1st Trimester

what did you do with your bfp?

I know it's gross to keep pee-soaked pieces of plastic, but ever since I took the two tests 13 and 12 days ago, they've been sitting on top of the toilet. Every day I'll reach for them to throw them away, but I can't make myself. I think they're a reminder to me that this is real. I have a feeling that it's unsacred to throw them away. Anyone else experience this?

Re: what did you do with your bfp?

  • I say take a picture and throw them out!  I know that it's a special reminder of what's to come, but once the baby is here you won't care to keep them.

  • I still have them b/c it's only been a couple days and I'm still in disbelief. I'll toss them eventually (maybe take a pic first).

     Me Too! Although, I didnt know it would disappear so I woke up the next morrning slightly disappointed.  However, my DH did get the video camera out that night so we could tape all THREE pregnancy tests and our reaction.  I secretly think he did it so he can mock me later about how I had to take three tests to begin with.

  • I kinda wanted to keep mine to put in a baby book, but my DH (a microbiologist) nixed that idea.  Sigh.  I threw mine away, but I do admit to digging it out of the trash a couple of times to look at the blue line before taking the trash out...

  • haha--I kept mine for a couple of weeks too! I took one again Sat. morning, and the line was crazy dark...so I went ahead and threw out all the old ones and now I'll just look at this one. Until I have my u/s when I'll have cute pictures to look at. I'm a visual person.
    Dear Bump: You suck.
  • please don't save the pee sticks.  take the pictures, and toss 'em out!
  • I still have mine, but it hasn't even been a week yet for me so I still like to look at them!! But I did take pictures of them, and I'm sure once I get further along I will toss them.

    Why do you care?

    And I wasn't going to keep them indefinitely. In fact, as I already posted, they're thrown away.

  • I kept mine for a day then tossed it. ?I used a digital, and the "Pregnant" only showed up for 24 hours, so after that it was pretty much useless anyway. (Not that a used pg test is useful, but you know what I mean!)

  • I wanted to take a picture, but then I remembered making fun of people for doing that and knew my other friends would remember and laugh at me.  So I kept them for a few days until my husband said "hey look, you're not pregnant anymore."  He thinks he's funny.

  • I took the first one I did....4 other's after that.....put a date on it, stuck it in a plastic bag and added it to my beginning pile for the baby book....I know it's a peed on stick but really, it has a cover on it....not really exposing any of the old pee ;-)  I like to keep things....pack rat that I am.....plus after waiting 3 long yrs to see that plus there is no way I am parting with it!!

  • I keep having to take the tests to remind myself that I REALLY am pregnant.  This is so surreal to me and exciting! 

    I do have one of my first positive line tests...it makes me smile.  I will probably get rid of them all after my first dr appt next week.
