How long do you keep a bfn around before you finally throw it away?

Does it go right in the trash or do you keep it around to stare at for a while?

I throw them away after about 10 mins. But I do sometimes go back and hunt them out to peek at them again.

Its hard to give up that hope that a second line will show.

They usually get tossed that day..after I've looked at it several times.

That depends. If DH is home they hit the trash pretty quick, but if he's not home it stays around for a few hours because I am always curious to know if there will be some miraculous change to it or a line that I had missed previously. LOL

I usually keep mine for a while to. I have tried to throw them away but I kept digging them out. If it is start white it is gone in about 6 hours if there is even a hint of a line then it stays till the next morning.

I still have my BFP from Jessie (13) and and Paige....lol I know I am sooo bad.

I throw them away with in about 20 mins. After they have been throughly inspected & obsessed over. Once I've looked at it at every angle & under every light in my house... in the trash they go.
