exploits in a grocery store bathroom

so i woke up this am and made my way to my local jewel (grocery store) for my ovulation tests.  thankful for a great pharmacist who saw me staring at the options and offered his perspective.  once he explained the ropes to me i then commented on how hard it is to get pregnant and he said that i have a 25% chance during ovulation.  i of course countered with my 5 to 6% chance to which he responded with "fci?".  very very interesting.  seems their low numbers have a bit of a reputation.

off i went to the jewel bathroom to pee on a stick.  

i am an adult woman in a jewel bathroom peeing on a stick.  and then waiting the 3 minutes in the stall. again, adult woman staring at a ovulation stick in the jewel bathroom for 3 minutes.

(it should be noted that my bladder was very full as i knew i needed my first pee of the day for the test)

it seems i am not ovulating yet which means more blood work tomorrow at fci as well as another ultrasound.

a friend offered a fantastic solution for the variation in percentages - ask my ob.  brilliant!  so i am hoping to touch base with my ob this week and have her give me her thoughts based on all my results.

regardless of what she says (although i may just use the jewel pharmacist as my new percentage giver), i have decided that i am just going to let the numbers go.  i really struggled this last round because 1) really thought i was prego because no period and 2) i got lost in my overly analytical head with the percentages.  proud to report that was my first time i have gotten lost in my head and hoping it will be my last...but realistically one of a few times.

moving forward i am going to try to steer as clear of numbers as possible!  and maybe try to pee on more sticks in random public restrooms...
