Hello, My name is Kim and i am a pregnancy test addict. Atleast thats what my husband said. I am starting to think he is right. I was due for my period any where from yesterday to today. So far so good but i have to do all i can from taking another test. I took 2 tests about 3 days ago and both were defective i think. LOL. figures but what happened was i think i waited to long to read it or i just peed to much on the stick if that is possible. One took like 12 minutes to get any lines and the other took 10 min. and both tests say dont read after 5 mins. However, i stared at the test and well i saw a faint possitive line but that was the one that took 12 min. to read. My personal opinion is that the test is defective because it wasnt coming out normal as it should. Any one else a pregnancy test addict? maybe we should all form a PT annonamous. :) good luck ladies. hoping to chat.

Hi Kim! I just had to read your post--I LOVE the title. Too funny. I think we can all relate. I used to be a POAS addict myself until I noticed a trend each month--BFN. But now that I've been doing IUIs & other things to increase my chances I've been noticing my old habit rearing up again. I have like 4 boxes of tests in my cabinet, I kid you not. What can we do! I hope the HPT (defective though it may be) was right & you have a BFP on its way. Good luck. Keep us posted.

Hello. That you for coming out of the closet first! There’s a stampede behind you – watch out! Yes. My name is Monica – I too am a pregnancy-test-a-holic… I have also found them to be defective 15 months consecutively. I’ve been having trouble with the money back guarantee! The market competition can make it tricky to choose “high quality product” & the “ever-raising street rate” is forcing me to “shop the black market”!! for my addiction! Buying in bulk dozens of these bad boys!! I stack up on them like Y2K - flooding my cabinets so that at any given moment I can pop one off & go to town!!! Ah, yes. I am a pregnancy-test-a-holic. Please god. Help me overcome this terrible addiction! Give me one positive & I’ll swear off this insanity!! Glad to meet you girls. Let us form a support group. LMFAO – Baby dust!!

Hi Monicalia (everyone say it in unison like at the AA meetings :) I am trying to hard not to test this month. I have at least shaved down to the dollar store brand, so I still have some money left over in my bank account :)

Hi Ladies... Thanks for responding to this post. I am hoping that this will be a fun post for us to releive some stress and anxiety. I bought a pregnancy test this afternoon while i was at target and well, as soon as i walked in the door i peed on the stick. Literally, I HAVE A PROBLEM. I am no longer in denial. The test said negative however, i am a day late. My hopes are way up now, i just hope i dont get shot down again this month. lets keep this going to make each other smile. :)

Hi everyone! Man, I thought that I was the only one.. Crazy eh? But, I buy mine off e-bay as they are soooo much cheaper.. You can buy in packs of 100! That should make it a little cheaper of a habit.. LOL.. I too am the exact same way! I was like Mega, had to read the post.. See? Someone said that there would be a stampede of people right behind you.. She wasn't kidding! LOL! ;-) Good luck to everyone!

ok...ok...how soon do ya'll start testing? how soon can the tests actually predict if your pregnant? thought I'd get an opinion from the professionals! =)

I fell off the wagon and tested 4 days before AF was due. I got a BFN. Was it too early to test? I used the dollar store brand.

Great post! I too am a pregnancy test addict.. I buy the tests all the time before I know I should and use them before AF would show up. I buy about 4 boxes each time and I need to stop buying so many as it is hitting hard in the purse. Glad to know that I am not alone.

Well AF came on Friday morning. So i have been under the weather a lil bit. I once again got shot down this month. Each month it gets harder as well as kills me emotionally. We are going to do 2 more months of femara and if that does not work we are going to do an IVF treatment as it will be a year since we have started trying and 7 months since my M/C. Anyways, i am sure that i will be stocking up on my tests again for this month. I honestly say... i have a problem. I am a pregnancy test a holic. So glad we have this little support group. (oh yeah...my husbands parents were in town and my father in law opened up my cabinet where i keep the pregnancy tests, he got a lil weirded out) I think he thinks i have a problem. :) Good luck ladies, hope to hear from you.

WOW... My DH told me that i was keeping EPT in business, but looks like i have a little help... Some Partners in Crime. LOL. Anyway, I am with MONICALIA. I have been buying in Bulk too... My recent purchase... 25 early tests for $8 from ebay. "blushes". And of course, as soon as I saw the mailwoman carrying those bad boys up my driveway I was ready with my pants unbuttoned waiting for the next dose of pregnancy test dissappointment. Lets not forget the fact that everytime I go pee, I want to reach into the cabinet where I can hear those little devils crying my name. But knowing that the timing is not right and knowing that if I use up the supply too soon, the mailwoman may not even make it half way up the driveway before i tackle the envelope out of her hands due to "pregnancy test withdrawl." Just one BFP will be like all 12 steps to freedom at once.

WELP I JUST TESTED AND IAM ONLY LIKE 4 OR 5 DAYS POST OVULATION. AMI A NUT OR WHAT? OF COURSE IT WAS BFN, I KNEW IT WOULD BE, BUT I HAD TO DO IT! LOL. YOU AREN'T ALONE. I HAVE LIKE A THOUSAND TEST STRIPS, SO THEY ARE EASY ENOUGH TO WASTE. IF I WAS SPENDING $20 A POP, I'D BE SLIGHTLY LESS OF A TEST ADDICT. HAPPY BFP +++'S TO ALL! HUGS, SHERRY

 

me - November 13

Two, two days before AF ah ah ah (in the sesame street count voice). Still too early to test you think? Still got a negative but my temp went back up.

 

SHANIA - November 13

STOP WASTING MONEY ON PREGNANCY TESTS, SAVE IT FOR INFERTILITY TREATMENTS. LOL, ITS A BFN ANYWAYS,JUST WAIT A FEW MORE DAYS AF WILL SURELY VISIT, DONT WASTE ANY MORE MONEY.OK

 

sherry - November 13
