want to POAS just to do it?  Rich and I were at Wally World on Sunday and I wanted to buy a pregnancy test just to take the test.  I know I'm not preggers but I still just wanted to do it. 

Am I the only insane one that feels the urge to POAS just because?

    No, I totally had that!  The first couple months we were TTC, I POAS even though I was sure I wasn't pg, just to try it out.  MH laughed at me when I got my period the next day.

    I always want to POAS, but because we're TTC, I only do it at times when I think I'm likely to get a true result, and buying them all the time is annoying and expensive.

    TTC since 08/2010
    Anovulatory since at least 12/2010 (probably longer, unDx)

    I always want to POAS the week before I get my period because sometimes it's hard to differentiate between pregnancy symptoms and PMS for me lol - I have convinced myself I am pregnant before and then my period was late cuz I was stressed which made me even more convinced I was pregnant lol

    Dats, I learned about the internet cheapies from the GP board, but they just call them ICs.  I bought 25 for about $4 from Amazon, and they work perfectly fine.  Because they're so cheap, I didn't feel bad about wasting a few while we were on the trip, to help it sink in for MH.  The brand I bought is Wondfo.

    Yeah, I'm the complete opposite. I NEVER want to POAS. Even when my period is late and I'm freaking out a little, I push it off. Ignorance is bliss and all that. If I were TTC, I imagine it would be a different story. And H would get mad at all the tests I bought.

    I think i'm starting to get to the point where I don't enjoy peeing unless it's on a stick of some sort.  Indifferent

    BUT, we're TTC, and I'm charting and all that jazz, so I'm POAS for ovulation and pregger tests.

    I used to POAS all the time before I realized my period only came every 52 days, not 26.  Then I would forget when I last had it, freak out and POAS.  But I don't do it for the hell of it, waste of $$

    QOA I am the same way. I have to convince myself to POAS even when I probably should be. Infact I probably should do this now but I have to talk myself into. its really bad I don't know what my problem is.

    I only knew the acronym cuz we had a post about it a while back.  Everytime I see POAs I think Power of Attorneys.  I must work too much...

    Me too, Brew!  And I'm not even in an industry where I would commonly see/use that term. :-)

    QOA - I'm with you.  Ignorance is bliss.
