I made this confession over in TTCOM, but figured it would be good to get out here too- since I know there are others affected by this horrible (and sometimes PRICEY$$$$ addiction).

Hi, My name is Samantha and I'm a POAS addict.


I'm currently 3 (maybe 4 depending on the actual time of the actual O) and I am already wanting to test. Actually started to grab a test this morning before I stopped myself.



(if you think I kid- with DS I have a baggie of 30 tests that I saved- and that is with throwing away the 4 digi's that went blank)

I would probably be the same way if I wasn't such a miser, and lazy.

I don't keep any of them though, since they have urine on them.

I used to take a lot of my dollar store tests but I'm not TTC yet so the only one I have is the positive from when I found out I was pregnant with my miscarriage.

Hi. My name is Missy and I am a recovering addict, however I do slip at times and POAS anyway! I have 10 IC's that I can use this month and that is it. I am no longer allowed to go into the pregnancy/family planning section of any store (especially walmart/Target).

OMG I am a junkie! My DH just called and said he's stopping at the food store on the way home and wanted to know if I wanted anything. i said yes, some Answer pregnancy tests. And, if they don't have those, get me the FRERs (keep in mind my 25 osoms are showing up tomorrow....). LOL So he says, which Answer - there are more than one to choose from. I almost peed my pants. He KNOWS his hpts

Holding pee and will be testing tonight hahaha

This cycle has me all screwed up. If AF doesn't show I'll more than likely be testing and getting a bfn tomorrow morning and being depressed by it. lol

It's the $2 coupons on the FRERs that are doing it. I have 1 from my original box and then another box of 3 I bought today. DH would be sooooooo upset if I started buying them online!
