Cup most of the time  and I test with $1 test first and then if there is something I dip an EPT or FRER. I'm obsessed 
You know one time I went to the $1 store and really wanted to test so I went to the bathroom, go the package opened and was all ready and then realized that I didn't have a cup. Can you believe I actually considered peeing into my cupped hand. I promise I didn't do this though when I actually thought about how gross that would be!

LOL Danica!
I always use a cup. I really only buy the $store ones, and with those, you need a cup. But even with the others, I'd rather dip. It's really hard to control your aim...especially after a couple of kids

I've done both, but I prefer a cup. It's a little less messy!
LOL! I used a $ store test in November, in a Subway(sandwich) bathroom. I had no cup to use...so, what did I use?....The lid to a water bottle!! Oh man, that's an over share!

I usually use a cup, I'm afraid I won't get enough on the stick if I don't

ROTFL! That is some talent you have!
Sometimes I pee directly on the hpt but does anyone else have a problem when they get up in the morning that their neck muscles not allow them to bend and look down at that angle? I am just sort of guessing or straining my neck to see!

ROTFL! I love you ladies. No matter what kind of day I'm having, you always crack me up. I'm so glad I found you guys here. Ok, off the mushy stuff now.
I usually POAS, but lately I've been using a cup. I'll do either way.

Usually a cup, but it really depends on what test I have and how lazy I am.

Thank you ladies - now I know I'm not alone  Back in November when I suspected I was pregnant, I couldn't wait to test so I took a $ store cheapie in the Walmart bathroom. My cup - an empty water bottle. Awful, I know, but when you gotta test, you gotta test!
I'm definitely a PIAC person now b/c I have to do multiple tests at a time.

For me it depends on the test. If its a $ store one I use a cup but if its a Mid stream one I just pee on the stick.

Always a cup. I work in a lab so I took a couple of our urine cup things to use for testing.
I had this conversation with my mom about a month ago...she had seen the ClearBlue Easy digital commerical (the most advanced piece of technology you will ever pee on) and she was like "Do you really pee ON it? Wouldn't that be hard to aim?" And I explained the cup method to her.

I always used a cup. I figured I'd either miss or not get enough if I tried to pee directly on the stick. Thankfully for me every time I've tested I've been at home where there are plenty of dixie cups!

I hope you didn't recap! I do both. If it's first thing in the morning and I really have to pee, I can manage the stick. But if it's during the day and I am making myself pee cause I just "have" to check, then I use a cup.

He was our 7th loss  If you would like to see pictures of my sweet (but tiny) boy they can be viewed at www.caringbridge.org/visit/noahdarrohn they aren't the easiest pitures to look at but I am willing to share them with anyone who would like to see them <3

You ladies CRACK ME UP!!! Too funny!
I guess I join the minority...I pee in a cup. I only buy $1 store tests, but I think I would pee in a cup anyways. I have tried directly on the stick in the past and it didn't work too well... lol

Cup or no cup?
