Addicted to POAS?

Argh, I can't stop myself poas! I've done so many tests in the last 4 days it's driving me bonkers. Anyone else struggling to believe they are pregnant/pregnant still?

I'm very tempted to give all my tests to a friend so that I don't carry on - I've done over 12 already. :-/

You are pregnant. Now step away from the pee sticks Grin

Exactly the same. Although I only had four at my disposal. And going out to buy more seemed a little crazy!

I wasn't quite that bad but I did one a day for the first week and then one every so often for the next few weeks. It takes ages to sink in and I didn't fully believe it until I felt movement and the bump appeared. However, my symptoms through the first trimester were a lovely reminder!!

Me - I had 6 negatives before I got my bfp and despite a very clear bfp I felt the need to poas a few days later just to check it was still there and getting clearer - total waste of money but it is so addictive!!

Huge congrats to you xxx

Might as well pee on all the ones you've got, but don't buy any more!

FoodieMum3 · 09/04/2014 11:40

LOL. Step awaaaaaay from the tests Grin

(Says she who tested last week at 17 weeks, but it was after a thread here asking if pregnancy tests work in the second and trimester) Blush

I think if you're used to months and months of bfn's it's just so exciting to finally see 2 pink lines, congratulations Smile

I'm 5weeks +2 and I'm Blush to say I've done over 50 tests and I'm still testing! Although down to one cheapy dipstick a day now. My lines were sooo light I'm obsessed with seeing the progression. I've even had 2 blood tests,doubling nicely Smile but my test line is still not quite as dark as the control and I'm only upto 2-3 weeks on a cb digital. Will stop soon though Blush

SassehMonsta · 10/04/2014 10:53

Phew, thanks Pirate - I don't feel so daft/manic now! :D I did just one the last 2 days, and haven't tested today, but all my lines are soooo light and they aren't getting darker.
