Relaxing Doesn't Make Babies

Sometimes I am REALLY dense

June 16, 2009 — 8:42 pm

Den: “So how are you feeling hon?”
Me: “Fine, I guess. I’m fine.”
Den: “I saw it earlier today…”
Me: “Yeah. Wait, saw what?” (thinking he’s talking about the blog post about my coworker or something?)
Den: “Yeah, I saw it in the trash. I didn’t mean to, but I went to throw something away…”
Me: “The trash???” (Now utterly confused. A piece of paper or something? WTF is he babbling about?)
Den: “So, not good news huh?”
Me: (LIGHTBULB: He’s talking about the negative HPT I threw in the trash this morning and didn’t bother telling him about!!) “Ooohhhhhh. No. Not good.”

We have a standing agreement, that if it’s good news I wake him up to tell him, but if it’s bad news I don’t bother mentioning it. He’s never really sure when I’m going to test, either. But with so much other shit going on I actually forgot that I hadn’t already talked to him about it.

    aww hunny…could it be too early still??? any pms symptoms? no symptoms is somewhat good for now right??? I’m really keeping my fingers crossed for you…maybe tomorrow..you know (of course i didnt go through ivf) but it took me 2 weeks past my expected period to finally get a pos test…it’s soo stressful to get pregnant

    It could be too early, but I feel nothing at all. And this is 13dpo, so really, it’s not all that early. But I guess anything’s possible… I’m just not banking on it. :/

    It’s not over yet, though, right?

    I did NOT want to read this. I’m sure you didn’t want to write it either. I keep going back to what you said..the 50/50 chance. That calms me down…does it help for you? Or is it hard to hold on to that? I’m sorry, Natalie.
