:lol after getting my first positive i made my dh go out and get a different brand just so i could make sure it wasn't a fluke...lol....so i've only peed on two sticks thus far, but i have a couple left i'll probably save for next week...what is it about those two lines that is comforting?? :loveeyes:

:bag: Six or seven and I still have three left. :hide:

After all this time TTC it just feels good to know that my pee really can make two lines appear. :lol

I'm trying to space them out, so I don't go broke! I've only done one. I'll use another if I start getting too paranoid. :eyes

Two when we first tested, when my period was two days late. Then one several days later when I had a fluke low temp and some spotting. I'll probably use the last one when I get home on Saturday.

I'm not a POASaholic. If I had been charting this whole time, instead of just the last few cycles, I might never have used any before this time.

I just took my fifth this morning. I bought 25 internet cheapies so I could satisfy my testing urge during the 2ww.

I still just can't believe I'm pregnant. :dizzy: :thumb

Only one so far. I have been thinking about getting some more tests though. You know, just to check :innocent

I did two last week right when AF was late, and then one on Saturday because I was getting neurotic. :dizzy:

hehehe, yeah i know...see i haven't even gotten to the day i was supposed to get my period yet (tomarrow) i'm still dead set that i was pregnant with my fourth pregnancy when i went in to the doc. office (saw enlarged uterus and thick walls, but no yolk sac) b/c i got DARK lines on both my tests, and it usually takes a while for me to do that...but until i go to the doc i'll just stick with the last time i spotted...hehehe...and take like a bazillion more tests :lol

POAS addict here, too many to count...

they were mostly dollar tree tests though, I had 4 of another brand which I got my earliest positives on.

I haven't POAS in almost two weeks though! So proud, what an accomplishment.

One on father's day hoping for a present--it was too early. One the next Friday and there was a faint line. One the monday after and there was a stronger line. Then one at the doctor's office.

4 total.

Well, I was pretty sure I was pregnant at 9 DPO-- so I foolishly tested. Got a negative. The next day (Father's Day) I was feeling REALLY sure so I tested at midnight (tried to wait for the morning pee but couldn't wait!) and got a +. Then I took another the next day . . .and made DH buy three more. So, six total! I still feel like getting another, though, since I know it'll be the last time I ever get to see those 2 lines. :lol

The first 2 dh refused to belive. So I made him go get some more just to prove it. Then I took one and he couldn't deny it, but he said, "I wish it were darker." So I waited another day and took another one and it was darker. :lol I think hes more of a poas addict than I am!

4. I took one on cd 37, it was negative (I miscarried recently & my cycles are normally longish, so it didn't seem odd, but I wanted to test anyway :p). I took one in the afternoon on cd 44? It was veeeeeeeeeery faintly positive -- I thought it might be my imagination. I figured one the next morning would be clear enough. Nope. Still am-I-imagining-it faint. So I tested again on cd 46, and it was clear enough that I knew it was for real.

OMG, I don't feel so crazy after reading this thread. I took two over the weekend (one Sat, one Sunday) and then another one today because I couldn't really believe it and I wanted to make sure. I used a different brand, because, you know, the other two were from the same box so they could both have the same defect, right???

I confess that I'm a bit of a POAS addict here, and also a lab rat in a former life so I love watching the lines appear and all that. I think I'm done, though. I'm really (almost) convinced it's true... *grin*

6 now. Ha. I'm obsessed. Well I have to keep convincing myself that it isn't a fluke!
But one of them was the digitial one and it turned off and the word "Pregnant" is gone now so I don't think that counts anymore.

Am I gross or does anyone else keep them around? I only did one with DD and I still have it 2 years later.

I have all three sitting in the medicine cabinet. The dollar tree will probably go in a memory box, and either the first or second (darker) of the internet cheapies will go in a journal or baby book. I don't think it's gross at all.

Since Wednesday (now Saturday) I have done 3. I just get the Dollar Tree ones so I'm only out $3 :) I think I'm done now.

I had to test because of the progesterone supplements. The first few came up very faintly positive (at 10, 11 and 12 DPO). I couldn't really believe it, I went through a LOT of sticks. . too many to count. At 14 DPO it was still faint, but certainly positive. Yesterday I broke down and got another box because I was having a hard time waitng for my first beta level results to come back. It was a reall BFP nice and dark yesterday at 16 DPO.

Just hoping my numbers are going up and going up.

I have taken two tests. The first one I took on monday, the second on wednesday. The line on the first one was pretty dark, but i got a couple of comments (by people who have no idea what they are looking at) that it was light- and that made me nervous and question myself. So I took the second one- and it is almost or as dark as the control line, so that made me feel better- to see it getting darker.:thumb Im done testing now. I feel pregnant so I know that I am.

Two for me. Both were instantly and unmistakably positive. I did, however, feel like going to buy more, but resisted the impulse.

I did 4. 2 the week before AF because I lost track of when it was suppossed to be here (whoops...of course they were negative) and 2 a couple of days after I was late...only one was positive, the other was a dud. The next morning they had both turned positive.

With my other 3 kids, I just bought a box of 2 and took them both...they were all positive.

2 - one the day I my pd was due and one today because so many of you are having symptoms and I have none so I (irrationally) got worried. man, I got a dark line today!

I had terrible ms with my other two so it is probably just a matter of time

07-14-2006, 01:01 AM

Just 1 today!

It was a $ store cheapie so I was shocked to see it get so dark!!:lol

I plan on buying more....lots more! But DH said I should wait for Sunday! :dizzy:

We'll see how long that lasts! muh-ha-ha-ha! :W

My dh will think this is SO funny. He has said we should own stock in a pregnancy test company. But he's also said if it were HIS body, he'd want to know ASAP, too. I've used two this month. Both negative. Blood test at the birth center yesterday. I get the results this afternoon.

I took 2 on monday and I haven't taken any since. I still have my test from when I was pregnant with DD. I don't think it's weird...it's memorable!

One, though I bought a pack of two, so I have one sitting in my bathroom talking to me every time I go in there. I will save it to use if I ever feel like I need to "know" again or if I want some entertainment. I hear their shelf life isn't that long, so I don't want it to go to waste, waiting for the next time around...:loveeyes:
