POAS Addicts?

Yes,, i am a poas addict, i have started testing at 8dpo. Ridiculous, i know.

Anyway, my two week wait is up this Friday.
I woke up at 2am this morning and POAS AGAIN and it was a BFN.

I am blowing too much money on these tests....so should i try to hold out until tomorrow, or try again tonight.
I ran out of tests, so i have to buy some more.

you shouldnt bother testing at 8 or 9DPO. the chances of a BFP are so low even if you are pregnant. its nearly a complete waste.

Re: POAS Addicts?

You really should try to hold out.

I POAS even thought there was a pretty much zero chance.

But I WAS tired....and bloated...AND cranky, and eating everything.

I get ya, but I have started to JUST wait now. They ARE $$$$$$

My trick is to not have any in the house and not to buy them until I miss AF. But, I have one left over from last month so I'm sure I'll use it way too early!!! Chat Icon

If i don't get a BFP this month, I will definitely do that.
In the meantime, i went out at lunch and bought 4 dollar store tests.
I'll test when i get home again tonight.

Re: POAS Addicts?

this is why i always said i wouldn't poas until i was late...otherwise you just drive yourself crazy and throw money away...i know it's hard to wait until you are late and i know i got lucky by getting a bfp when i tested the first time so i can't really speak from experience when it comes to months of bfns.....

i know the next time around i will need serious willpower, but overall i think it's better to wait it out...i think the testing just causes more stress and anxiousness which isn't good...

I am definitely not an addict. I wait until I am late for my period. Seeing the negative test just upsets me.

Agreed. I bought about a billion a few months ago and still have plenty left. You won't feel so guilty when you can't even remember how much you paid for each one!

Re: POAS Addicts?

I was POAS like crazy, now I limit myself to one box every 28 days. I don't test until I know I'm late now.
