HPT Anonymous
Hello… My name is Andrea and I am a HPT-aholic.
Even when I don’t have a chance of being pregnant, I still pick up a HPT just to “make sure”. BUT… if there’s even a slight glimmer of hope that I may be growing a little bean, well, watch out. I don’t just pick up 1 HPT, but I’ll pick up many. No, I’m sorry, you don’t get the exact #, it’s different every time and almost embarassing. I mean totally embarassing.
I test at 8 days DPO (or maybe earlier if I can’t wait, and yes, I understand there is no point to testing earlier then that), then the next day, and the next. And so on until AF arrives. The $ store sells them for extremely cheap, so sometimes I stock up on them, but mostly I like the “Early Response” kind.
Now, you may laugh at this or just think I’m a complete moron, but I have even pee’d on a stick knowing full well I was pregnant, infact I was well in to pregnancy. I loved seeing the positive sign.
Am I the only one here who cannot control myself when it comes to HPTs? I can’t be the only one, there’s even a site entirely dedicated to peeing on a stick… and go figure, it’s called, Pee On A Stick, LOL!
So that’s it, my confession for the week.

I’m a member of this club too. When TTC, I was probably going through around 15 pee sticks a month (but that includes OPKs too, so it’s not *that* many, right??). I can’t tell you how many times I read through that POAS website. Every month I’d read through the OPK section, then the HPT section, just to see if there were any clues on how to get pregnant.
