I'm crazy!

I have an almost overwhelming urge to POAS. It is waaay too early to test and I don't even have a lot of hope for this month, so why am I so eager to POAS? All I have are two First Response tests, and they are too expensive to use up just to appease my insanity.

How early can I reliably test? AF isn't due until the 18th. Save me from myself!

You should try to wait until the 13th if you are due on the 18th, try to be strong!!

Thanks girls! I'm stepping off the ledge now. I don't do the ebay thing because I can't keep up with my paypal account, so I'm not even sure I can remember the password. That is the main way you pay for things on ebay, isn't it? I know, I'm probably the only person who doesn't 'ebay'. I will maybe have to look into it, though.

madmum_sarah · #8 October 9th, 2008, 09:14 AM

you dont ebay

yep paypal is the main way to pay. you defo need to get it sorted! its the best way for keeping on top of the poas need and just think of all the wonderful things you can buy from there WHEN you get that

ditto on all of that LOL

Yeah, you need some cheapies!! lol. I buy mine from Early-pregnancy-tests.com, though some people don't like them. Saveontests.com is another option as well at babywishes.org. I think their prices are even lower.

..Jessica.. · #11 October 9th, 2008, 09:52 AM

Wait until the 14th or 15th to test using FRER. I don't use the cheapies, so I can't comment on buying them!

Good luck!!!

I agree DONT WASTE YOUR FREDS!! lol

I buy mine from earlyperganancy.com and in Canada saveontests.com

You want to POAS because you're on TTCAL, and it's a disease that rages around here that is VERY contagious!!

I got cheap tests at the Dollar Tree. Not as cheap as some internet ones, but if you have a dollar store nearby, at least you wouldn't have to wait until the shipment got to your house!

Good luck honey!

I'm really starting to think I'm losing it. I am reading too much into everything. For instance, my waist seems thicker like it was when I was two months pregnant with Eva, but I know that I'm just (apparently!) putting on weight. It's probably the afternoon shift. I always eat more junk when I am on afternoons. And, I am reading too much into the fact that I'm sick. I never get sick. I think between my son and Eva, I had one cold. With both of my pregnancies I had a cold almost from start to finish. But again, it doesn't really mean anything. I've never wished a long weekend away before, but I am now, because I can't wait to test!

jenn27 · #15 October 10th, 2008, 06:39 AM

Well i hope all these signs you think you may be thinking to much into.....I hope they are for real and when you decide to test, i hope you see that beautiful BFP. If you want to POAS though early, i would definately recomment getting some cheaper ones from somewhere other than those FRER's. G/L to you and I hope that you have some very exciting news really soon. Have a great weekend.
