    Tired of waiting up to two weeks for your HPTs and OPKs to arrive from across the Atlantic?  Want to pee on a stick NOW?  HappyBumps.com is Ireland’s newest and cheapest site for HPTs and OPKs. It’s run by a couple of long-term TTCers so they won’t snigger every month when they receive your order for 50 HPTs.  Was delighted to see that they sell the peestick addict’s favourite, the dipstick.  Not that I am currently peeing on sticks.  No, really, I mean, just cos I do a few tests now and again, it doesn’t mean anything, I could stop any time I wanted…..

    I will probably be peeing on sticks long after all the cool kids have stopped.  Sigh.

      Do you think you might try for a third baby sometime soon, Fiona?

      I am still breastfeeding exclusively so my (in)fertility has not returned yet but it doesn’t stop me getting notions and peeing on sticks!
