Morning Ladies
So my birthday was last week and DH bought me a Acer Tablet with the Android OS. Super nice and I love it. Well last night I spend about 3 hours searching the web about TTC stuff and being on JM.
Well I have to confess – with all this POAS stuff going on and bfp all over the place. I got inspired. I snipped that right in the butt though and did not test. Heck, I am on a natural cycle because of big ovaries last cycle cause of stimes. Well it appears that I am a little out of whack now because I never got a positive opk this cycle but had plenty of EWCM. We didn’t even BD hardly at all during what would have appeared to be my fertile window because I wasn’t getting positive opk’s and frustrated. I wasn’t making any moves on DH and he wasn’t making any on me either so we just didn’t BD like we should have. Well today would be cd28 and 14DPO IF I would have possible had my positive OPK before I started testing. I have no cramps or anything, but I am cranky today and emotional last night so AF is going to be here soon. So that makes me a little blue, but I am getting used to it I suppose.
Okay I got off the subject – well all that POAS made me POAS this morning. I had one HPT that I’ve had for months so I did it. I POAS. UGH! Of course it was BFN but I knew that. I am more mad that I POAS. I hate POAS. You ladies and your POAS obsessions are rubbing off on me. Even while I was POAS I knew it would be BFN and I had to laugh at myself that I was doing it. I POAS jumped in the shower and thought the entire time how I was going to take a picture to get it posted cause that is the next step to a POAS obsession. LOL Here all this time, I thought I could get you ladies to stop wasting money and POAS but here you’ve pulled me the other way. I have heard that POAS is like cr@ck, you do it once you can’t stop. I think it may be true because I SWEAR THAT **** STICK HAS TO BE WRONG and it’s BROKEN. IT JUST HAS TO BE!
So what site do you guys use to buy the IC HPT? ( I can't believe I am even asking this)

IC = Internet Cheapie
I get mine off Amazon, I think the actual name is called Wondfo, but they are the pink packets and cost like $5 for 25 tests.  Enjoy your addiction!

Yessssssssssssssss! I knew it was just a matter of time until you caved 
I always get mine here: Pregnancy Tests Strips
I have to admit, though, after seeing my ICs this time, I was ready to try the Wondfo ones instead.

So after giving it the "24" hour rule I decided I wouldn't POAS till CD31. I am CD29 with no idea of when/if I o'd.
Do you guys know what the "24" hour rule is? It's not to be confused with the 30 second rule for when you drop food on the floor.
24 hour rule is giving yourself 24 hours to "think" about something before you do it. So if you're like totally fired up about something - it's sometimes better to think about it for 24 hours before you open your mouth and insert foot. I use it often in my marriage and at the office. It's stopped me from choking many of people! lol

Oh, yes! I use it for online shopping I let things sit in my online shopping cart for 24 hours before I finalize a purchase just to be sure I really "have" to have it. It has probably saved me millions of dollars...okay maybe not millions, but thousands for sure.
