Place the cup/glass/whatever, right up against your body! Doesn't give your pee any other place to go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-having-trouble#post-1325087 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 12:06:32 +0000 Snowdrop 1325087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha I just have great aim and pee directly on the cheapie strips...I'd say it makes a good party trick but to be honest I don't want to be invited to those types of parties. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-having-trouble#post-1325082 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 12:04:33 +0000 MadamBabyFever 1325082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: I'm glad to know that if I keep doing it at least I won't be the only one :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-having-trouble#post-1325069 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 12:01:35 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1325069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: yup and I threw it away after a bit so it never had to return to the kitchen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-having-trouble#post-1325023 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 11:49:26 +0000 MrsKoala 1325023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Second the big red solo cup!! Never missed with that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-having-trouble#post-1325018 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 11:48:09 +0000 bhbee 1325018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>well I will just admit that I still pee on my hand on a pretty regular basis. and I have been PIAC for a long time . . . for TTC #1, pregnancy, now TTC #2 . . . so I just wash hands as much as needed. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-having-trouble#post-1324896 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 11:18:18 +0000 septca 1324896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, I promise you'll get better at it. :happy: I always used those small, paper Dixie cups and had it mastered by cycle 2-3. It's good practice for how often you have to do it once you are pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-having-trouble#post-1324820 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 11:04:18 +0000 MadamBabyFever 1324820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the advice ladies, tomorrow I'll try a bigger cup and higher up. Hopefully that should do the trick :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-having-trouble#post-1324359 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 08:29:43 +0000 illumina 1324359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used a glass, @Happygal: my Dh was also horrified by this and started asking every time he reached for a glass "have you peed in this one?". but anyway, instead of holding it inches below and catching the pee, I would hold it right up against me and pee straight into it. Never had any mess that way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-having-trouble#post-1324350 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 08:18:22 +0000 Happygal 1324350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dedicated a wide pyrex glass to pee in and wash it each time--it's stashed beneath my bathroom sink. My husband was horrified to discover I've been doing this and insists it will be thrown away once I finally get pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-having-trouble#post-1324347 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 08:15:38 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1324347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Get a bigger cup. I seriously used a big red solo cup. No reason to use a small one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-having-trouble#post-1324345 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 08:15:00 +0000 MadamBabyFever 1324345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Peeing into a cup?<br /> So I tried my first OPK today, one of those cheap ones where you pee into a cup and then dip the stick. So far so good, until I actually tried to pee in the cup, sorry about the TMI, but OMG so much pee on my hand :(</p> <p>Please tell me I'm not the only one, any tips from you OPK pros? </p>
