I am so mortified at what just happened in the staff loos !!!!!
It was time to do my OPK, so I discretely hid the kit in a plastic bag from my handbag and took it into the loos with me. Our staff toilets have two toilets next to each other, a dividing barrier but there is a gap between the wall at the base as is usual for toilets.
Anyway, I carefully set myself up with the (thin, vegetable-holding type of) plastic bag on the floor. I PIAC, one of those little “sample” sized ones included in the Fortel pack, but end up with over half full of pee. Never mind, I think, a good sample to collect from.
I carefully place the cup on the plastic bag (in case of a bit of dribble is on the cup base), then go to pick up my OPK sachet. I THEN accidentally catch a bit of the plastic bag on my fingers as I lift my hand up , and I SPILL the entire contents of wee on the floor. !!!!
In the meantime, another staff member had come to use the loo next to me, and I was suddenly aware of the very wee-like smell (I hadn’t had water for a while so it was rather concentrated!!!) PLUS, to my horror, the floor was graded in such a way that spills would drain toward the drain, situated in the centre of the wall between the two toilets. So my great wall of wee was rapidly sliding toward the staff member in the other toilet !!!!!! I quickly fumbled for heaps of loo paper to soak it up, thinking, WHY OH WHY did I have to put SO MUCH WEE IN THAT CUP !!! I ONLY NEEDED 3 DROPS !!!!
Thankfully, the other staff member finally leaves the other loo, and I can quickly finish cleaning up.
Ohmigawd. I feel quite exhausted after all that stress !!!!
Oh hun...
now tell me, did you manage to use some of that pee to do your test and get a good result???
whoops just saw you go an almost!!! HAVE FUN HUN!!!!!
xo
I started to crack up laughing afterwards, in the loo. I had pee everywhere... on my fingers... on my mobile phone (I use it for the 5 minute timer and it was on the floor !!!!).. probably on my shoes !!!!
Yes ruf I got the order explained wrong, I'd already filled the little eyedropper thing with wee - it was when I went back to the sachet to get the plastic tester thing that I spilled everything.. so at least i still had the wee in the eyedropper!!!
That is too funny! Glad you got your sample though! I could just see myself doing that...and chasing the 'wall of pee' with the dropper to get my sample!!! Thanks for the laugh. Hope you get a BFP this time!
deni - so sorry, you must have been absolutely mortified! and im sorry but you wrote it soo well, i burst out laughing! i did opks the same way as saltprincess. i used to worry abt standing up and turning around and testing, cos there is a gap under the cubicle walls and people can see my shadow and shoes and they will know it's me!
Oh dear...that is very funny...very embarrassing...but very funny!
Sounds like you dealt with it extremely well...good on you for having a laugh!
My most embarrassing moment was when I was lining up at a check-out with a 96-tampon pack...
For some reason, when I pulled the tampon pack out of the trolley, the lid (which seemed like it was spring-loaded), burst open...and the tampons went EVERYWHERE!!!
On the conveyor belt, under the confectionary/magazine stand, in the trolley and all over the floor...
It was like it was raining tampons!
Very embarrassing!

HAHAHA monnie that's a classic !!! I would have just died !!!!
At least, I *hope* noone knew it was me in the loos. I waited until the coast was well clear before I slunk out of the cubicle!!
Oh Deni & Monnie - you have both given me a good laugh.
The things we have to go through as females huh.
Hope there is a good result at the end for you Deni
