Do you have tests ready to go or do you buy them as needed? Do you hide them from DH or are they in plain sight?

What is your brand of choice and how many do you have stashed just waiting to be peed on?

I usually start with a stash of IC's, FRER's, and EPT's and then buy as needed after I run out for the month. Mine are in plain view. I think Dave *likes* my addiction. I guess because he wants a baby just as bad as I do. My POAS addiction keeps me sane. It makes TTC less frustrating for me. I know I must be

You crack me up Bobbie...that's why I love you!

I have 2 OPK's left from the 7 pack that I bought this week. They are in my *female drawer* that also houses our TP, so he does see those.

I also have 5 $1 store tests and one ??something else?? in the cabinet. Those are hidden in the back, and dh doesn't usually get to know about those unless he asks...

It works that way for us

Haha I've never used OPKs and I use FRER and $store HPTs. I have been hiding a few $ tests so DH doesn't think I'm nuts! I don't have any tests right now, in fact I used my last FRER today (I just had to be sure )

I still have 5 opk's left and 2frer. But I will be buying more opks next week because I am going to test twice a day so hopefully I can catch that eggie sooner!!! I just keep them in our bathroom cabinet. I know dh sees them. He doesn't say anything. Bobbie you are so funny can't wait to see you full cabinet.

They are stashed in a cabinet ready to use. Dh could theoretically see them if he needs to get some TP since that's kept in there too. But usually I'm the one who changes out the roll.

I've got 3 cheapies from the lab I work at, 2 cheapies from ebay that are supposedly sensitive to 10 uL (those are the 2 types I have been testing with each time), 1 dollar store, 1 Answer early result, 2 Clear Blue +/-, 2 Clear Blue digitals, and 1 FRER. I've kinda been saving the best tests for when I get a BFP or think I may have a BFP.

Opks are kept in another cabinet so I don't confuse them with the pg tests, I have 2 Answer OPKS, 11 of the "good" cheapies, and 16 of the "not so good" cheapies, which is what I've been burning through this month.

My DH is right there with me this cycle. He knows when I go to POAS sometimes, like last night. I think he isn't nearly as nutty about it as I am, but I know he is interested to know when OPK's come up positive, etc.

They are in complete full view. I actually have the last 3 OPK's sitting on the counter so I have something to compare to in case it starts getting darker!!
