You guys are cracking me up! We have Dollar Stores out here which are great for some things, but apparently not their hpt's! I would imagine that they aren't really faulty, but you have to wonder since obviously the stuff at the store is all pretty cheap. I'm sure it's very much like your $2 store. Imagine the money you'd save on hpt's if they aren't faulty, though! I figured that even if it came out neg. at least I didn't waste much money. On the flip side, though, if it's neg. when I'm really pos. then it's not much help at all! I'm just not sure whether they're as accurate as the more expensive tests, so when I do test again, I'll definitely use a more expensive test from Wal-Mart. Do you guys have Wal-Mart there? Or treelo, since you have 10 in a drawer, can I get one of yours? j/k

treelo--Your tattoo sounds like it will be awesome! So sorry to hear about your best friend, but I think it's such an honor that you would have a tattoo of her favorite flower! And the fairy sounds so cool, I love fairies! I have a fairy (it's a temporary tattoo that my son got from a quarter machine) that I've been saving and would love to have DH give it to me. He does tattoo's--he's done almost all of his own, as well, just not the ones he couldn't reach on his back and the ones on his right arm (b'cuz he's right handed). He's got all the ink and the tattoo gun. He gave me a couple cute frogs on my right hip a couple years ago--I don't even like frogs, but they're very bright green, yellow, and red--very cute! We found UV tattoo ink about a year ago and went back over them, and now when I shine a UV light on them, they glow. It's awesome! Can't you still get a tattoo when you're pg?

plc--I'm really not sure when I should test again. I guess maybe Fri. if AF doesn't show. Still feeling a little discouraged about it. BD'd enough during the time it originally showed that I was fertile and supposedly O'ing, but once my fertile days changed, there was just one reason or another that we just didn't get around to it. We haven't BD'd since 14th, though, 2 days prior to my new fertile days! So I don't know, that might have blown it for me for this mo! I woke up this am to a cold sore, though, and for some reason every time I'm pg I get a cold sore. But then again, there have been times when I've gotten one from the sun or the wind so I'm not sure that's an accurate sign. "Sigh" I just don't know what to do!
