funny HPT question
Does anyone else feel like a teenager trying to buy condoms when you buy HPT's from the store?
I can feel my face get all red as I approach the cashier like, "yup, there might be a baby in here"

Re: funny HPT question
Ha ha ha, me! Most of time I order online for this reason. I've even made a trip to a store I don't normally go to so I don't have to worry about seeing the same cashier again! I have issues

funny HPT question
LMAO! I totally know what you mean! I always feel embarrassed...
The worst was one time I went to a CVS once and they were locked in a case!! So I had to ask the manager (a middle-aged man) to unlock them and he stood there while i looked at the back of all the boxes and picked one out. I think he was just as mortified as I was!!

I think I would've just left if that was the case!!! Or just bought a pack of gum and a magazine and gone somewhere else haha.
Glad to see I'm not alone

I used to feel that way but after buying them for 2 years I got used to it. I think by the end I was probably waiving them around.

Re: funny HPT question
So we are no TTC now but AF was late, so I stopped last night to get some HPT at a Duane Reade by work (south Bronx). The girl behind the counter is all loud like "Ooooh girrrrrl! Its going to be a good Valentine's Day at your house!" and the other girl is like "Better her than me!" We all were laughing, but I was thinking that could really embarrass someone, lol.
It kind of put me in a funny situation because I had to kind of say if I would be happy or sad if I was pregnant.

Re: funny HPT question
I didn't really have a hard time going up to the counter with my HPT, but I was a little uncomfortable when I was sitting in the "family planning" isle with three different boxes reading the labels with people walking by staring at me.
One time in college I went to a cashier with tampons and ky jelly. If you can do that proudly you can do anything!

My DH and I call it the "no eye-contact aisle." Its the tampon, Preparation H, yeast-infection cream and lube aisle. There is one Rite Aid I won't go to because the "no eye-contact aisle" is in the the front of the store, where the line to checkout forms.

Re: funny HPT question
When I first started TTC, yea, I was a little  when buying them.
These days...
I have no problem whatsoever!
DH was extremely embarrassed when he went to the $$ store with me with our last IUI because I wanted to test out the trigger shot.
I bought about 14 tests. I walked up to the cashier with them under my chin, falling all over the place.

Re: funny HPT question
When I went to buy my pregnancy test, I was more nervous about running into someone I know at the store.... I bought a bag of pretzels & a drink to hide the test with as I walked around I also went before work at like 730 in the morning, and went to the Duane Reade several blocks from my job (even though there are closer ones) to minimize the chances of seeing anyone I know.
As for the cashier, since I didn't know her I really didn't think much of it, but she double-bagged the test for me without having to ask so I thanked her & she gave me a little wink like she understood.
