Is this wierd or is it just me?

I'm watching Birth Day on Discover Health right now. This woman saved each preg test she took, I think about 5 of them, and put them in a photo album. The actual test. In an album. I took pics of my tests and they're in my scrapbooks, but I find this odd.

Re: Is this wierd or is it just me?

  • That is weird and icky. I wouldn't want to look at someone's album and come across their actual pee stick!

  • eek!

    A friend of ours did the same AND had the imbilical cord. sick, sick, sick. If any of you did that, i'm sorry but it gives me the heebie jeebies.

  • Mine sat on the dining room table for a couple weeks before being thrown away.  I realize this is disgusting, but we don't eat at the table.  ;)

    I think I just had to have visual reminders each day.  


    After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!

    I didn't throw mine away for a few weeks either. I kept checking to make sure there was really a line.

  • Sorry but that's just yucky. I mean saving the pee sticks and scrapbooking them. I'm with you Becki, take a picture and toss the stick. I can understand saving the stick for a few weeks, just because I'm sure it's not really real until you show so you need a reminder but a picture should suffice for a scrapbook
  • That is freaky weird. I kept mine in a ziplock bag in my bathroom for a few weeks. But stopped looking at it once we had our first u/s. I didn't even scrapbook the picture b/c i thought that was more than people wanted to see.
  • I can understand keeping it for a few weeks, but scrapbooking it is weird. I'd take a pic though.
  • I took pics, but I wouldn't keep the real thing.
  • I never took an at home pregnancy test. After my first feeling of "am I pregnant" turned into a big fat no (a couple of months before becoming pregnant) I didn't want to jump to conclusions. It wasn't until the dr. came in saying "well, I know why you've been feeling tired."

  • I still have my tests in a plastic baggie. Eventually I'll throw them away, I just can't part with them yet.

    That is totally weird and gross though.

  • I wouldn't save them. ?Doesn't the line eventually disappear after a few months anyway?
