1. Your reading this thread!
2. Yo'u purchase more than 1 box at a time
3. Every wee is a wasted opportunity to test!
4. You check the result at 1 min .. 5 mins .. 10 mins .. 11 mins .. 12 mins .. 2 hours .. 6 hours ..etc ..
5. The first thing you think about when you wake up is .. time to test!
Add some more!!
When the entire bottom drawer in the bathroom is full of POAS packets!
When you have to actively refrain from testing after your HCG shot just so you can see what two lines actually looks like :lol:
You order in bulk on the net...
You think .." if I just angle it this way and towards the light and squint my eyes .. "
The entire bulk order from the net is all used before AF is due.
'Hide' the used POAS from your dh, so he won't know you are a serial tester
You're convinced that you are pg... it is just a dodgy batch of tests... so you go get more but different brands - and then each time it is neg you still think it is the dodgy batch of test
Wake up at 2am and test ... I did this last night :redface:
You carry your POAS around and ask others what they think!!!
:rofl:
At least we can laught at ourself right!? And I'm not the only one!
Oh gosh, I think I've been guilty of all these things at least once PMSL!
I have some more..........you use OPKs from 7DPO cos you're so desperate to see two lines (worked for me, twice!).
You use OPKs even when you already know you're Oing, just so you can see two lines :redface:
You're totally amazed that your DP/DH can't see those two lines given that they are TOTALLY obvious if you hold it at the right angle and squint - all provided it is the right light of course
PMSL - yes the things we do when TTC!
When you POAS 13 times in the first 12 weeks of your pg - just to check :redface: :redface: :redface:
You buy a batch of 50 off the net and you still cut them in half to get more value for your dollar plus definately hide them from Husband so he knows your not a serial tester. Im definately one of those.
wow I never thought of cutting them in half!!!
You smile at the shop assistant when she says " I can't imagine you would need more than a 2 pack dear "
That is a great idea!! This is my first month using OPKs and I have used 19 out of the 20 that I bought.:redface: I think I can safely say I am....OBSESSED WITH POAS!!! Although reading they can sometimes work as a HPT didn't help matters.:rolleyes::
when you carry both OPKs and HPTs in you pocketbook b/c you never know when you need to POAS:redface:
and you stash them all over the house so DH won't find them and think i'm nuts
when you collect a "sample" in a little cup every time you pee - even when you couldn't possibly be UTD!
Today I even tried POAS that I already used last month. Satisfied my urge to pee on a stick but didn't work all the same.
The instructions say to "dip it" for 5 seconds, but you "dip it in the fmu" for 20 secs .. Just incase it needs longer to absorbe
You take the negative tests and wrappings to work to "throw them out" just incase DH finds them in the bin
You stare at it for so long, staring at the ONE depressing line, that your eyes actually start to see a strange image of a second line appear for a moment when you look at the white space...then you realise there is still only one line, no matter how hard you squint, or tilt it under a different light...
...You take a photo of your BFN and run the 'negative' filter on Photoshop just in case there's a very faint line. :redface:
When you feel like you are having an out of body experience and have ripped open the packet pee'd and dipped before you get control of yourself again!!! Knowing that at 3DPO there is NO WAY it would ever be positive!!! ha ha ha
You buy the really $$ digital ones so you dont have to look for a line.. that might or might not be there..
