A day I’ll never forget... 10/17/2018

My fiancé and I had been trying for six months. My period was late and I hadn’t been feeling well at all, so I picked up a pregnancy test on my way home from work that day. It was a Wednesday. I had a good feeling it would be negative... but it wasn’t and I was ecstatic. I hurried home (I was at a gas station) to tell my fiancé but the closer I got the more nervous I was. What if he’s having second thoughts? What’s his reaction gonna be? All these questions were running through my head like crazy. I finally got there and it took me a minute it but I told him and I showed him the tests and his facial expression dropped.

“They’re negative.”

Yes, you read that right. He looked at them and told me they were negative. I took a look at them again and realized that I had been reading them wrong in the bathroom and my entire way home... The whole time I thought the vertical line and the horizontal line were supposed to make the cross in separate bubbles. But man, was I wrong. I went to town and got two more and they were both negative too. I even went to the doctor the next day and they told me it was negative.. showed me their test results and everything... I was heartbroken and felt like a complete idiot. I got so excited for nothing. I told my fiancé I was pregnant, all for nothing.

I ended up getting my period about a week after that and it was final that I wasn’t pregnant. We are still trying but I hope this never happens to me again. Saddest, most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to me..
