How do you check your pregnancy tests?!

Just a quick question to satisfy my curiosity Grin
How do you all check your pregnancy tests?!
Do you POAS and then ignore it for 3 minutes then go back to it?
Or do you watch it the whole time to see if the line appears?

I know I know, too much time on my hands....

Every time I've had a positive the line has come up immediately and not had to wait, so I've seen it appear before my eyes.

We were so convinced I wasn't pregnant that I actually forgot to check it for about 20 minutes! it was just sat on the windowsill and I only remembered when I went in to empty the bin!

I stuck it in my pee as I was peeing and the cross appeared as I wee-ed (I was 8 weeks pregnant it turned out and late to the testing party so lots of hormones to be making crosses) so no waiting needed..

I did it, then covered the screen (clearblue digital one), I counted for the 3 minutes, then checked it.

Haha! All being well (fingers crossed!) I'll be POAS myself next weekend.
Obviously I'm just planning ahead to work out what I will do Grin

Both. Grin

I always tell myself to just poas, leave it, and go back after the alloted time. Inevitably I leave it in the bathroom pretend to busy myself for approximately 9 seconds and go back into the bathroom to watch for a line. Grin

I poas and then I covered it with the wrapper, set a timer and went back to bed for 3 minutes. When I went back, I lifted the wrapper and boom! pregnant!
