Hello. My name is Kris...

[sleepinbeauty]

...and I'm a POAS-aholic.

I'm on the pill. I know for a FACT that I'm not knocked up but I couldn't help myself this morning. I wasted a FRER! I'm so ashamed. I just missed POAS!

I don't even want to admit how many I wasted in January when AF was a week late. Safe to say I used to have a 25 pack of Amazon cheapies and I now have none.

POAS anonymous indeed.

I know whatcha mean!
It's crap :/

Yeah, I'm going to get OH to buy a pile of ICs for stupid stunts like this. Now I only have 1 FRER and 2 Rapid Results.

On the flip-side, I just figured out how I'd tell him I'm pregnant some day! I always ask him for help when people ask for help deciphering their tests. I'll put mine up and ask him. When he says "yeah, I see a line." I'll whip out the actual test and go something like, *looks at test* "yeah, I do too." or maybe ask him "what about on this one?"

I don't even want to talk about how much money I have spent in the last few years on pregnancy tests that I did not need. Should have bought a designer purse instead.

 

[sleepinbeauty]

No kidding! I could have bought a house just with the money from 2 months ago alone!

Ha ha I have that with the ovulation tests, I have only peed on a pregnancy test twice when I was pregnant but miscarried when I was 18, I'm sure I will be addicted to pregnancy tests when we start, even though I want to wait a whole two weeks after a missed period before I test.... don't think I'll be able to keep to that though

I am too I don't want to be pregnant right now, but every month I convince myself that I should POAS knowing full well that I am not.

 

[Cornbread]

Ditto! I was 11 days late for my last period and I don't even want to think about how many tests I went through, especially since I'd always convince myself to take another one at night "Just in case"... Total POAS addict.

BTW, what's an FRER?

 

[sleepinbeauty]

First Response Early Response. It's a pink-dye, 25 unit-sensing test. I love it!

I know what you mean. The middle of this month I took 3 tests, "just to be sure" I didn't get pregnant sometime close to my period. Now I want to go get more cuz my period is one whole day late.

I have never pee'd on a stick. I have always resisted the temptation. But my resolve has been gradually wavering since joining this site. I'm a day late today, but certain I am not up the duff as I'm on the pill, and the timing would have been ALL wrong this month. This site has convinced me that I have symptoms though, dammit! So now I am paranoid which will make me even later - BIG vicious circle!

I'm not testing though - my OH would shit a brick if he found out, and would probably make me wait even longer to try!

 

[sleepinbeauty]

There is no "right time" on the pill.

I'm on the pill. I'm charting for fun. (check my journal). I once O'd in the 1st few days (like...CD10) and I once O'd alllll the way at the end.

Our bodies aren't running on a normal schedule.

 

[princess_bump]

another pcos addict here i used the ov sticks last month just to 'check' and now af is pretty much here (3 days early ) so i don't get to do an IC just in case

 

[sleepinbeauty]

I once tested while I was spotting (on my way INTO AF. You'd think that would be enough for me to go, "no, save it." but nope...

Yeah thanks, way to scare me I will blame you if I become an addict! Bearing what you have said in mind though, if AF has not arrived by the end of the weekend I guess I'll have to test.

oh I totally feel you! Last cycle was my first cycle off the pill and it was 45 days before I got my period. I went through 25 IC's about 8 bought tests of various brands aswell as a freebie I got from the Dr's too..

Not good!
