Everything You Wanted To Know About POAS...But Were Afraid To Ask

[dachsundmom]

Hi Ladies-

I know there are POAS threads out 'there,' but I thought it might be nice to have a place to post all of our HPTs and OPKs!

Use this thread for opinions or to share both your BFPs and BFNs

As many of you know, I am a proud, self-professed POASA! So, I will add photos of my HPTs throughout this cycle and some tests from my photo 'inventory' as well!

BTW, thank Northstar for the name of this thread!

***If any of you are curious as to the best method for taking a pic of a test- put the test on a white background, like a piece of blank paper. Turn your camera or phone to the 'macro' setting, no flash, and don't get too close. When we click on the photo, it will enlarge when we view it.***

Oh lawd, I may become obsessed with this thread. I'm gonna do the "does my hpt look that that hpt" comparison

That's exactly the point, lol. But, I want to see evaps too...it will help us all take the guesswork out of what we are obsessing over!

Ya know one thing that sucks about POAS? Well, its more about the IC's. I'm a big girl, so sometimes I have difficulty peeing in a little cup without pizzin all over the place............one of these days I'm gonna use a bucket

Pics r such a PITA with this iPad...but DH just told me he ordered an iPhone for me....so I will try to figure it out using that....

 

[Indigo77]

OMG....there are 4 tests for CD9 & CD11 .....

Pretty cool though, that the first batch all had BFNs....and the second batch were all BFPs...on the same day....

Crap...I forgot to POAS today....

Ok, so here we go, I have about a million HPT and OPK pics, but I'll go through and try to pick out the fun ones, going to start with an OPK progression with the Answer brand dipsticks and dollar store OPK's, IMO the answer brand is too sensitive and prone to giving false evaps, also; the whole line doesn't get dark, which can be a little confusing, dollar store OPK's have always worked great for me though!!

Evap on pink handled HCG dip strip, I have a ton of pics just like these of these tests, they are very prone to evaps (in my opinion only of course) and I do not suggest them.

This is an evap I got on a green handled IC dip strip from ebay, however, this is the only one I got like this and still believe they are very good, cheap and reliable tests, but you do have to be careful and double check a test result on any test with a second. This was 7 dpo and did not turn into a BFP

This is that same test dry, it was a very convincing line that ended in sadness
