Running out of HPTs and FF VIP

CheesyPeas · November 2013

Dear former self,

Remember that time when you purchased a VIP membership to FF and and a big package of internet cheapie HPTs and thought to yourself "this is probably a waste of money"??? Remember that? That was hilarious. Oh, and remember that time when you took a break so that you wouldn't end up with a Christmas baby? You crack me up.

Sincerely,

Your less obnoxious counter-part who is currently shopping on Amazon and planning to splurge on the HTP/OPK package this time even though I still have one cycle left before I need the HPTs...

No real point to this post. Just feeling particularly annoyed today with my former naive self and wanted to get that out.

I feel you girl! I am on my SECOND paid year of FF. Second fucking year. That is outrageous.

And honestly I can't even tell you how many of those 50pks of wondfos I've gone through, I have a serious pee problem, like 2-3x per day if I'm feeling optimistic.

I remember purposely introing on TTGP at the beginning of a cycle, because I figured I'd be pregnant by the end of that month. What a joke, indeed.

Doesn't it make you want to rewind time and be the mean girls in the corner pointing and laughing at our former selves? I've had that visual multiple times already today.

I went through so many of the pee sticks, bot opk's and hpt's the first time around. I can not believe women pay $25 for a 7 pack of opk's at the drug store. I would be SOO BROKE! I'm trying not to be a POAS-aholic this time. So far, so good, but we'll see how long it lasts!

Oh to be naive again!! (Said the lady bumping from the doctor's office while I lay here for 20min praying conception is in my near future!)

I was totally this person. I remember specifically having a conversation about how people know how not to get KU at the beginning of the year so they wouldn't wind up with a holiday baby. I would like to punch her now.

There's a lot of laughing and yelling at the expense of my former self.

I just bought a ton of sticks because sadly I have a horrible pee addiction. I will admit I have the want to pee on something every day. I know the result every time before the the control line even shows up.

I remember thinking m/c happens to other people, not me, and thinking that pregnancy is just as easy as they make it out to be on TV.

Seriously, I was an idiot.

Try $50.00 per pack and only 10 OPKS, And because my ovulation is ALWAYS late, and likes to play peek a boo with me... Most months I need 2 boxes. Yep... im that girl -_-

Lol, no... Just never had a good reading with lines so I use clearblue digital opk's. They are freaking expensive!

I use them too. Try ordering them from Amazon. They are much cheaper than the drug store!

I most likely will, but It would be sooo much easier if they sold replacement sticks, beings the monitor is still usable! I cant even tell you how many dang monitors I have now, lol.

kndeckar · November 2013

OMG are you in my head?! I thought the same thing when I ordered my huge quantity of Wondfos 9 months ago! I remember thinking I won't use all these & it will be such a waste of money. I used up all the opks a few months ago & I just used the last HPT this month. Ugh...

Me too! I did find the monitor dies after several couple of months. The batteries in them are crap. I was so happy to have the extra monitors when mine died the day before I was supposed to O!

Uh yeah, that one ran through my head 4 years ago too. Off BC and no less than 12 months later there'd be a baby. Miscarriages were other women. With my fertile genetics I'd be perfectly fine... ::Eye roll:: to self.

trayle01 · November 2013

Ugh!!! All those yrs on BC...how silly was I. =D>

britt6292 · November 2013

I felt the same when I ordered my combo pack of 50 OPKs. I had already decided who I would give my leftovers too....now I need to order another pack! I also considered taking a month off so that my kids would not have birthdays in the same month. I was sooooo off base!
