My laparoscopy is on Friday and I'm sooo ready to get it over with. However, there's a slight problem: my period is officially 4-5 days late. I don't chart (yet) so it could just be late ovulation or a messed up cycle. I am being seen at a birth center for my possible endo and so I called the nurse and asked her what to do. (I've taken 5 HPTs and all have turned out negative, but my period has never been this late. I don't "feel" pregnant and I highly doubt I am, but I want to be sure.)
The nurse told me to go into the base medical clinic and ask for a qualitative test. We live on a small military base, so I do know a lot of people. I walk into the reception area and look around-all strangers, so that's good. I go to the front desk and (in a normal voice) explain my plight. They agree to do the test and I turn around and one of my students (I work in a kindergarten classroom) and her mom are standing right behind me!
I turn about five shades of red and manage a cheerful "hi" before racing back to the lab.
Still waiting for results...
