I live in a small town and I am always terrified that I will run into someone I know! DH thinks it is silly, because we are married there is nothing to be embarrassed about...XP </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-embarrassed-buying-tests#post-1953932 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 23:39:59 +0000 FannyMae 1953932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not embarassed by the cashier, im more like a paranoid android looking around incase anyone I know is in the vicinity, and hiding the packet under random items grabbed off the shelf.... oh yeah I totally need 5 deodorants and some toothpaste! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-embarrassed-buying-tests#post-1953888 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 22:49:16 +0000 blackbird 1953888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amazon FTW </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-embarrassed-buying-tests#post-1953882 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 22:45:46 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 1953882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a little embarrassed one time when we went grocery shopping as a family and my husband grabbed some condoms right before we left. I felt like the cashier was going to judge us but then I thought looking at the two crazy children we had in the cart they might be thinking "Ah thats why they need it!" lok </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-embarrassed-buying-tests#post-1953796 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 21:49:08 +0000 avivoca 1953796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! It's mortifying, especially when they set off the alarms at the drugstore (which has happened to me TWICE). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-embarrassed-buying-tests#post-1953778 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 21:43:20 +0000 MamaBehr 1953778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a whole bunch at the dollar store recently. Buying the tests alone doesn't embarrass me, but it bought ALOT with my three other children in tow... Who were behaving poorly.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-embarrassed-buying-tests#post-1953754 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 21:31:31 +0000 78h2o 1953754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loki: I mostly felt embarrassed when I'd buy more than one box at a time! I generally tried to buy OPKs and HPTs together because I felt like it sent the message it would be a planned pregnancy, lol! I also made sure my wedding ring was very visable :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-embarrassed-buying-tests#post-1953547 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 20:35:55 +0000 simplyfelicity 1953547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Slightly embarrassed as the dollar store I get my cheapies at is near the high school many of my former students attend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-embarrassed-buying-tests#post-1953520 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 20:27:28 +0000 Boogs 1953520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did, so I would totally do self checkout for that reason! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-embarrassed-buying-tests#post-1953508 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 20:21:40 +0000 Eko 1953508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YOUR WORRIES ARE TOTALLY VALIDATED. One time I was checking out and the male worker ringing me out came out and asked me if it was an accident or on purpose :bummed: I now only buy them online or where there is self checkout. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-embarrassed-buying-tests#post-1953494 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 20:16:00 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 1953494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Didn't care what they thought. In retrospect I do wonder if a couple of younger checkers thought I was too OLD to be buying tests, lol! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-embarrassed-buying-tests#post-1953338 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 18:04:43 +0000 Espion 1953338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I was proud of it, because I was so excited that I might get a BFP. I was a little more shy with it before I had a wedding band to show off, though. lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-embarrassed-buying-tests#post-1953311 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 17:45:54 +0000 auggiefrog 1953311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me too. So far I've bought all mine online. I think I'd make my DH buy them or go through a self checkout if I ever had to buy them in person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-embarrassed-buying-tests#post-1953296 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 17:35:54 +0000 pui 1953296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I never was embarrassed buying condoms/tampons either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-embarrassed-buying-tests#post-1953294 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 17:34:59 +0000 JessKas 1953294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not now. When I was younger, and had a pregnancy scare I was totally embarrassed. It didn't help that the cashier said, "oh shit, you think you're pregnant? kids are so much work!" ummm, thanks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-embarrassed-buying-tests#post-1953271 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 17:25:00 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1953271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: Yes, but I was more embarrassed to buy condoms - haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-embarrassed-buying-tests#post-1953256 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 17:18:23 +0000 autumnlove 1953256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-embarrassed-buying-tests#post-1953241 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 17:10:09 +0000 snowjewelz 1953241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a little embarrassed getting OPKs and pregnancy tests! I chose the lane w/ a nice older lady lol.</p> <p>ETA: I couldn't do pre-seed in person... I had to get it online! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-embarrassed-buying-tests#post-1953238 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 17:08:01 +0000 mrs scrapbook 1953238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't embarrassed, but I once embarrassed a guy on line by buying tests. He had just gotten on line and I was right behind him. He was telling his child to go get his wife (the kid's mom) who was looking at something. </p> <p>He turned around (I assume to see if I had a lot of stuff and tell me to go ahead while he waited for his wife) and when he saw just my pregnancy test, he turned all kinds of shades of red and stammered that I should go ahead of him. </p> <p>I had no idea why he got so flustered! I mean, he obviously had a child, so his wife had to have taken a pregnancy test once. But it made me giggle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-embarrassed-buying-tests#post-1953220 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 16:59:08 +0000 MrsStar 1953220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! The last time I bought some, the cashier insisted on putting them in a paper bag for me even though I said not to bother - I think she was embarrassed for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-embarrassed-buying-tests#post-1953144 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 16:21:26 +0000 macintosh 1953144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only time I got embarrassed was at a dollar store where you have to ask for them at the register. The girl asked how many I wanted and I said 5 lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-embarrassed-buying-tests#post-1953142 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 16:20:08 +0000 jedeve 1953142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! And my store locks them up with a bunch of other stuff so you have to ask. No way am I going to ask the 60 year old male pharmacist to get some lube for me. </p> <p>Sometimes I want to test because I am paranoid I am going to have another surprise pregnancy but there is no way I am going to buy a pack with a 22 month old and a 5 month old in tow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-embarrassed-buying-tests#post-1953121 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 16:09:09 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1953121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: ha! I'm the same. I look young so I feel like I'm being judged. </p> <p>I actually bought one today (negative, not trying!) and had my 8 month old in tow. I think the lady thought I was crazy.</p> <p> @lawbee11: when I was pregnant and bought a test I was buying one from the dollar store to confirm the million I had already taken. I also bought a pack of gum and gel pens. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-embarrassed-buying-tests#post-1953117 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 16:07:11 +0000 Sunshine1810 1953117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only time I get embarrassed is during IVF cycles because I buy multiple boxes and I know they think I am insane! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-embarrassed-buying-tests#post-1953114 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 16:06:06 +0000 stiletto_mom 1953114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I don't get embarrassed, but I HAVE been "side-eyed" by a cashier. I look young but really don't care. It's none of their business. </p>
