I don't think I've seen you guys do this much over here, but I have a pr clicky poll, so I'm making it happen.

At what point did you decide to stop peeing on peesticks?

Re: I've decided it's CPW

  • I ask because I'm still peeing on things and don't see myself stopping in the foreseeable future...

  • I had a blood test to confirm the Monday after I found out. I poas Friday then again on Saturday. When I got the confirmation on Monday, I stopped.

  • I actually only had one test and went later that day for a beta, so I stopped after the first test. I definitely would've used more if I had had them though!

  • I would have thought I would have continued to pee on things every day for a week straight but when we found out we were at my IL's summer home so I couldn't continue peeing on sticks every day. I had to hide them in my make up bag and the wrappers I brought to gas stations. By the time we got home it had sunk in and I didn't feel the urge to pee on anything.
    Bummer too, I have like 4 PG tests at home.

  • I used 2 of my 3 pee sticks and then went to the dr. I decided I might as well use the last one so I peed on the stick once more after the RE had confirmed:)
  • I POAS the day before beta and haven't again since. :)

    I used every test I had in my house.  I think it was close to 20.  Check out the pic...that wasn't even all of them.  Also, I had some OPKs in my desk at work that I'd just randomly pee on throughout my pregnancy because it was fun.  Don't feel weird about peeing on a lot of sticks!  Seeing that 2nd line is AWESOME!
    I love this! I think we had ~40-45 tests (DH bought 50 ICs and 3 FRERs on the internet when we started trying because they're cheaper that way...) at the start of this cycle, so I probably won't use all of them... BUT, that said, I've already peed on I think 9-10 ICs, 2 FRERs, and two of the four digis that we just *had* to go out and buy Saturday night. I'm collecting BFPs in my bathroom now. The lines are so pretty! And they get prettier every day!

    Yep.  Exactly.  Those lines are VERY pretty!  I saved all of the ones I took that first week or so.  They're currently in a ziploc along with all of our u/s pics.

  • FFC:  I still have my pee sticks from last May (2013) when we found out we were pregnant with P.  I peed everyday until my betas were strong enough.  So maybe 5 sticks?  Maybe 6?

  • I think I stopped peeing on things after our first u/s (7w).

    I peed between beta #2 and #3 because there was a whole week in between them, and it felt like longer!

  • I only peed on one stick. I never tested while ttc and I wanted to test once and only once.

    I have tested twice since having Ben, when my cycles were off with nursing. But when I go back to ttc, I hope to only poas once. But I have really really short cycles with 9-11 day LP, so it's easier to know what's going on.
