It's getting close to ovulation time. I still have a ton of IC OPKS to use - which requires PIAC. Well today I PEED ON MY HAND! and it was a BFN to boot!

I'll be so glad when all this TTC business is over!

I know how you feel. I wish I wasn't so cheap and got POAS OPK's instead of PIAC OPK's. The mess is so annoying sometimes....

I guess it's good practice for when we have a baby who's likely to pee on me.

This is why I went and bought wide mouth coffee cup just to use as a pee cup. Its next to impossible to pee on my hand with it. lol

And yes.....I did that a few times when I was using dixie cups! lol

You should get a cheap cup with a handle on it. It's what I use I never make mistakes.

What a way to get a negative OPK...with pee on your hand. That is such a bummer!!!! I hope the next time you stay dry and get a positive, Kimberley. Hey, maybe peeing on your hand is a good sign!!! Before you know it, everyone will be doing it!!!!

It doesn’t matter if I’m PIAC or POAS I either pee on my hand or end up splattering or drip or something!!! I agree it’s getting us ready to be able to take being peed on much better because we are over it now.
BTW- I lost my opk cups so had to switch to dixie cups, which I really don’t like! But not going to buy opk’s because as long as I’m doing IUI they are pointless because of the trigger. I’d use a regular cup, but then I would have to deal with DH complaining about how gross that is…..

LOL - just wait until you are 8 months pregnant and can't see your own feet and then have to pee either in a cup or on a stick for to check for protein in the urine....now that's a challenge!

I prefer PIAC because I cannot aim well enough to POAS! I am always worried that I didn't get it long enough. Once it's in a cup you can try over if you mess up!
