All you can really do is laugh

On Friday afternoon, I am standing in the checkout line at the local drugstore and I am in a daze of thought.  As I look in my basket to see what random crap I am buying and I bust up laughing at myself.  I have a box of 10 ovulation testers, a box of 3 First Response pregnancy tests, and a jumbo size of tampons.  I guess as an infertile you always have try to get pregnant, having some hope that you will do it on your own and that I might actually need these pregnancy tests before they expire.  My body knows each month will inevitably end in needing the tampons but I guess my mind doesn’t.  Glad I thought it was funny.

    LOL. Those are definitely the symbols of infertility and hope! Keep on laughing.

    I have done the same exact thing, thankful for self check out otherwise I might even be a bit embarrassed. Hoping for the miracle for you.

    Too funny! I always walk past that aisle, no matter what I'm in the store for!

    Ah, yes. I tend to head toward self-check as much as I can when I've got those combinations in my bag...

    I am completely out of tampons but I keep putting off buying them and just using all the "emergency" ones I have stashed in various luggage and purses because I'm trying to avoid "jinxing" myself. The life of IF.

    Amazon :-). The cost of those pregnancy tests is crazy though, so I settled for switching to strips.

    Just started following your journey... I can't express how sorry I am for your loss(es).

    I am, however, amused by your purchases. In my bathroom cupboards are ~50 preg tests and ~80 ovulation sticks (both internet cheapies), as well as about 6 boxes of tampons. That would make a funny picture.
