I went to the $Tree yesterday and bought 10 tests It makes me embarrassed to buy so many at once, but I NEED them....lol! Plus, they're only a dollar....Usually I only buy like 6 at a time, but I didn't want to have to go back too soon.

What's the MOST you've bought at once? How many do you USUALLY buy at a time?

Ummm..... I plead the fifth!






Seriously.... I buy a couple boxes of good ones when I am at the store during the 2ww. Dollar store..... the most I have bought at once is 12 ...I think I tend to try to go to Wal-Mart when the pharmacy is closed. I think they must think I am nuts because sometimes I go back the next day if I peed on all of the ones I bought the day before.

I have to say that the ones I bought on Ebay are just as good (so far) as the dollar store and are about 45 cents each. I bought 25 for $10.99 (including shipping).

Man now I feel like I need to pee on something..... OPK here I come!!!!!!

Um, well, I've never really TTC'd a long time. So, 5 is the most I've bought at once, and that was my first cycle (unsuccessful) ttc Erin. I bought 5 one day and 5 the next and started POAS at 7dpo. Yeah, and then I started my period and I was SO STRESSED and upset the whole time poas without a line that I decided I wouldn't poas until after AF was due the next month. I still didn't get a bfp until at the Dr when AF was 4 days late and it was SO LIGHT.


So, now I only buy them to amuse myself really, because I'm a pregochondriac and I'd drive myself crazy with symptoms if it weren't for hpts telling me I am imagining things. So I buy 2 or 3 at a time.

I think the most has been 2 or 3, but I'm sure hanging around this board will convert me into a POASaholic(especially once I start charting)!!

The most I baught at one time was 8 after my MC because I wanted to know when my lvls were back to normal or close to it. I wish there was a dollar tree around here because I would go crazy buying them. I bid on some yesterday on ebay it was 10 but forgot to watch my bid and lost (prob to someone on here) lol.

I usually buy 5 dollar store tests at a time. I feel wierd enough buying 5 and already feel like everyone is staring at me (even when there's NO ONE in the store!), I can't imagine buying more at one time...

I never knew about the dollar tree cheapies before coming here, so I am sure once I am officially TTC, this number will go up. But, I usually buy the box of 3 Answer HPT's one at a time.

The most I bought was 6 at the dollar store and that was last cycle. I was so embarrassed but I was obsessing that month and the check out lady said, "so do you just want to be sure?" and then I had to explain that I was only like 4 dpo and I test way too early.

DH was so glad when I discovered the Dollar Tree tests. Before that, I would hide the tests after I took them b/c he always gave me a hard time about being too impatient with such pricey tests. Now, he doesn't care if I POAS multiple times a day. The most I've ever been brave enough to purchase at once is about 5... I just feel so odd at the checkout.

This thread makes me just want to go to Wal-Mart and buy 20 just to see if I get any strange looks....

Maybe I have POAS addict written all over me? Because no one has even raised an eyebrow at me and my tests.
