  I have, after IUI #3 I realized that no matter how many times I POAS and it is stark white, I still hold out hope until AF arrives so what's the point.  We'll see if I'm the same way when we get to IVF, I'm thinking I will be more likely to cave.

  Our first little one is getting big!

  I have.  After IUI # 1, I gave up. We had been trying with the RE for 4 months and 1 1/2 years on our own.

  I packed them away somewhere that I have forgotten where they are stored and can never find them fast enough in the morning when I'm tempted.

  I'm tempted by the ugly little things every cycle, but have been able to hold out the last few.  3 days away and if AF is not here I'm afraid a white stick will be my fate!

  I decided that I am for now.  I caught myself obsessing over them the last few days because I see the woman on FF invert their pictures of theirs and study them for hours and I didn't want to get like that.  I'm not buying a bunch from the dollar store anymore, I'm going to listen to my RE and test when they suggest I test, which was today, I shouldn't have tested on Saturday or Sunday.

  I only POAS during monitored cycles/IUI cycles once - 14dpiui. I absolutely hate seeing a stark white test so I just wait for AF after that. When we are on a break I just wait for AF

  This. I've seen far too many stark white tests in my life to want to see anymore. 

  Married 08.06
  Started TTC 05.08
  Me: Stage II endo, borderline high FSH
  DH: perfect
  1 lap, 5 IUIs = 4 BFNs and 1 c/p
  2 IVFs, 2 FETs = 1 BFN, 1 c/p, 1 ectopic and finally a sticky BFP in May 2011!
  
  
  
  1 FET in Aug 2013 = BFP!
