POAS therapy group

Oh I'm sorry. It's such a tough addiction. I now have sharp cramps which I'm talking myself into believing are implantation pains. Craziness always descends at this time of the month....

Ivy try these ovulation tests at Amazon if you're after cheapies.

Depending on how many you want you can get 3 x 30 for £13.99... however I'm not sure I could face 90 sticks. It feels either defeatist or like you might be stuck with about 60 of them when you get up the duff

They also do super cheap early pregnancy tests (the 10miu ones) about 10 for £2.50 etc...

With both tests you have to pee in a jar and then hold the teststick in the pee for 10 secs (once wee is room temp), so it's not quite a case of POAS but my inner scrooge is happy to make a little extra effort and save £££s

me too, did a test today, not due on till sunday and feel terrible as i got a bfn, it completely reuined my day

Please can I join?

Despite swearing on a stack of bibles that I would not POAS this month until AF was late lo and behold I've gone and done it today on day CD26/31. A BFN of course and am now sad. :-(

I seem to be unable to walk past the Boots by my work without going in and today First Response were buy one get one free.....

I have been on the internet and get 30 ovulation sticks for 5.99 and free deivery, i was a bit weary of ususing them and used the exspensive ones along side them and they gave exactly the same result, so this month i only used them!!!

They also do 30 pregnancys strips for 5.99 free delivery.

Omg and also i found on ebay cheap forst response tests and digital all the real thing etc just a little cheaper, they are so exspensive when you have an addiction lol

I hide my sticks in little cubbyholes, either in my secret handbag pocket or in my cloth nappy stash, where I know my OH won't look - if he knew how many sticks I pee on, I think he'd go mental..
btw, are there any cheapie ov sticks floating around the internet? I can't afford constantly peeing on the expensive clearblue ones.

Hello ladies, how are you all coping with your addictions lol

ha ha love it littlesilver .. only a true addict would do this, i'm right up there with you.

Can I join?

Have very embarassing story to share with feloow poas-ers.

We moved offices last week. Needing a wee (am currently into the 2ww), I sat on the loo and immediately started assessing wc for poas-friendliness. I thought, hmm, plenty of room on windowsill to lay out test whilst I obsess wash my hands, and then perch and check hpt. Also is under natural light, which is good.

Maybe we could bring out a POAS-friendly loo sticker?

How's everyone holding up?

im not due on for 8 days yet, but i will get in a foul mood nearer af time.

Me too...bad mood for whole day!!!!looking forward to some pink fizzy later

Ohhhhhh another sodding BFN grrrrrr.

ha ha ha .....

Luckily I still have some resemblance of self control, I only POAS once yesterday and once today - admittedly yesterday I was only 4dpo and am 5dpo today. So what? It's not like I have a problem or anything......

ha ha ha ha ladies you have really made me laugh.

So far today i have done 4!!! what a wolly, but i will tell myself to wait till wednesday but i will do it again tommorow.

Hello my name is rainbowdays

It has been 19 days since I last POAS.
I started POAS 8 years ago, at first I thought it was harmless as so many others do it without a problem, But then last year I realised I was POAS twice a day, It took time to admit that I have a problem and that I needed help. I am so pleased to have the support of POAS-anonymous!

Hmmmm

Anyone getting just as addicted to peeing on ovulation sticks? For some reason my handbag has a range of such sticks floating around in it so as to feed my addiction whilst at work. Terribly embarrassing when you are trying to find rail pass or other such item and out pops stick

My name is oiseau and I have POAS addiction:

Typical morning 10dpo in oiseau house:
7am: Not going to poas till 14dop am strong sensible woman
7.02am: what harm would it do if I did? it its -ve there is still chance if +ve will be brill
7.03: No - am strong sensible woman
7.05: But really what harm would it do if I did?
7.06: Rummage around back of sock draw where they have been hidden so I will "forget about them"
7.07: No - am strong sensible woman
7.08: POAS
7.09: guilt and shame, am not strong sensible woman at all, am addict

there is no saving me lol

go save your selves whilst you still can

no - certainly not!! Besides, its not addiction (and thank you amazon assisting in keeping the cost low!)

xkaty cheapie internet ones... they are like the worse of the worse in terms of addiction (she says whilst comparing to lowest form of drug addiction glue sniffing!)
This group is for you..... hee hee

Oneof8 ... I hope you are not thinking of resorting to petty crime to fund your addiction?!

I have 30 i got the cheapo ones of ebay, i can test 5 times a day of i want .. really doesnt help my addiction!!!

it's not a problem for me either liahgen66 (as long as i have the funds to cover my needs)

I can stop anytime I want...
