Anyone else in 1st Tri still...

mrstyson03

POAS? What is wrong with me? I am STILL POAS!!! I mean, seriously... I act like I'm addicted or something. I'm sure I'll stop after my first appt, but for now it feels like that's all I have to go on. I can't believe I still have a week and a half to go before my appt.

yup still in 1st Tri for a few more weeks

I'm not in 1st tri, but I did POAS three times after my initial BFP - I think I last did it at 22 or 23dpo, you can see in my chart.  Then I got comfortable.  The funny thing is, I still have all those tests in a plastic baggie.  I was going to throw them away when I came across them a couple weeks ago, but my DH wouldn't let me.  I never thought he would be sentimental about pee on a strip of paper ...

I haven't POAS since I got my BFP, but I did take ?blood and urine pg tests yesterday at the Drs and it made me feel better so I totally understand where you're coming from. ?It's like reassurance.?

I have been tempted but now I am just really scared not to see the line. I am just listening to my body and the symptoms as positive reinforcement. Although today I am feeling really good (no m/s) so I am getting nervous. But I am sure that it comes and goes.

I'm here with you in 1st Tri!  This time around, it actually feels like it's going rather quickly.  Last time (my 2nd m/c) seemed to drag time!

I will admit to that my loss was a cp so when I took a test 2 days after my first the line was a lot lighter, this time I have about 20 internet cheapies that expire the end of the year so I figure I might as well use them! it give me peace of mind to see the nice dark line right away

It's so nice to see you over here Garcia! Glad things are going well.

Glad to know I'm not alone! I also think I keep POAS because I haven't experienced any symptoms yet other than headaches and feeling ridiculously tired all the time. Oh well, guess I'll just keep counting down until my 1st appt.

I think it is completely normal.  That is to say, I did it to.  I have Pee sticks from 10 DPO, 13 DPO, 15 DPO, 17 DPO, 19 DPO, and 21 DPO.  After that I stopped.  But you are fine.  I just loved seeing the line get darker and darker.  (I had one extra left, and a few weeks ago, I think I was 16 weeks, I took it again, and it was still positive)

Thanks! Glad your LO is doing well.

YES!!  I've been POAS every few days.   They aren't getting darker anymore, I think they're as dark as they can get, lol!!  I need to stop...but I feel the same as you that it's all I have to go on until my appointment and u/s next week. :-(  It is comforting to see those two lines.  In my defense (if I can claim any defense at all for this!) I have a bunch of internet cheapie tests, so I'm not wasting several dollars every time I POAS.  Just 80 cents, lol!

MrsGhappilyeverafter

Yes, but not anymore.  I POASed all the time until my 6 week appt.  Then I did it sporadically.  I did it for the last time around 8 weeks
