Qtip test
I have seen some people post about doing a qtip test. Is it just as basic as it sounds to test for AF ahead of time? How effective have people found this to be? TIA!

Re: Qtip test
It's a joke. No one that I know of believes in it. Someone posted one day...a newbie...saying they use a Q-tip to test. And now we all laugh about it.
ETA: changed wording
Stolen from busybeegirl
I don't get this PIP. Isn't this supposed to be a gymnast? What's up with the assless bodysuit?

Its supposed to look like a giant q-tip coming out her vadge.
Not sure why she is wearing a thong body suit
To show off her badonk-adonk derr.
Well I hadn't done it yet. I feel stupid now though. Didn't know it was a joke. Saw a post yesterday about a tampon test and that sounded awful. I am just trying to get answers before I can from my body.
Sorry! I feel like a moron!
Also love the assless leotard!
Oh for fudge sake. It was something a silly woman said she did, who then got made fun of for being silly. It's then turned into somewhat of a joke, which then, horrifying enough, turned into people actually wanting to try it and wondering how "effective" it is. Please women, stop shoving Q-Tips up your vagina!
ETA: This isn't just directed at you OP, this is directed at any one else who reads this and thinks "Hmm... Q-tip test... I wonder..."
Don't feel stupid - I remember the original post from a few months ago, and I definitely got the impression that the OP was actually doing the Qtip test because the tampon test was hurting her vag. An internal CM check would be the easiest way to check for spotting IMO.
April 2011: Metformin 1500mg + Clomid 100mg + Ovidrel + Prometrium = BFP!

At 40w6d, our Team Green surprise came by unplanned C-section and changed our lives forever!
No need to feel like a moron...you didn't do it yet (or at least you were smart enough not to admit it on a public message board
Haha. Patience can be hard to come by, we've all been there. Unfortunately, it's required.
Thanks ladies! Appreciate the support. And no I promise there were no qtips anywhere but my ears today!
::going back to sitting around waiting:::
Yes that was my assumption as well. I am having symptoms that like all symptoms could be AF or BFP. But apparently its all made up! Oops!
Yup thats my plan! Hoping for good things!
THis may be my favorite PIP EVER!
