I almost always did them at night anyway. I would not have wanted to find out first thing in the morning and still be processing the news at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2387205 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 19:53:05 +0000 JoJoGirl 2387205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Thanks!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2386840 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 09:51:12 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2386840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: @ShootingStar: Congratulations ladies!!! :grin: </p> <p>I took a pregnancy test once at work, but for me since I don't have a workplace it was actually a Walmart bathroom. It was so awkward. I don't sit on public toilets and trying to get the stream and balance was just a bad idea! The test was positive, but this was back during my first pregnancy that ended with a m/c. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2386753 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 01:10:22 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2386753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only ever did urine tests at home with FMU/SMU, but I did a blood test before going to work one morning and got the positive results at work via phone call. I walked into my classroom and told my co-teacher because I had to tell someone! I don't have a good poker face so don't think I could handle POAS at work! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2386656 Sat, 12 Dec 2015 20:38:24 +0000 hellobeeboston 2386656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!!! I found out I was pregnant with my first in my office! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2386572 Sat, 12 Dec 2015 16:42:34 +0000 winniebee 2386572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: woah congratS!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2386544 Sat, 12 Dec 2015 16:06:37 +0000 JoJoGirl 2386544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: Thanks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2386231 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 22:22:44 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2386231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: I prefer to dip in a cup too and for OPKs I totally brought in a old coffee cup and took it with me to the bathroom in my purse. When done, I dumped it in the toilet then washed it in the sink. Don't judge me! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2386133 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 20:20:35 +0000 Mrs. Peanut 2386133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! I know of other people who have, but I agree with @sapphire: why wouldn't you just test at home that morning or the next morning? Seems odd to me. Besides, I would be in a rush of emotions and not be able to focus on work at all afterwards. I like DH there when I test too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2386067 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 18:27:48 +0000 Foodnerd81 2386067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way. Mostly because of I ever got a BFP there how am I going to get through the rest of the day?? And for all the reasons @PawPrints: mentioned. But I like to have some on hand at home so I could always check with fmu anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2386005 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 16:51:25 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2386005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: :heart: :bfp: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2385983 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 16:32:17 +0000 beloved 2385983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once ! It was negative ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2385899 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 15:24:18 +0000 ShootingStar 2385899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never did until 2 days ago. I only had wondfos at home and I kept thinking they were a light positive and it would disappear. I had so many symptoms I just felt like I was going crazy. So I got a 3 pack of FRERs on the way to work and took one later that morning. Still negative! And it was kind of gross, I'm not used to not being able to dip them. And I didn't want to get rid of it and I felt like it smelled. Ugh.</p> <p>But then yesterday morning I took another it was positive :D. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2385892 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 15:22:02 +0000 sapphire 2385892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't understand why one wouldn' t just check in the morning at home? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2385764 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 14:22:13 +0000 mauxie 2385764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup! quite a few times :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2385691 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 13:52:01 +0000 PawPrints 2385691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg no. No way. Do you just sit in the stall for five minutes? Take the pee stick back to your desk with you? Hang out by the sink and pray your coworkers don't come in? Not happening. Besides, I preferred the dip-stick-in-cup method and I was not going to pee in a cup at work. I didn't do OPKs there either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2385647 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 13:21:32 +0000 avivoca 2385647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Once earlier this year (negative) and a couple of times early in my pregnancy with H. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2385633 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 13:08:49 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2385633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did OPKs at work but never pregnancy tests. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2385612 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 12:49:39 +0000 sotofamilia 2385612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I realized at work that I was two weeks late for my period, and went out to get a pregnancy test. I got a blaring positive in the bathroom at Safeway for baby #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2385611 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 12:48:29 +0000 kodybear 2385611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope! but i did find a used one in the bathroom trash at work and i may have looked (didn't touch it) to see what the result was... (negative fyi) .haha gross and invasion of space i know but i couldn't help myself and if it was secret you should really hide it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2385604 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 12:40:15 +0000 Cherrybee 2385604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, loads! :shocked: </p> <p>@JoJoGirl: Was that actually today? Congratulations! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2385582 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 12:28:13 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2385582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did lots of OPKs at work since those are supposed to be taken in the afternoon. But no pregnancy tests! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2385489 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 11:06:30 +0000 wrkbrk 2385489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I did opks at work. I had to since I was supposed to test at 2 pm to come in the next day if it was positive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2385472 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 10:51:55 +0000 snowjewelz 2385472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! B/c I tested while on vacation once and it was a faint positive; and then when we came home it was the weekend and I did it twice to confirm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2385463 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 10:47:14 +0000 gentlelunette 2385463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes 😬 I had a box of tests in my work bag. I tested early because I just had this feeling. I probably took 3 at work leading up to my period (all BFN) and then the fourth (BFP) at home on the weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2385437 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 10:28:29 +0000 JoJoGirl 2385437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: Haha yeah! It was sort of crazy. Tuesday morning I took a test, negative, threw it away. Tuesday night I got home from work and fished it out of the trash and there was a line! Weds am I took another Wondfo and it was still a squinter, so when I got to work yesterday, I ran out to the store to buy a FRER and took it in my work bathroom. :) This morning's wondfo was a true positive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2385431 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 10:20:40 +0000 cascademom 2385431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. The night before, I drunkenly tested with a Wondfo and got a positive. The next morning I went to Walgreens, got a FRER, and tested in the bathroom. That was when I got my big positive with LO #1. With LO #2, I didn't test at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2385424 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 10:17:32 +0000 MrsRcCar 2385424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I tested when I found I was pregnant with E at work. I am almost threw up at my desk. 😳 So I figured why wait until I get home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2385421 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 10:10:07 +0000 mamabolt 2385421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I've held out to test on a weekend every time. It worked out to be around 10-13 dpo for each pregnancy and gave me time to process at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-test-while-at-work#post-2385417 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 10:07:35 +0000 runnerd 2385417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: wait, does that mean you got good news??!!!! :heart: :heart:</p> <p>Yes I got my first ever BFP at work. </p>
