning up negative. We had to take an emergency trip down to Maryland the weekend after Thanksgiving as Jason’s grandfather was taking a turn for the worse. So on Saturday morning, I locked myself in my in-law’s bathroom to test. This was a different test than I had been using and of course I was trying to hide everything and did not pack the directions. Besides how hard is it to read pregnancy tests? The first blue line emerged pretty quickly, then nothing. The test is a negative sign if not pregnant and positive sign if pregnant. Feeling disappointed, I placed the test on the ground and waited. After waiting about 5 minutes, I checked again. This time a really, really faint second blue line emerged. It was so faint that I assumed I was imagining things and only seeing what I was hoping to see. I waited some more and a few minutes more. This time I was more convinced that I was seeing a second blue line. But still unsure, I checked the test under two lights, then one light, then natural light by opening the bathroom curtain. I couldn’t believe how hard it was to read this dang test. Couldn’t it be a straight forward answer? At this point, I assumed the answer was yes and once we came back home, I took the second test which confirmed our answer! Yay….now, how to tell Jason?!
Was the one that was sooooo hard to read EPT brand?
ReplyDeleteYup you got it!.....I was normally testing with First Response and thought that a change of brand would give us different results. It did, but it also gave me a headache trying to read the dang thing! :)
