Poll - What does a positive OPK look like?

chichiphin

There has been discussion throughout threads that having a dedicated place to post OPK's ONLY could be beneficial for members. This thread would be pinned and would allow for posting of OPKs where members could comment on if they feel it is positive or not. This would also mean asking the bump gods if this could happen, as right now there is only one thread for things you have peed on. 

An alternative would be to post OPKs in the Preg test thread & direct members there (but I realize this could be triggering for some, as well as confusing for others!)

Obvs discussion is welcomed here too.

I remember that there was a limit to the number of pinned posts possible - so it would also be necessary to choose which post to “un pin” if that’s still true...

There are 8 pinned 8n the 1st Trimester board. We have 4. We should be able to pin it!

My only concern, for us, is that peggies would post their HPTs here bc they can't/don't read. Esp. if it's a pinned post, how would we/TB deal with that? 

ETA: "here" as in, if we had the "what a positive OPK looks list" thread.

@kagesstarshroom good point, but I feel like they do it anyway even without that thread...you just can't win with peggies.

kagesstarshroom

@b_1029 Yeah, truly you are right. I still voted for yes to having it and keeping it here. I think it's important if the votes go in favor of having a thread like that here that it's very clear what the thread is for in easy-to-read concise, clear language so that we can point to that and be like "look, you broke this easy to read, concise, and clear rule" if it happens.

I had another thought. What if we just allowed OPKs to be posted in spoilers in the regular WTO or Chart Stalk/Questions thread?

Ooo I like that alternate @marebear15

@chichiphin - I can just see the OPK thread having multiple pregnancy tests being posted on it, and the BGs shutting it down within like a week of it being created and pinned. Technically there's no rule saying we can't post OPKs anywhere we want (I read TOU carefully), so it'd just be up to us whether or not to allow it. Kind of like the way we use TWs.

@marebear15 I thought the rule was no posting if things you've peed on (which would include OPKs) or bodily fluids?

marebear15

@inthewoods23 - I think we made up that rule. There's nothing in TOU, The Ultimate Newbie Guide, The Bump Guidelines, or Welcome, New Members that talks about not being able to post OPKs, only pregnancy tests.

chichiphin

Well crap now I think we need a new poll. Maybe tmrw

Maybe if we do post in our WTO or TWW threads as spoilers maybe have a rule to just cover or crop so it’s just the test lines or clean of pee drips lol

I LOVE this option
