Mostly because I had a giant amazon batch. And then I was BFing without birth control or a period so I tested frequently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-always-keep-them-on-hand#post-2359814 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 13:41:42 +0000 erinbaderin 2359814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spent 5 years TTC and never kept pregnancy tests on hand - I found it too disappointing to have them come up negative, so my rules were a) only if I was at least 2 days late b) only a package with a single test c) buy it and take it immediately. This let me minimize how much money I wasted on making myself depressed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-always-keep-them-on-hand#post-2359788 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 13:23:36 +0000 mediagirl 2359788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way. My husband would freak out if he found them. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-always-keep-them-on-hand#post-2359783 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 13:17:24 +0000 Ash 2359783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Leftovers from when we were TTC #1. Luckily, because they came in handy when I needed one for #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-always-keep-them-on-hand#post-2359758 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 13:01:27 +0000 BandDmommy 2359758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a spare but I no longer have any pregnancy tests in the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-always-keep-them-on-hand#post-2359754 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 12:55:03 +0000 winniebee 2359754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Raises hand. I do. And the "let's just take one so I can put this out of my mind" test one time was positive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-always-keep-them-on-hand#post-2359737 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 12:44:37 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2359737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I can't get pregnant without IF treatments so I used all my tests in the first trimester and haven't bought more. I was obsessed with watching the line get darker. I probably had 20 tests... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-always-keep-them-on-hand#post-2359721 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 12:35:38 +0000 jlm22 2359721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just ordered the cheapo OPKS and pregnancy tests came with them, so I have them in the house again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-always-keep-them-on-hand#post-2359716 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 12:34:36 +0000 nana87 2359716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have extras from when I was ttc, but then I have the problem of them expiring before I need to use them again :silly: I've used a couple expired ones when my period was a little late, or when we had an oops (we use condoms and didn't use one because I thought it wasn't my fertile window, when it was...), but I haven't restocked yet, though we'll start ttc sometime this winter/spring </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-always-keep-them-on-hand#post-2359712 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 12:33:37 +0000 snowjewelz 2359712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha I don't! I don't even know if I have any extra's from last time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-always-keep-them-on-hand#post-2359698 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 12:25:30 +0000 rattles 2359698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't buy them to have on hand, but I had extras from last time that I hung on to for just such occasions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-always-keep-them-on-hand#post-2359668 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 12:11:05 +0000 Cherrybee 2359668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I much prefer the 'peeing in a cup first thing in the morning and hiding it in the house, so I can grab a test on my lunch break and test secretly that evening once I've put E to bed' method. I voted *you* crazy. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-always-keep-them-on-hand#post-2359662 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 12:08:25 +0000 blackbird 2359662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh i always keep a couple on hand for emergencies, even though i have an IUD. I have yet to use them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-always-keep-them-on-hand#post-2359650 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 12:02:36 +0000 LuLu Mom 2359650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone else keep pregnancy tests on hand even when <i>not </i>TTC? I keep a box under the sink for those "I'm freaking out for no real reason" moments. I have a mirena, so there should be no worries but well old habits I guess! </p>
