On average, how many times do you POAS every month during/after your 2ww?
I'm just curious to know if I'm the only "freak" out there who is addicted to POAS or if there are others I probably do 4-5 tests towards the end of my 2ww...crazy, I know!
I start POAS 10dpo and keep going. Before IVF, that would only result in one or two tests because I had a 10-11 LP. Last IVF cycle I POAS for 6 days. My clinic doesn't do betas until 18 dpo, but at 15dpo, I knew the results were reliable.
I used to start at 10dpIUI and go thru AF. Then I did a booster cycle where I couldnt test till 16dpIUI which sucked. Then I had cysts. I cant remember the last time I POAS. Oh wait.... yes I can, because it was positive and we thought we were pregnant =( DAMN YOU IF!

Before doing medicated cycles I used to start POAS at about 10dpo, so usually about 4-5 times. Since starting medicated cycles I've been waiting until about 12 or 13dpiui. I'm just terrified of testing too early and seeing a + and getting excited only to find out that the trigger is still in my system. But that's just my craziness.

I HATE POAS. I find it so stressful and seeing a negative test is the worst. I usually wait for the beta and don't test at all. This time, I'll be out of town and can't get a beta til 18dpo because of that, so I think I might POAS on Thursday (13 dpiui).
During IUI's, I usually POAS at 12piui. So only POAS 2 times during IUIs before I had my beta. For my 1st IVF I was POAS-crazy. I was POAS at 6dp3dt and sometimes more than once a day. I really think that POAS like that made me feel so much worse. So, with this last IVF cycle, I only POAS twice.
For me, I have to make sure I don't have any sticks at home. For the first IVF I had a ton of internet cheapies so I didn't feel bad about POAS all the time. Now, I just have none in the house and spend the $15 for 2-3 tests and I"m much better about not POAS too much.

4 or 5 times? Pssh, I can double that easily. I'd test out the trigger. Then I'd test around 9 or 10 dpo (or the equivalent). Towards the end, sometimes twice a day.

I don't POAS- so I think I'm the oddball.
I've only POAS a few times in the 3 yrs TTC- and last time I did was probably almost over a year ago
