I can understand POAS once a month to see if you're pg or not! I thought this was about POAS multiple times after you get an obvious BFP. that I'll never understand tbh, but maybe because I can't afford it. Pregnant is pregnant!

Amanda, I'm totally with you - I don't see myself ever being not baby hungry. And I have had periods when I've had a bunch of IC's in my bathroom just tempting me...

$1 test work just fine. I took three $ test before I went out to get a Digi and FRER, then back to $ test. I was so terrified of another miscarriage that seeing that line helped my nerves even though I was puking 3-4 times a day.LOL

Dawn, this inexpensive availability of tests is just fuel on the fire for those POAS addicts, ha! I seriously want to buy tests all the time and I'm sure I wouldn't if tests were all still over $8 like they used to be.
