Directions

So it has been 5 days of stick peeing; no true signs of ovulation yet. You know you are ovulating when the test line is equal to or darker than the reference line. The first few of days my test line was faint but existent. On the forth day I didn't even get a test line. WTF?! Did that mean I was taking a step backwards in this ovulation game? And what exactly was worse than not ovulating, ovulating to produce alien babies? Well last night, day five, I had to excuse myself during a Confirmation Mass with a bishop so I could pee on my stick. The directions say to take the test at approximately the same day each day and I am very good at following directions. As I waited the 5 minutes (not 3 like with pregnancy tests) I wondered if maybe because I was doing the test in a church my result would be positive. Then I thought maybe because I got up in the middle of the Mass and even let out a few big sigh during it (because it was a TWO HOUR Mass), my result would be negative. I ended up with a result somewhere in between...my test line was the darkest of the week but not quite as dark as the reference line. Eh, sure, I am going to say I am ovulating. Oh, I know that according to the directions the test line has to be as dark or darker, but this was close...and I said I was good at following directions, I am just not always good at reading them.
