The first kit I bought was the simple 7 day monitoring. I thought it would be super easy. Just follow the directions, pee on the stick every day and then I’d magically see the positive lines telling me that I was ovulating, right? Not quite.
After two months of those kits and no positive ovulation sign, I stepped it up and bought the 20-day pack so I could test more days of my cycle. What if I was an early or late ovulator? Again, nothing.
So I then bought two of the 20-day packs and tested twice a day during my next cycle. This is when I started to get scared. The “what if I have no eggs?!” thoughts started to set in.
Not only had I spent a hundred some dollars on these stupid tests, but how accurate were they and did I really have something to worry about?? Were my ovaries empty tombs??
