GTKY Poll: How many sticks have you peed on?

[Deleted]

2.

The first one I peed on I fully expected to be negative(iud). When I was positive DH said I almost passed out. The next morning I peed on another right before I called my Dr for an urgent removal of my iud.

8- a combo of cheapies, store brand, and expensive digitals. Once I got my first beta back, I never peed on one again.

[seeingstars]

Lots of expired wondfos and splurged on one expensive stick just to make sure.

I peed on things until I got a line as dark as the test, or at least close. So like 7ish. I might pee on things occasionally until my 8 week appointment. Is that weird? The lack of big symptoms like morning sickness makes me nervous still.

I'm with you that the lack of morning sickness has me worried. I was really pretty sick with DS. I just keep telling myself every pregnancy is different.

I'm a crazy person with three consecutive miscarriages. I peed on all the things. Once I ran out of hpt's I started with leftover opks. I only stopped because once I was darker than the control line I didn't think they would tell me much.

I'm sure I'll regret asking for morning sickness, but my mom was sick through all hers, so I'm wondering where it's at. But you are right, each pregnancy is different, and it's still a little early so it might still hit us like a truck a little later

7 (3 fancy, 4 wondfos) and I'll probably keep peeing on wondfos once a week until my appt in August. The fancies were just because I oddly do but don't trust wondfos alone. I needed confirmation. One fancy was a digital to show DH so he wouldn't tell me he couldn't see the line.

[daisylola11]

2 cheap and 2 fancy over here. Once the digital said yes then I stopped.

I didn't get any morning sickness w DS, I'm hoping I don't w this one but I'm still expecting the worst since it's so early on.

[bluedaisy0627]

3, including two digitals in an attempt to figure out how far along I am. Because apparently, I'm far too impatient to wait until next week.

[danvers]

A lot. But I started testing super early (like 10 dpo and got a faint squinter somewhere like 12 dpo) and had a bunch of Internet cheapies left since this was our first month trying. I did buy an digital test too. I have my first appt tomorrow and it's like I needed the confirmation before I go? Or reassurance that I am still pregnant (I get the tests do not prove anything other than my body has elevated levels of hpt). Basically, I peed on an embarrassing number of tests. Early FFFC?

[britab]

3. First one was a squinter, then a couple days later a clear positive and today the line is darker. All dollar store tests.

I had a chemical pregnancy before my DD so I feel like I need to verify a few times.

[muskiefan]

Too many already I think. I got the faintest line at 9 dpo. I'm 12 dpo now. I wish I didn't have AL brain. I know it's out of my control.

AL brain is the worst.

[cosmicav]

I have peed on two this time around. I haven't been as compelled to pee on them this pregnancy because I feel like total shit this time around.

[frenchy816]

Just 2....I used 1 FRER the day I was supposed to get my period and clear as day it was positive! I bought a 3 pack of FRERs so I used a 2nd last night and will probably use a 3rd next week. With DS I was peeing on all the sticks, now, I have 3 and that's all I will use!

[nobb14]

Haters to the left I've basically spent my husbands salary on pregnancy tests. Mostly because of my late positive BUT since my beta woes I dished out the dough for weeks estimators. I still have one left that I'll probably take Monday for shits and giggles before my RE ultrasound.

I am all for people peeing on all the things for fun or reassurance... as long as it won't shit on their whole day if they don't love the result (light lines etc).

I'm usually a pee pusher (pee on all the things!!), but this time around I only peed on 2. The second was like 30 minutes after the first just to make sure it wasn't a false positive.

I'm feeling eerily zen about this pregnancy. It's so weird because last time I was freaking out, even though I didn't have a history of loss, and I was stupid sick the whole time. This time I have a history of loss and no symptoms, and I'm not worried at all. Do I need to get my head checked?

I'm much more positive about this pregnancy too. At least so far. I think it's because I know that I've handled the worst and survived (barely, sometimes). I also have found mediation to be helpful in calming fears when they raise their ugly heads.
