For the opk's I would pee in a cup. For the preggo tests I would pee on the stick. Except for the digitals b/c I didn't want to chance anything b/c they were a bit pricey!

Re: Gross Question...def TMI

I pee in a cup, this is my reasoning... I ALWAYS test with a dollar test first! If I think it is positive or it looks positive I test again with a digital to be SURE! It is so much to use digitals (especially for OPKS when your testing everyday). I save so much money using the dollar tests and confirming with a digital! So if I am unsure and want to do another test, the pee is still in a cup for me and I don't have to wait until the next time I have to pee again!

Re: Gross Question...def TMI

I always peed in a cup for the same reason. I like to be able to dip several tests. And that way you still have the pee to dip again in case you get a faint line. Also I find when I POAS directly it would spray everywhere Chat Icon It is hard to see where to pee, and try not to make a mess.

Always a cup. Peeing on a stick can get messy and if it's in a cup you can dip other tests if needed.

Re: Gross Question...def TMI

definitely in a cup. I don't like trying to 'aim' and all that. lol. I'm always afraid that I'll miss & not get ENOUGH on there or just not PEE enough either and then the horribly expensive test is now useless. So i save the drama, and just go in a cup. lol.
