Nursery to Toddler

The Pregnancy Test $3.95 Ordinarily, I’m a fan of pink–lovely color, does smashing things for the complexion. But not when it’s the bright, glaring stripe staring back at me on the pregnancy test. Then, pink is the color of major oops, of morning sickness, of boyfriends who seemed decent but now are part of some Jerk Witness Protection Program. Still, I’ve got a few things going for me–bitter humor, a divine right to eat till I’m the size of Marlon Brando, and good friends who’ve managed to get me a job interview with one Damien Sharpton: in need of a personal assistant, and some say, a good, swift kick in the arse. If you want to make a lasting impression, by all means, toss your cookies in your future boss’s wastebasket, which is located directly between his excruciatingly sexy legs. Apparently, Mr. Gorgeous-But-Unbearably-Anti-Social must like personal assistants who violate his trash can, because I got the job. And if I can avoid him via text messaging for the next seven months of health insurance, everything will be just fine. Except that he’s just asked–no, insisted–that I go with him on a business trip to the Caribbean. Gulp, Ordinarily, this would be cause for celebration. Ordinarily, I’d shave my legs, pack my bikini, revel in day-glo drinks and my seething lust for Mr. Swarthy-And-Secretive. But there’s nothing ordinary about this situation…which means it could be absolutely extraordinary.

Some Helpful Fertility Products and Advice

Choosing the right Fertility Lubrciant

Pre-seed Lubricant has been around for quite some time now, it was the first sperm friendly lubricant to be marketed to couples that were TTC (trying to conceive). It is pH balanced to vaginal fluid so the sperm can swim through it. Conceive Plus is also sperm friendly, with Calcium and Magnesium Ions which can actually help the sperm. Both of these fertility lubricants are definately sperm friendly and will not hinder sperm unlike other lubricants. Many couples have reported pregnancy very quickly after switching to a fertility lubricant.

What are Digital Ovulation Tests

Using a digital ovulation test can take the headache out of trying to determine  when you are ovulating. A simple, yet effective ‘smiley face’ will appear once your LH surge has been detected. Digital Ovulation Tests are midstream tests that you use while peeing rather than collecting your urine in a container. If you prefer they can be dipped into your previously collected urine. The downside is that digital ovulation test kits are considerably more expensive than other ovulation test strips. Often you can get 50 or more ovulation tests for the price of just 7 digital ovulation tests.

Should I use a Midstream Pregnancy Tests

All pregnancy tests work the same, they are sensitive to the HCG that is present in your urine when pregnant. The HCG starts off very low so a very sensitive pregnancy test is required to detect pregnancy, often 10miu/ml pregnancy tests are the only ones that will give you a positive result really early. Most midstream pregnancy tests will require that you wait until your period is due or a day late. Digital Midstream pregnancy tests are less sensitive than the pregnancy test strips that you dip into urine so if you are planning on using one make sure you wait until your period is due to avoid wasting money. The midstream pregnancy test is less ‘messy’ than a pregnancy test strip and offers more privacy as you can perform the test while still in the toilet. Ultimately the choice will come down to which suits you best, both for ease of use and financially.
