How to get a Free Pregnancy Test...

All you have to do is do something stupid. I have discovered the worst possible way to discover that you’re pregnant.

I stuck myself at work today. Right through the pad of my thumb with an insulin needle. A dirty insulin needle.

As part of the full package deal when you get a needle stick is a blood test. AND a pregnancy test. What a terrible way to find out you’re pregnant.

It was not fun dealing with the anxiety and not being able to tell my coworkers that this is doubly hard because we’re actively trying to have a baby. It’s isn’t fun even having the possibility of AZT on the horizon. The nurse practitioner who took care of me said that going on the drugs would be a problem if I’m pregnant. And thank goodness for the rapid HIV test. Without the rapid HIV it would take days to get the results back and I’d have to be on the drugs until then.

The bigger risk is hep C. It’s easier to transmit than HIV and the tests take a few days to come back. Luckily I picked a good patient with a low risk behavior profile.

Onto brighter things. Or at least funnier.

DtD and his BF were going out last night and DtD tells me that he’s only planning to have 2-3 drinks because that’s how many he’s allowed to have according to the “directions”.

Directions?

Did I miss something or do penis’ come with directions? A manual? Is there a warranty? Is he afraid we’ll send his back?

He also said he’s started taking zinc to help his sperm count. I see our boy has found the world of internet research. So cute.
