It’s amazing how much I’ve looked up on Google since I made the decision to start trying to conceive. In the beginning I looked up what different test scores meant, success rates, etc. Once I had my first IUI, I started looking up every twinge I felt in my body to see if it meant I was pregnant or not.

With each try, there’s less to google since there’s only so many times you can type in “early pregnancy symtpoms” or “how soon can I feel symptoms.” But there’s still lots to investigate. Yesterday I typed in “how long after implantation can HCG be detected?” This was my way of gauging whether it would make sense to take an early pregnancy test or not.

What I’ve realized is that you can find comments to sway you in whatever direction you want. If you’re looking for hope, you’ll usually find it and if you’re looking for doom and gloom, that’s there too. There’s information to suit your every mood.

Against my better judgment, I’ll continue to google.
