POAS addicts GTKY

Poppy715 · October 2013

How do you POAS? I'm curious about what other ladies rituals are. Do you have a cup, disposable cup, pee in the wrapper? What about at work? How do you test there. I want to hear all the POAS addiction deets!

* I realize I'm being a PW today but it's all in the name of fun. It gives us lots to talk about!

PSS: I could look up POAS PIP's all.day.long.

Eliz77 · October 2013

When I use Wonfo's OPKs, I will use wrapper. I read it from someone here and it makes POAS during the work day SO MUCH easier! Otherwise, I just POAS.

I'll be honest and admit I once peed in the cup you use for Nyquil. I had to toss it of course but when DH asked where it went I have no idea. :-/ $:\$ "> I also use the lid to my shaving cream on the reg. I test, dump it, wash it out and put it back into the shower. It's so dumb. I should just leave it in the cupboard.

I've never attempted peeing in the wrapper. It seems like such a horrible idea for clumsy me. I also like to lay the stick on top while I wait. Then there's no pee on the bathroom counter or wherever.

I use disposable plastic portion cups.. Peeing in the wrapper sounds so difficult!

I think I told you this but when on vacation I used a water bottle cap. F'n difficult ie. pee on my hand.

^:)^ I love you.

I use the disposable bathroom cups at home. At work we have pee cups for urine samples so I sometimes steal one and then put the lid on & sneak it to my car to dip at home.

AnyMax · October 2013

But to answer your question, I have a bar glass that became the pee cup the day we ran out of plastic cups. DH was grossed out that I would clean it to be reused as a bar glass, so now it is a pee cup forever.

LaRomana09 · October 2013

At home, I have a little plastic cup that I rinse and reuse. I keep it under the sink, and I've had it pretty much since I started TTC. At work (I only POAOPK there) I bring a little pouch into the bathroom with me and a cup would be too big, so I use a little tiny container that is meant for my contact lenses. I usually get pee on my hands, but it serves its purpose. I also like to use the wrapper to lay the test on.

@Poppy715 First off I love you for this post!! Second I love, love the POAS PIPs. Epic.

I just pee on the stick and set it back on top the wrapper on the counter to wait. I've never tested at work.

PS Nyquil cup? Genius may I say.

princezjk · October 2013

I haven't had to pee on a stick at work, yet. I've just been waiting until I get home. I bought a pack of disposable cups specifically for peeing. It was really funny when amazon sent me an email to review my recent purchase. @poppy715, I also like to lay my stick on the wrapper while waiting for results.

alleycat39 · October 2013

I have a stack of those little paper cups people use when they need water after brushing their teeth. So a bathroom cup just a different purpose!

kalynn12 · October 2013

I never thought to pee in the wrapper, very interesting. I use disposable cups.

BethKate2 · October 2013

I've got a little plastic cup that came with store-bought OPKs I used at one point.

I don't test at work (opks or hpts).

jenkellen · November 2013

I use the small cups. I've only taken one test at work and that was because I ran out and went out and restocked at lunch. I caved. So mad at myself!

SaranJonathan · November 2013

At home I have disposable paper cups I keep in my little basket on the lid along with pads, tampons. If I use opks at work I use the wrappers. I have never done a hpt at work. Even if I use a frer or digital I still use the cup so I have extra pee if I would want to dip again!

buggirl72 · November 2013

Poppy - I may or may not have used a Nyquil cup before. And DH may or may not have asked what happened to it.

Like @BethKate2, I have a plastic cup that came with store bought OPKs. My RE wanted me to use Walgreens cheapie OPKs so I have a couple of little cups (it's about the same size as a Nyquil cup).

I'm a frequent tester. I should belong to a support group for such things.

RedTwizzlers · November 2013

I love this post!!

I use little plastic cups most of the time. If I'm at school and there aren't any little cups in that bathroom, I pee in the wondfo wrapper. But I'm not very good at that and I usually get some on my hands :-/

Before reading this post I assumed everyone just peed right on the stick. After reading this I realize I'm the weirdo for actually doing it. Glad I'm not the only one

. I pee on the stick then put the cap back on and place it on the counter. I have to make sure I have a good 5 seconds of pee flow ready to go though lol

I've used one of these before... I couldn't think of anything else at the time!

abryars · November 2013

@MrsDeo that makes more sense to me. Thanks for clarifying

I even said to DH that I never even knew that's how it was supposed to be done because my directions always told me to pee right on it. I've only ever used one kind

epaprn · November 2013

At work I use the paper cups from the water cooler. At home I use a red solo cup!

rmpar29 · November 2013

I use the disposable paper cups at home. I used to pee right on the stick, until I totally missed the stick while peeing one morning because I was SO TIRED! Now, I pee in the cup and dip.

You ladies are definitely ingenious! Peeing in the NyQuil cup, shower cream caps, wrapper...all things I never would've thought of!!!

AnyMax · November 2013

@abryars After two faulty tests in one pack, and having to wait and then wait again to take another, I never pee directly on them anymore. I keep that cup until the test is definitely done and I know it worked.

psychmajormom · November 2013

I have an actual Tupperware bowl I use because I am that clumsy when it comes to pissing. lol It stays in the bathroom cabinet with my opk's hpt (if I have any, try not keep them around so I don't waste them) and the pads and tamps. But, yes, I use Tupperware! lol

vikinggirl4 · November 2013

I want to join in! I haven't started OPKs yet (that's for next weekend!) but I'm so excited and I feel like I should belong here, because really, it's only a matter of time!

I used to use a solo cup (glad I'm not the only one!) but my mom recently gave me a whole sleeve of the little medicine cups (I have no idea where or how or why she got them). She told me "you can make jello shots!" but I knew their main purpose would be for testing. Even into a cup, I still get pee on my fingers; you ladies who pee in wrappers are talented!

SuperKim13 · November 2013

Awesome GTKY!!

At work I pee in the wondfo wrapper and all over my hand.

At home I have a special pee cup that I keep under the bathroom sink. It is actually not a cup, but the cap from an old hairspray bottle.

nyg2042 · November 2013

For OPKs at work - I pee in the wrapper (with mixed success). At home, I have disposable cups and I dip.

Poppy715 · November 2013

I knew this would be funnier than it sounded. Love the different things we pee in ladies. For the love of TTC we will pee in just about anything!

luciddreamer106 · November 2013

Wow, I never even thought about peeing in the wrapper. At home, I reuse a red solo cup that I rinse out and put behind the toilet. I throw it out once a cycle. I do use the wrapper to set the strip on while it does its magic.

I've peed directly on a wondfo and it turned out ok, but I'm not going to make a habit if it.
