Now let me tell you a story - Probably too much detail for most guys - so fellows and women who don't like personal information - stop reading HERE.
Anyway... This is a story I told a few months ago (I'm actually 46 now).
I'm 45 now, and clearly going through "the change". Which means my cycle is beyond screwed up. My cycle ranges from 2 weeks to 5 months and there is simply no predicting.
2 weeks after my last period my hooters HURT. Which is not typical for me. And they keep hurting... for a week. Finally it dawns on me to take a HPT. one line. 2 days later take another. one line.
OK, the 2-pack is used up and still no flo, and hurtin hooters. So at lunch time I split from the office and run off to Rite Aide I go to buy a few more HPTs. And I smuggle one stick in its little foil pouch into the ladies room.
TWO FREAKIN LINES!!!!!!!!
I'm sitting there in a stall with my knees knocking together so hard I swear someone heard me because the next thing I hear is my friend Patty asking if I'm ok. Well NO I'M NOT!!! She calms me down, looks at the stick, turns white-red-white just as I did but then asks a good question - did I read the instructions?
Instructions? Heck, I've spent most of the past 25 years trying not to get pg and the rest trying TO get pg so I've invested a small fortune in these little sticks and I sure as blazes don't read the instructions any more.
Because I'm sarcastic I say, "Gee, maybe this pg test is different from the hundreds of others I've taken in my lifetime" but she's a much nicer person than I, and steers me down the hall to my office where we fish out the instructions and she reads them while I continue to panic.
Seems that with the Rite Aid brand THREE lines means +++++++++++
And those two I had mean NOT pregnant.
Thank goodness!
