I was like what are you doing, the longer we stand here in this aisle, the more time we have for someone we know to catch us! After that I would just send him alone to purchase the tests. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/busted#post-666535 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 17:27:31 +0000 mrsmacandcheese 666535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in a tiny town and I know at least one person at every pharmacy! With this latest test I had to ask if they had digitals and felt so awkward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/busted#post-666446 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 16:44:14 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 666446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@katiew92081: I keep saying I'm going to order my sticks online, next thing I know my next cycle is here and its time to pee on a stick. OR I tell myself to wait just encase I get a positive &amp; it sticks this time. Then it's not a waste of time &amp; money when in reality its a HUGE waste of time &amp; money the way I have been doing it. SMH </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/busted#post-666378 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 16:13:29 +0000 MrsSCB 666378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, I'm kind of surprised she even said something! But then I tend to be pretty discreet about that kind of stuff and would never say anything unless you did first. Like recently when DH and I were out with another couple, we ordered a pitcher of margaritas and the husband was like "just three glasses." Obviously I jumped to a certain conclusion haha but I just changed the subject :-) sure enough, she's pregnant! I'm sure i'll be mortified to buy pregnancy tests, even though I'm a married adult! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/busted#post-666371 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 16:12:28 +0000 mrs. 64 666371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't even like that the tests and the condoms are next to each other. For some reason buying tests is embarrassing, but heaven forbid someone thought I was inspecting the condoms. Aisle of shame! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/busted#post-666369 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 16:12:09 +0000 pui 666369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: I'm not embarrassed buying tests unless I am not wearing my rings (which happens sometimes when I go out on errands later in the evening)... then I'm worried they'll think I'm not TTC, but had a "mistake".</p> <p>Not that it matters lol, but I still get kind of nervous lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/busted#post-666366 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 16:09:46 +0000 Lindsay05 666366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought mine through the self checkouts! It was very hard even being in the test aisle though. I probably looked like I was trying to steal something because I was always looking over my shoulder for people I knew! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/busted#post-666358 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 16:08:23 +0000 LindsayInNY 666358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I was tempted to tell them to buy cheapo OPKs online!! I didn't even think of the Astroglide, LOL! I can't even remember what else they bought either!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/busted#post-666351 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 16:06:12 +0000 pui 666351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far I haven't been forced to tell anyone we're trying... yet!</p> <p>One thing that does bug me, whenever I feel sick to the stomach (which seems often these days) I have this one coworker who always swings around and says "OMIGOSH are you PREGNANT?". It's like a running joke, except what happens when I actually AM!? I don't want to be put on the spot like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/busted#post-666343 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 16:02:17 +0000 Foodnerd81 666343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: In that situation, I would have been SO tempted to tell them that astroglide is bad for sperm! Talk about unsolicited advice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/busted#post-666258 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:35:34 +0000 MrsH 666258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sugar.Biscuit: no but now I feel like I should buy tests online to avoid this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/busted#post-666254 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:33:33 +0000 chibee 666254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm surprised your friend pointed that out! I would have only asked you about them if you were my very good friend, not just an acquaintance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/busted#post-666241 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:31:28 +0000 Boheme 666241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: I would always walk out if I went to a store that kept them locked up. I couldn't bring myself to ask the pharmacist to get them out for me even though I'm 28 and married. lol.<br /> @katiew92081: 50 packs of Wondfo cheapies from Amazon for the win! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/busted#post-666235 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:30:53 +0000 BSB 666235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG! No, I haven't had this happen to me. I have purchased HPTs at store and I'm not bothered by it. I hope people see that I'm older and more responsible (?). If I was a college or a high school, I would be super nervous. I do look young for my age so maybe people think I'm too young anyway. Well, I don't feel awkward when I buy them. Now buying condoms always makes me nervous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/busted#post-666226 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:28:14 +0000 LindsayInNY 666226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That reminds me of this past weekend... I went to Target and was waiting in line to checkout. Couple in front of me has ClearBlue OPK and Astroglide (among other things) and kept looking at each other with these awkward smiles! I just LOLed to myself ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/busted#post-666196 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:14:38 +0000 illumina 666196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always got embarrassed buying preg tests and would often try and go through a self service checkout so the cashier wouldn't see what I was buying. I used to hide them in the trolley at the supermarket too so no one would see as I walked around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/busted#post-666190 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:12:03 +0000 doxielove 666190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sugar.Biscuit: Ugh, my condolences! I have to buy some digitals after work and I'm terrified I'll run into someone I know. (I usually buy my tests online, but I'm too impatient to wait for them to ship since I'm already 11dpo!!!) ETA - FX for a BFP for you!!!!!!!!!!!</p> <p>@MamaMoose: lol, I love it!! Maybe I'll throw some vitamins in the cart tonight for good measure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/busted#post-666180 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:07:15 +0000 MamaMoose 666180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: @highwire: I always felt embarrassed too. I would always buy prenatal vitamins along with the tests so that cashier would know I was hoping for a positive and not possibly knocked up by accident. Is that weird? Yes, I'm sure it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/busted#post-666168 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:03:31 +0000 Foodnerd81 666168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! I would be so embarrassed-- I was always embarrassed just buying them from the checkout person! However, if I was your friend, I would have just not looked at what you were buying, pointedly looked away, and not mentioned it :) </p> <p>The only dollar store near me is just down the street from my work-- I was so nervous I'd run into someone the couple times I bought them there. Then I just bought them on Amazon to avoid any issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/busted#post-666160 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:01:36 +0000 DillonLion 666160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never ran into anyone I know but I always feel SO embarrassed buying pregnancy tests. So silly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/busted#post-666146 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 14:56:26 +0000 Dandelion 666146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is why I've always just ordered the 50 pack from amazon, lol. Lasts me a few months and I don't have to risk anything like that! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/busted#post-666144 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 14:55:33 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 666144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just picked up some cheep tests (on the job) at the dollar store, okay I grabbed 7 cause its all the way on the other side of town, &amp; got busted! Ran into someone I knew briefly several years ago &amp; apparentlywe are FB friends cause she knew all about what's been going on. Then she looks at the pile of tests at the check out and says oh my. I said yeah well you can never have to many on hand...she asked if we were trying &amp; I felt I had to say yes due pile of test that laid before me. Opps. </p> <p>Has this ever happened to you? </p>
