Promised myself that I wouldn't be one of THOSE people

but the thought of POAS keeps entering my mind. If I charted then this likely wouldn't be an issue I suppose, but I'm about to go on a vacation that potentially involves the following:

hot tubs, white water rafting with a case of beer, and DH is talking about hiking a 14er with a couple of friends. The one they've discussed is 9 miles and the highest peak in the state. My siblings and dad recently did it and were exhausted.

ETA: I posted too soon - oops! I took my last active pill 4 weeks ago from tomorrow, and I keep convincing myself of things - like 2 weeks ago maybe the big red zit on my nose was ovulation time, and then 8-9 days later when I had spotting it was implimentation. but I am quite certain I am just being silly at this point.

    Sweetie, I've had to PO-MANY-Ss since having Mariana... :::insert embarrassed face I can't get to cause I'm on my phone::: I think it's perfectly ok. Amd just for the record, when I got my BFP, I tested "just in case" because I was going to have a day of getting hammered in the city with my BFF for my birthday. When you're TTC and there's a chance you may be preggo, it's better to be safe than sorry.

    If you do happen to be PG, then how far along would you be??  If you are talking like 4 weeks, I personally don't see the harm in any of the above mentioned activities, minus the beer.

    Always good to POAS if it puts your mind at ease.  Better safe than sorry.  BUT, I will say, there is no evidence that having a beer or two during very early pregnancy will have an negative effects on the pregnancy - at least that is what WTEWYE says (I remember clearly since I had two delicious margaritas the night before I found out I was pregnant and was a little nervous).  I can't say how the white water rafting might be, but as for the hike they do say if you are active, it's okay to stay active once you are preggo, right?  So I think you will be fine!  But just to relieve your concerns, do not feel bad about POAS!  We've all been there!  And who knows - maybe you will end up getting really exciting news!

    Lots of hugs lady!   I think we've all been there on one level or another.  I was under a lot of stress and off the pill (although we were using condoms) but still would POAS when I thought I was a more than 2 days "late".  What was funny about it is when I actually WAS pregnant I put the test off a week (attributing late period to stress) and then about dropped the stick when I saw the faint positive line.  I wasn't completely convinced it was positive so I left it on the counter, took my shower, and looked at it again.  Yep line still there.  Silly me!

    Me too. I'm planning on buying a crapload of Dollar Store ones. I can already see the scenario playing out in my head though...

    I will be holding it up to a lightbulb squinting to see if there's a line, doubt myself, take another test, repeat the squinting for a line, doubt myself again, run out and get a digital anyway just to be "sure". LOL.

    Oh, and I've POAS many times too in the past. Since charting I haven't done it as much, but once in a while if my cycle goes past my "average" and there's a slight chance, I will. I'm pretty sure that in all the years I've been sexually active there is only one legitimate time that I needed to POAS, all the other times were me thinking there was a chance, but really there was wasn't.

    Yeah - can't you just imagine us walking out of the Dollar Store with bags full of them? That's what pops in my mind, lol.
