or in a cup.

(raising hand )

i am such an addict.. but im trying to keep my cool this month!!
and yes i do pee on the stick

and does anyone else obsess over looking at it for what seems forever .. thinking you see a line.. even though you dont... but still think that you do!?!
and you hold it in all different angles , under the light.. etc..

i really am going crazy

Re: Thursday TTC question of the day.... (for fun)

I POAS.

I wouldn't say I'm an addict though - I've gotten much better since the beginning!

Re: Thursday TTC question of the day.... (for fun)

I was a POAS addict last time...between the OPKs and the HPTs, I spent a small FORTUNE! I think my dh was going to kill me This time I'm not using an OPK & I'm determined not to test until at least CD40 (I had a 36 day cycle last month). Of course, I say that now, but ask me again in 2 weeks LOL

ETA: I POAS until I wasted 3 digitals...then I graduated to a cup since I apparently am not any good at it!

i wouldn't say i'm an addict...as it makes me sad to pee and see the negative...

i pee in the cup - can't bring myself to pee on the stick...

(i've also found that every single month I DO POAS - i get a negative and then AF shows up within a few hours...so i'm starting to DREAD POAS'ing).

{Raises Hand} I am a POAS addict!

Most of the time I use a cup. Sometimes I run out of cups before tests so then I will just POAS.

Me too!!! I was hiding them all over the place - until he found my stashes I then lied about how much I had spent I feel bad about it, so I going to try & not be like that again/any more

I think I am a POAS addict since I just went to Dollar Tree and bought 8 pregnancy tests! It's like guilt-free peeing since it's so cheap.

Re: Thursday TTC question of the day.... (for fun)

im not an addict but i pee in a cup i find its much easier

Re: Thursday TTC question of the day.... (for fun)

I POAS for the first time yesterday, even though I knew it was wayyyyyyyyyy too early (I still have like another week before AF is supposed to come) Anyway - I used a FRER and after i did it on the stick, I capped it like the directions said and left it on the vanity with the 3 little window things facing up. I come back 3 minutes later and lo and behold, there are NO lines! Not even the control line that was supposed to be there. I started freaking a little bit. And then I turned the stick over. There was the one line that I was expecting. I didn't realize I had put it results-side-down.

I'm so new to this and learning as I go!

Re: Thursday TTC question of the day.... (for fun)

total addict. I need POAS rehab.
I pee in the CUP.

Re: Thursday TTC question of the day.... (for fun)

No thank God. Then again I'm only in my 2nd cycle TTCing, so it's still "earlier" to catch the bug.

But I do POAS & not in a cup.

Re: Thursday TTC question of the day.... (for fun)

I was a complete POAS addict!! After I got my BFP I proceeded to take (and I kid you not) 30 more tests "just to be sure". Then when I was 14 weeks my BFF had left an unused HPT in my truck and I couldn't resist.....I pee'ed on it!! Shock of the century......I was pregnant!!! I am 31 weeks along now and I still walk down the HPT aisle and want to POAS. Seeing the line pop up just never gets old.

EDIT - I pee in a cup and dip.

Re: Thursday TTC question of the day.... (for fun)

I have been pretty good so far....I think about it CONSTANTLY, but have held out pretty well.

I do pee on the stick...

Re: Thursday TTC question of the day.... (for fun)

I'm trying my best not to be...I think I've only tested 2 times in each month so far....I've already tested once this month...

I'm totally not coordinated enough to actually pee on the stick (that and I usually use $ tree tests and you have to use a dropper)

but just in case I get a + on the dollar tree test I want to be able to test on a "name brand" test to confirm so it's def. in the cup for me!
