Ahhh, the delights and bitterness of life of a crazy woman who loves a pharmacy test! They are small pleasures and great emotions that make a woman who really wants to become pregnant become an ADDICTED in this type of product. Fortunately they are made available by pharmacies and so close to the reach of so many anxious and eager attempts at the miracle of life . Do you know someone like that? I know and very well! Myself…
Recalling my days of temptation (active because I never stopped being one), I relive all the emotions I felt when taking a test after the delay or even before it. The extreme shaking I had when opening the box, when taking the test strip out of the package … The adrenaline there was absurd! It sounds like crazy people doesn’t it? But for me it was like a lost hope that was renewed on a simple strip of paper. She who would be able to fulfill a long-awaited dream, the positive!
With almost 4 years of consecutive attempts (in total it was 7 years), I had already lost count of how many tests I had bought , done in days even though I knew it was impossible to get my positive. As soon as 6 days of the most fertile day passed, and there I was suffering, thinking that I could kill a little curiosity, even if it was a minimum of curiosity to know if the cycle had worked out. As much as I followed the basal temperature , there were days when anxiety did not leave me alone. Itching was inevitable, and as soon as the cycle was unsuccessful, he knew that at one time or another he would appear again to tease.
Even with the negative in hand, the damn hope made me see the positive line . It was not possible, there was a line there . I refused to believe that the cycle had not brought me what I expected. And when menstruation finally came, it also came with such a vicious disappointment. At this moment, I blamed myself, self-flagellated and asked God and the universe why it was happening to me. What had I done to not get pregnant, if that was what I wanted so badly? But in the end, I was able to calm down and start all over again.
The moment the hope of the positive came around, I spent hours analyzing the tests I did. In addition to keeping them in order of dates, I still made a point of taking photos and more photos to share curiosity and also hope with other tempters. Some as positive and optimistic as I was, saw the second line as I saw it, even though it wasn’t there. Perhaps, it would be the crazy desire for a new emotion that day. Unknown women (personally) and so united… See how curious the world of tempting people is, to become attached simply because they have similar stories, because they are in a similar moment to the other. To sympathize with a feeling of sadness and to hear or read the words of a woman in a tempting phase:
It wasn’t this time, I missed the cycle …
What Did the Pharmacy Test Freak Learn?
The fact is that the crazy of the pharmacy test , as my dear husband affectionately called me (yes, he knew almost all my “testisticas” adventures), ended up making me an expert on the subject! Imagine you that I went through all kinds of situations with pharmacy tests. Phantom line, brownish line, blurred test with two lines, blurred test without line, only test line showing, only the control line, horizontal, vertical line and even dotted lines . There are so many options of lines that ended up becoming a hobby to analyze together with so many friends that I made because they were tempting. Based on that I created a gallery of pregnancy tests here on TF .
I came to the conclusion that the best test is not always the most expensive . Also that brand doesn’t always mean much. The best are the tests that are credible for their quality and also for not constantly showing defects like so many (famous) brands out there. And the most important thing I learned is when to start taking the tests. The vast majority of the bad feelings I had during that time, come exactly from the frustrations I had with so many negatives in life. The problem is not doing a test or another, it is doing it at the wrong time . So, dear tentative friend, you who have read my text let off steam until now, know that the best time to take the test is after the delay.
Even if a friend of yours got the positive without delaying her period , better to think that each body is a different body with totally different organisms and that it reacts differently to the hormonal stimulus of pregnancy. It may take a few more days for the implantation or even for the HCG to rise in your body. So, even if you did the test before the delay and had a frustrating and terrifying negative, wait a few more days and repeat. However, try not to put your hope so strongly in order not to have greater sadness.The wounds are in feeling weak because of fear of never being able to, but it is so normal … Insecurity can arise in anyone, especially in a sensitive phase that is to want a baby very much. What did I learn every day as a tempter? Want a lot, but give your hope not to cause an intense earthquake of emotions contrary to expectations.
Take it one day at a time …

My name is Dr. Alexis Hart I am 38 years old, I am the mother of 3 beautiful children! Different ages, different phases 16 years, 12 years and 7 years. In love with motherhood since always, I found it difficult to make my dreams come true, and also some more after I was already a mother.
Since I imagined myself as a mother, in my thoughts everything seemed to be much easier and simpler than it really was, I expected to get pregnant as soon as I wished, but it wasn’t that simple. The first pregnancy was smooth, but my daughter’s birth was very troubled. Joana was born in 2002 with a weight of 2930kg and 45cm, from a very peaceful cesarean delivery but she had already been born with congenital pneumonia due to a broken bag not treated with antibiotics even before delivery.
