@JJMNO1616 um, yeah. I left work on lunch, went to Walgreens to buy more, went home, POAS, drove back to work. I have a 30 minute lunch...

@JJMNO1616 I did for about a week, but be careful that you don't freak yourself out when the 2nd line gets lighter! It's called the "hook effect" when your HCG gets high enough (I think 1000<) that your HPTs actually get lighter

What @lund said. I've seen some pretty extreme freak outs related to that. The waiting it torture I know but in pregnancy sometimes that's what you gotta do

@lund Oh man I had no idea! Thanks for the forewarning! I did pee on another wondfo today and thankfully it was darker so no freaking out but maybe I'll call it quits now.

@JJMNO1616 I stopped last week when my test line was slightly darker than the control. I figured it couldn't get much darker than that.

^ same. I took one probably every other day for the first week after we found out at 10dpo, then I somehow got myself to wait a whole week and just took one a couple days ago and it was significantly darker than the control and showed up instantly. I figured it was time to stop. No judgement though, it's hard to not do it!

I regret teaching my son ring around the rosy last week. Now I just spin once and get dizzy and nauseous.

@luna8433 - oh god my son's favorite activity is chasing me around the kitchen island. Not awesome when not pregnant, but now it's torture.
