Just curious, on a scale of 1 to 10, how addicted are you to POAS? 1 being "What's POAS?" and 10 being "I would pee on my keyboard if I thought it would give me two lines!".
I'd say I'm at a nine. OPKs have not helped my obession. I think I can hold out until Friday (11 DPO), but we'll see. I might end up POAS long before then.
And my keyboard is looking pretty enticing...

Yeah...I am right there with you. I have POAS (either OPK or HPT) everyday for the last week or so. It's driving me crazy but I can't seem to stop!

I *was* a 10! POAS at 5dpo anyone? Lol. This time I'm doing pretty good at staying away from my stick collection. Now, I'd say I'm a 5.

I am in the EXACT same boat! I feel like the girl on Juno drinking her weight in Sunny D just to get enough pee to POAS!

 This ain't no etch-a-sketch, home skillet. This is one doodle that can't be undid.
Now I need some Sunny D. Maybe it's lucky. Hahaha!

Definitely a 10! I take a test with apple juice so I'll be sure of where that line will be if I get one. I'm tempted to take an opk just to see two lines, even though I know that means not pg. I took FOUR tests yesterday, even though I was only 8 dpo.

What's poas? ...
Okay so I already went through my stash last cycle just "because" one IC had a "questionable" line and I had to prove it was or wasn't there, with like 10 other tests. Same thing with the cycle before that, stupid "line" on another IC made me waste most of my stash. Dh ask me if I even open the packets anymore, or do I just pee on the package too. So I plan to replenish my stash 1 last time and this time if I don't get 2-3 "lines" on a IC then I wont even bother breaking out the big guns (answers). I'm not falling for the disappearing wondfo evap this time.
One another note dd ask me to wait til her bday to test, and that will be about 10-11 dpo depending on when I O, but I always test before then and I planned on testing at 8 dpo, I hate to know before she does, it would be cool to know together. For those who think it's weird, my dd and I are very close, she's 11. She wants me to take the test and leave it on the bathroom counter so she can tell me the results. I am also thinking she might be disappointed if it's a bfn on her b-day, and to be honest I do have faith that my time will come, but I don't think my time is yet.

I've already decided my last beverage before testing on Friday will be Sunny D. Why not? It can't hurt! Lol! 
When are you testing, LaceyMae? For some reason I'm thinking you said Friday, too, but not sure if I making that up... Perhaps you need some Sunny D, too?!

YES! Friday the 13th! Hoping that it's a lucky day! Ha ha! I am totally going to drink some Sunny D! Then if I'm lucky, I might be able to incorporate it into some way of announcing good news!

I have to make sure that I have no OPK's or HPT's just so I won't. I keep them out of my house.

I am a 9 or a 10 too. I bought opks for the sole purpose of seeing two lines... And I used an IC yesterday even though I am on AF (you know, just in case).

That settles it! We are both going to test on Friday the 13th after consuming our body weight (JK) in Sunny D the night before. Lol!

As soon as my AF is gone, I'll definitely be a 9. I can't be a 10 bc then I'd have no way of communicating with you guys 
Plus, I can clean up my child's pee, but I don't want to have to clean up mine also
