How to evaluate your score:

0: Afraid of POAS

1-3: Safely out of the danger zone.

4-6: You enjoy POAS in a way that makes your friends feel like they might have miss-judged your character.

7-9: Certified Addict

10: Perhaps you ought to check in with your doctor.... They have an endless supply of PG tests there you know.

This is for you, Amanda - egging everyone on to POAS! What are your signs of symptoms of POAS addiction? Withdrawl from not POAS for more than 2 months at a time?

[Mami]

Well I am safely out of the danger zone. I should be since I am done officially.

[anothermother]

I only clicked 4 of them, lol! I thought I was much more of a POASer than this test seems to prove. Although, ask me 2-3 years ago and it was much worse than it is now. I sometimes go MONTHS now without POAS! I'm proud of myself.

Ok, really how can anyone having sex not freak out sometimes!? I know people that waited 3-4 years into marriage without POAS, wow, they must have great faith in their BC!

Very easily, it's called infertility The ONLY time I've EVER POAS was when I was late. I haven't been on BC since I was 25, which would be 17yrs ago. Wow. Now...ever since our little blonde/blue eyed "boo" happened, we do use condoms LOL

So I checked none of these

[bettyearl]

So, my little "test" here doesn't mean you're really afraid of POAS Dawn, I was just trying to be funny. We all know Laura is better at these things.

[anothermother]

Sorry, I didn't mean to be insensitive to that. I'm just talking more about those that don't have an infertility problem and have just never taken one just cuz, even though they are able to get pregnant. I know 2 girls that only used pg tests the first time the month they got pregnant and never before. I just hate not knowing those couple days before AF is due even with BC.

[DawnC]

Not insensitive, Christine! Just an example of those of us that aren't addicts, for obvious reasons LOL

Definitely WOULD be VERY afraid to take one at my age, thankyouverymuch

[Celry]

I'm with Dawn on this one. The only times I've ever tested was when I was actually prego. I usually don't even keep tests in the house. The whole 21 months we were ttc A&E I only tested two cycles and I was prego both. Same thing this time. Why waste the money every month when you know it's going to be negative?

[Amylizz]

Def not a poas addict! I poas and got a BFN. Six days later I poas and got my BFP. then I got it confirmed by doc. Done 2 tests. that's it!

[sugary~snails]

I checked them all

[ftnjn]

I only tested when I felt pregnant or trying very very hard. I went from 2000-2003 without POAS wasn't trying, then in 2003 got a surprise then lost her, then started testing in Nov 2003-Jan 2004 even after my positive with Nick I POAS 14 times in the first 7 weeks, with Jon wasn't trying I just took the test so I could start provera to jump start my period. When TTC Norah I think I tested 35 times in 10 months and 15 from the first BFP until I was 8 weeks.

[bettyearl]

I checked them all

I KNEW it! lol

No, SERIOUSLY, you have had DH POAS?????

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that pregnancy tests down there obviously don't cost $8/test???!

that one may have been his idea

[anothermother]

^^^^




Dawn, FRER are 2/$10 sometimes 3/$10 if they have the special packaging. If I'm testing a lot I usually get IC's though.

[DawnC]

IC's?

[anothermother]

Internet Cheapies--- just the strips, they are like 20/$5.

When I found out I was pregnant with Ben, I was in Wyoming and this dollar-type store had tests on for a dollar. In a box, like a clear blue test on for a dollar. I bought some for my girlfriend, and poas pretty much for a laugh because I'd been feeling like AF was coming for like a month, and was pregnant.

I am a POAS-a-holic. AND am proud to say I receive just as much satisfaction from someone else POAS as when I do

[bettyearl]

See, look how cool my state is! Wyoming is the bomb! How funny that you found out like that when you didn't even really think you'd get a BFP.
