I still have my pee sticks

red1976 · March 2011

Embarrassed All 4 of them. Dated and stored in a baggie under my bathroom sink. I don't know what I intend to do with them but I confess that every once in awhile I take them out and stare at them ... still in awe.

Anyone else still have their pee sticks??

I DO!!!

) Well, the first one I still have! My mom is making me a pregnancy scrapbook and plans to put it in there some how! hehe

Haha I don't, and I kind of wish I did. Not that I can show the baby someday when he grows up or anything...but DH did have to stop me from going back to the store for another digi, since the battery died on mine and I deleted the pic of it from my camera-ugh!

kjuryfl · March 2011

Yup! I love looking at them.. especially my early faint positive test from Thanksgiving Day.

I do have pics so I should just keep them.

I still have mine!

No, that's disgusting. I only kept it long enough to show DH, with the cap on.

How's it disgusting? I don't take them out and play with them. They're in a ziploc bag.

I wanted to keep mine, but my husband had me throw them away. Oh well!

kjgilhoo · March 2011

I have mine too. They're not dated, but I know when the dates were. Seeing that second line was such a "wow' moment I think it's worth holding onto for awhile.

I kept my first one... I looked at a few times in the first few weeks, but havent looked at in months, I just don't want to throw it away;)

aliciabee · March 2011

I wish I did. I only had digital and the screen goes blank after a few days. Sad

StefandTodd · March 2011

I had purchased about a zillion dollar store tests while TTC, so over the course of the first few weeks after we found out, I took every last test I had. I still have a baggy full of all of them. Okay, not a zillion, but I think there are 8. But yes, I still have them in a baggy under my sink. It's been awhile since I've started at them. I replaced that obsession with starting at my u/s pics and video of the baby moving around

I saved my FRER and digi for about a week (didn't keep my ICs) but the digi screen died and the FRER started getting yellow looking and gross. I have the pics - that's good enough!

SarahRuthG · March 2011

No I didn't save mine.... I only took 2 IC. I don't know how long they would have stayed positive or gotten gross. I did have a pic on my phone, but I was scared I would accidently post it on facebook or text it to someone so I deleted it. LOL

Ha, what a funny thread! I kept mine for a few weeks, but ended up just taking some photos & ditching the actual sticks.

This is my solution for keepsakes in general ... if it a) doesn't fit or b) isn't appropriate to put in my keepsakes trunk, I take a snapshot and get rid of it. I'm a hoarder by nature, but I am concerned that if I were hit by a bus tomorrow, I would want my loved ones to have a minimum of crap to sift through and feel bad about throwing out Morbid, but practical. Also, we move every few years so this helps cut down on the number of boxes!

B&R+A=love · March 2011

You all are probably going to think it's gross but I still have one of the FRER that I took with DS who is almost two. It's not dated but it does say #1 on it. I also have a FRER that I took with this baby and it says #2. They are in baggies under my sink. I can't remember what company but one of the pee stick brands actually has a voucher for a little keepsake pouch that you can keep your positive test in.

CactusGirl · March 2011

Hehe, that is kind of funny Smile

I don't have my used pee sticks, but I have two unused ones still (one is digital). Sometimes I want to pee on them just to see the the two lines and the word "pregnant", but then I feel like it is such a waste (even thought they are going to waste and expire anyway).

noeleanne · March 2011

I don't think it's gross at all! I still have all 3 of mine in a ziploc bag in my bathroom cabinet. And I know my SIL has hers too!

I think I read somewhere that after a certain point in the pregnancy the test don't register the same may not come back as positive. I have no idea where I read that though, but I guess that would explain the tv show "I didn't know I was pregnant."

I would have totally peed on them by now!!! lol...

BonitaKaz · March 2011

I still have all 5 of mine.

They have caps on but aren't in a baggie, they're all in a FRER box with the dpo written on them. I don't think it's gross. It's just pee. It's not like you have to poop on them to get them to work.

oh good, i thought so too. no judgement to those of you who keep them, i just imagine it getting fuzzy or smelling or something. not that any of you would intentionally smell one! i know you wouldn't - i just imagine everything having a smell anymore because i can smell absolutely everything!

ohyeahdollface · March 2011

Gross.

kim1989 · March 2011

I do but it wasnt my idea to... my fiance kept it then I saw it and was like "oh you kept it" :-p

Wait, I thought you were using them as coffee stirrers?? Isn't that what you all do?

Naw, I just take mine out and suck on them every once in a while. You know, just for shiits and giggles. Seriously crash? It's pee. You're going to be dealing with much worse in a few months.

I still have ours, capped and in a plastic bag. It was only the second time in 2.5 years that I had turned one, and the first one was barely there (c/p shortly thereafter). This time around, it was so bold and dark, I was in shock. They are dated and in plastic...I'm sure I will pitch them at some point, but not quite yet.
