POAS addicts welcome!! Talk about anything to do with POAS! :)

[Bushmumma]

Hi you, yes YOU! You POAS? Oh, you do (shock)..... Me too, all the time. I even get sad when flushing my pee wondering as it's twirls outta sight if my line just went down the loo with it!!
My son calls me a poasomatic!!! It's fabulous ! I have heard of ladies that save their pee, hold their, smell their pee... What, how, when and why do you have a POAS addiction?
Tell me I wanna know, I find it very interesting to think that I'm not alone in the world where you walk into the chemist and buy bulk HPT's and have the lady behind the counter look at you like your going home to have a party with a bunch of ladies to POAS .. Or you seriously just have a problem, the lady that came in before you only bought 1 test!
Hmmm... She has a problem I think
So POAS addicts spill!

Hi my name is Tanya and I am a POAS addict. I currently spend my time traveling from superstore to superstore and going to self serve to pay for my tests, and that is just the expensive shop bought... Amazon is also my supplier, it gives me some fantastic OPK's around 50 for £6 I get them every other month.. and last week I purchased 50 hpt's on Ebay for £5 so now I have added another supplier. I find that the discreet nature of my postman delivering a blank parcel helps with my addiction and for this reason I think it is out of control.

Im currently not supposed to be ttc this cycle but this morning I have already POAS and done OPK test, im just making sure I am still ov and having a normal cycle. Normally on a ttc I will POAS twice a day morning and night with opk then after I have ov I try to hold out for as many days as possible before using ic's hpt.. the worst is when I start at 6dpo morning and night.. but last cycle I managed to hold out till cd10 or cd11 so think I am fighting the battle and beginning to win.

There are no groups out there where we all sit in a circle and talk about POAS because they have found that most of the women would be in the toilet instead of sitting in the circle or too busy moving the test around in the light and taking photo's of dry wee on a stick..

I would love to get over my POAS addiction as it is costing a fortune... but as soon as certain days of the month arrive.. the urge to pee is too strong...

I bought 50 pregnancy tests and 100 OPKs plus 4 FRERs a couple of months back and have used most of them. I now feel justifies though because I got my BFP 9 DPO and I'm now 6 weeks pregnant. I'm still using the IC's every few days to watch the lines get darker and OPKs just out of curiosity.

 

[Soanxious]

LOL Bunny... when I got pregnant I could not stop POAS either.. unfortunatly mine got lighter after a while. But lots of women still test often its the addiction side of it. congratulations!

 

[Bushmumma]

Hi Tanya..... Thank you for sharing your POAS addiction with me . I'm sure everyday is hard when your waiting but each day waited is one test saved! Well done and fight that urge to POAS!! (Everyone claps hands then looks bank at tests looking for that elusive line).


Hi bunny... Welcome. I'm happy you have noticed you no longer NEED to POAS although as a true addict you will give any excuse to run to the loo and POAS, waiting to see the line then running to the others you have lined up from three days previous and begin to compare.. What ever your reason stay strong try to fight the need to POAS... Or at least cut back on the opks as there is no more ovulation happening for the next 34 weeks! Thank you bunny ( clapping hands as everyone is smiles an impatient smile for you to sit down as they need to go to the loo)

Congrats on your BFP too

Thanks. I'm thrilled. They say you can use OPKs to test for pregnancy too so I was just curious. I'm now curbing my POAS addiction in a different direction as I just got my test strips in the post that test for protein etc in the urine. They are a bit more useful during pregnancy .

 

[Soanxious]

Thanks BM.. thanks everyone for the round of applause im glad you took the time out from photographing your tests and posting them online...


Bunny.. thats so good.. the Protein dip tests... wow im hoping I graduate to that level.. runs off to get prices....

 

[Bushmumma]

Me too, right up my alley! That's it bunny this is for helping addicted ladies not to encourage more POAS excuses... No round of applause
I'm really going to get some what a fanatic way to keep a POAS addiction rolling on through out a pregnancy! bloody beauty!!

Ahhh see, see what I mean? So easily lead to any ANY reason to POAS!

 

[Soanxious]

I was watching a dog pee up against a tree the other day....









I thought what is the point in that? What results does that give? Maybe its a doggy kinda test.

 

[Bushmumma]

Yes it could be.... Doggy POAT!!

[RaspberryK]

Pmsl... Oh Whoops what a waste that should have been poas.
I'm currently out of stock except for one ic and one frer.
Ic will be pee'd on fmu tomorrow of course.
Xx

 

[Soanxious]

Enjoy your pee... and FX its showing 2 lines

 

[Bushmumma]

Hello raspberry.... Welcome to POAS addicts, I understand that you have a problem as you class yourself outta stock, than openly tell us you have a couple of tests left. This is cause for grave concern as a non POAS addict would think that that was probably more than a necessary amount to have at anyone time... (WRONG)

I myself fully agree you are running low and need to re stock immediately!!
Please refrain from pysl as this May result in pure waste of perfectly fine urine to be used to POAS as you have mentioned

Tanya you need to stop encouraging new members to POAS!! It's not healthy
But you are correct in wishing raspberry two lines .. Again encouragement

Ok we need to encourage a healthy way to lessen our addiction.....
I haven't a clue at all, any feedback will be taken on board and probably thrown out! POAS is Fine and we have a problem... Trying to help myself and getting nowhere fast.... Except the loo! holding my test like the Olympic flame

 

[Tui]

I got a bunch of opks through the post that I had ordered a month ago and forgotten about. So before I send them to you BM I thought I had better test one to see if it worked. Didn't want to send you duds! Well the test line came up immediately and stole the dye from the control guess they do work as hpts!

Oh and when I had my appointment with my midwife a while back, she said "right, I need you to poas for me, do you mind?" So hard not to burst out laughing, I just trotted off to the loo with a huge smile. I had to ask for a cup though, like a true addict!

 

[Bushmumma]

Tui welcome.... I will be in need of serious help once the tests arrive!!
I'm so glad you aren't sending any duds, we couldn't have that!

A little funny when asked by anyone in the medical profession to POAS or PIAC.. Silently your thinking to yourself.... Please please that test didn't work pass me another.. Meanwhile they are stacked in your handbag and you mosey on home laughing your head off as you didn't have to pay for them!

Are you still POAS now?? Apart from testing tests?? Honesty is very important here remember!?

 

[Tui]

I did pee on a IC a week ago, just to see if there was any progression, but they never look any different those ones. Still have FRER left but I'm hoarding it, for what is anyones guess?

I miss POAS but trying to occupy myself by counting down to my first scan. Oh and now looking for a job AGAIN.

 

[RaspberryK]

So I caved and poas last night anyway...
