TTC after 35

Share your POAS goof ups

Today: I POAS by not using FMU (CVS wasn't open when I woke) and the control line is still blank.  I suppose I didn't pee long enough on the stick.  I am 12DPO so, it was early, but damn!  DH was like "so basically you wasted a stick"  Uh, yeah.

Re: Share your POAS goof ups

  • I stopped POAS when I wasted a few OPK's (not held in stream long enough and got invalid results). I bought a package of dixie cups, so I dip instead. I think it's a lot easier.
  • I was either not soaking enough or soaking strips too much so I switched to the PIAC method.  Much easier and I know it's getting the right amount of pee.

  • i've had times where i POAS and when i wipe there's AF (sorry TMI)

    but yest i pee in a cup now as well, because with CBEFM, it's timed and if i wake up to early to pee it wont take it. so i have to save it (i know gross)

    do you have any dollar tree tests hanging around?

    This EXACTLY! So frustrating.  And once when this happened, the test was positive! (It was a chemical).

  • I strongly advise you  to buy dollar store cheapies unless you really think you are pg.  I am a serial tester, and the dollar store has saved me a ton of money between the 23 cycles to get DD and the 6 cycles on #2.  A blank control line means you did not get enough pee on the test strip or you have a dud test.  I saw those pathetic control lines 22+ times...I know.  They suck.  I would test with a different test if you think you might be pg.  No control line=fautly results.

  • I don't know what happened, but the test window remained blank and the test was a bust.  I thought to myself, "What a waste of good pee!"  Which is pretty pathetic, but that FMU only comes once a day! HA!

  • I always PIAC because I'm scared I won't be able to aim and pee long enough directly on the stick and will waste it.  That and also because I prefer to use the $Tree tests because they are cheap and they require PIAC anyway.
