It could be a stomach bug, could be my period, could be a baby. But I won't know for sure unless I take a test or my period shows. I want to delay taking the test even though it has been sitting there as a constant reminder that we're trying to have a baby. I want to delay taking the test to live in the oblivion a little longer, to live in the what ifs and the possibilities. But at the same time it's crucial to know what is taking place as well. If the test is positive, then at least some of the groundwork has already been laid for this moment. I'll be looking at next steps with pregnancy and pcos. If it's negative then I will have to reexamine my life and what could have possibly thrown off my period. I know once I take that test there's no going back: each result comes with its own baggage. As soon as I arrived home I told Kevin I'm going to take the test. I wanted to be alone, to have a few minutes with myself to internalize the result, the emotions, and the realities of the result. I took the test and waited my five minutes. The results came in. I picked up the test and exhaled. I watched it twice . Carefully. Just to make sure. The result didn't change: One line.
