Ok ladies, I need your help. I am totally out of my stash of cheapo internet HPT's. I have 2 FRER's and 2 digitals. Since those are more expensive, I won't start using them until closer to when AF is due. If I get some more internet cheapies, then I'll probably start testing earlier...and more often. So...should I just stick with what I've got and not become test obsessed this cycle or should I go ahead and order myself a new stash of IC's? I'm doing a poll and whatever the results are, is what I will do. This should definitely show whether or not we have more POAS pushers or more conservative testers on this board. It will be fun to see the results!

Seeing how I am a POAS addict, buy the IC's. I went through over 50 in the last 3 months. In fact, I had 50 IC's and about 3 store brand and 3 FRERs. I never buy digital. I am just cheap like that.

I think you should spend the $9ish dollars and get 50 wondfo test from amazon Sorry we are POAS pushers here

I saw go right to Amazon and buy some more. Although I do admit I have a problem. I just now stopped testing.

[~*Kel*~]

I am going against what I am sure will be the majority and say stick with what you have. I will go one step further even and say don't even test until AF is late. POAS is the one area that I am conservative, I think testing early causes unnecessary anxiety and causes more harm than good, that's just my opinion though.

Sarah you know you won't be able to help yourself, you'll have to test early..lol. I say buy some now.

[*SamF*]

go for it.

[missy123]

I say buy more!!! I actually got my bfp on the wondfo brand before the answer test. (1 day before).

But then again I have some serious issues - I was in the dollar store a few weeks ago and thought about buying a test or 2.

These are the tests I used.

You get 50 for $10... Cheaper than a box of FRER and you can have fun with them.

I voted for "Stick with what you got"... but I'm not even kidding myself... I would buy tons and tons and tons!!!!!

[cheeky_monkey]

I would stick to what you have! If you;ll get a BPF then invest in a lot more

[BeckyBozeman]

You know I feel that I'm being totally practical in saying to buy the cheapos. You know that you're gonna wanna test early, especially if you're having any symptoms. So you might as well have a stash so you're not tempted to run out and buy the more pricey ones. It's a money saving exercise really. Your BF should be glad he has such a frugal gal!!

[Shadeauxe]

Bah. Testing superfluously only adds to anxiety and stress. I would stay with what you have.

too funny...totally go buy some cheapies, are we REALLY debating this??? I just got a 10% off coupon for some of the hpts at Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com let me know if you want it and i'll PM it to you

[dbusenbark]

If spending $10 is going to put your budget over the edge than no. If not then what are you waiting for

[pepper73]

OMG you ladies are seriously cracking me up!! This is hysterical!!! I can see all of you POAS pushers in the aisles of drug stores, subtly calling women over to you and pointing out all of the HPT's and whispering "go ahead, POAS..you know you want to!" Katie, your blinkies are killing me!!

Kel, as much as I would LOVE to, there is nooooooo way I have enough will power to wait until AF is late! I wish I did! You and Courtney are totally right about testing early causing anxiety. That's the main reason why I'm not sure if I'll get a big stash or not.

Becky, your reasoning is very insightful! I hadn't thought of it from that perspective, but it does make a ton of sense. I could actually be saving money if I order a bunch online! You and I should go shopping together. We seem to think along the same lines in terms of "saving money". LOL!

Lara, thank you for the offer but I had a bunch of those tests from earlypregnancytests.com last cycle and they were really confusing me with possible evaps so I think I'll stay away. It sucks too, because I LOVE their OPK's!

I am surprised with the poll results so far. I actually was expecting it to be more of a POAS landslide. We definitely have some more conservative gals here!

[.:Shortcake:.]

Buy them... (buy them).... pOaS
