After this weeks busted cycle I decided to buy the economy pack of Wondfo's. The pack includes 100 ovulation predictor kits and 30 pregnancy tests for a low low price of $34 or 26¢ each. Which means I can test my ovulation for one week each cycle until next August if I wanted to. That also means that I won't be as concerned peeing $7 away if I want to take a pregnancy test more often.
The problem is, do I really want to know. With this last failed pregnancy I'm a little discouraged and a little saddened that it resulted in a miscarriage. Had I tested the morning I woke up vomiting to see two pretty pink lines on a First Respose, would my pain be harder to bare? In the future is that something I want to put myself through so I at least know for sure? I'm really torn on how I want to handle that in the future or if I want to take it cycle by cycle.
Besides the IF life, I got a text from my friends last night who are pregnant with their second baby. Tuesday they found out their little bundle is going to be another boy! Unfortunately during a recent blood test they found that her AFP levels were high so they tested for spina bifida which they didn't find. They did however find a cyst on the babies head so now they're looking at the baby possibly having down syndrome. Right now they're just in a waiting game while the results come back. If anyone else is reading this, please, please keep my friends and their baby in your prayers.
