:( I failed, I failed the damn pencil test!

I mean I knew they were saggy but I was changing into my pajamas and thought let me give this a try...and lo' and behold it was almost a complete fail.  Oh well, 100% worth it!!
It took over four years to be diagnosed with PCOS. We TTC #1 for 18 months, did 5 rounds of Clomid and finally moved onto IVF...which worked! Throughout our IF journey, we suffered 3 miscarriages. We conceived both DD and DS without treatment.

    ha! I posted about the pencil test this morning on TTTC because I was warming my PIO syringe under my boob - it stayed there perfectly!

    I prefer to think that we are just well-endowed, not saggy!

    Earlier today Howleyshell was talking about her post weaning boobs and that she did not like them.  She brought up the pencil test and what it consists of is if you can place a pencil under your boobs and it falls out then they are perky, if it does not fall out then they are saggy.  Mine, well were saggy.  It is just something silly.

    Ditto. I'm jealous of all of you who've EVER had perky boobs. I'm finding it hard to have sympathy.  Wink

    Wow I'm out of the loop.  I had to google pencil test lol.  I had no idea what you were talking about.  I'm pretty sure I'd fail too.

    Ok- I admit it- I just stuck a pencil under my saggy ladies and there it stayed.  This means I failed, right?  I'm not that big (easily fit into a 36C and could probably start to wear my 34 B's again) but they do hang al little...ehem...low.  Sigh.

    Well...  I feel like crap.

    I'm so sorry ladies!

    In lamenting the current state of my bewbies I certainly didn't mean to depress anyone else about theirs!

     

    :::: off to hide in a hole for making any of you lovely ladies feel anything but amazing and beautiful! ::::

    Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
    Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.
