Hey, I was going to be bummed if it was a BFN... I needed to have a glass of wine on hand! I always got weird looks when I did that:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-embarrassed-to-buy-hpt#post-235297 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 10:18:29 +0000 Foodnerd81 235297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Seriously? Where do you live? I see the condoms as a good idea-- better people can get them whenever and wherever they need them-- but do people really get out of the train and think, hmm.... maybe I should pick up a HPT on my way home... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-embarrassed-to-buy-hpt#post-235286 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 10:13:18 +0000 mrstilly 235286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You know what is more awkward than buying a pregnancy test? Buying a pregnancy test and condoms from an early 20s male cashier who decides he must comment rather than ignore it and ring you up. </p> <p>I had a pregnancy worry last month, and that was my purchase, followed closely by filling a new script for BC pills. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-embarrassed-to-buy-hpt#post-235122 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 08:43:40 +0000 looch 235122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where I live, you can buy condoms and HPTs in the vending machines at the train station. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-embarrassed-to-buy-hpt#post-235118 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 08:42:08 +0000 wheres_c 235118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always go to the grocery store with the self-checkout to avoid any embarrassment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-embarrassed-to-buy-hpt#post-234928 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 03:08:37 +0000 gracecat 234928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to Rite-Aid and the male cashier just HAD to comment. The thing was, he thought I was buying a huge bulk pack of HPTs but in fact I was buying mostly Ovulation test kits, so that was also really embarrassing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-embarrassed-to-buy-hpt#post-234706 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 19:43:49 +0000 cvbee 234706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my friend ordered one online to get around the in-store awkwardness </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-embarrassed-to-buy-hpt#post-234689 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 19:23:08 +0000 stargal 234689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thats hilarious! i disliked buying them bc i look like im 16 and could JUST feel eyes on me pitying me when in fact i was hoping for a positive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-embarrassed-to-buy-hpt#post-234679 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 19:15:54 +0000 sslm 234679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I seriously lol'd, and then promptly showed DH the headline. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-embarrassed-to-buy-hpt#post-234460 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 16:16:59 +0000 ladyfingers 234460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Yeah it was the whole bar thing that made it odd for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-embarrassed-to-buy-hpt#post-234457 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 16:15:48 +0000 Foodnerd81 234457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: To be honest, I HAVE taken a HPT before having a drink, my first month off the pill. At home, before a few glasses of wine, certainly not at a bar (because, ew, how gross are bar bathrooms?).<br /> It's just... interesting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-embarrassed-to-buy-hpt#post-234453 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 16:12:03 +0000 ladyfingers 234453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow... I have never been at a bar and thought, I should probably take a pregnancy test before ordering this drink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-embarrassed-to-buy-hpt#post-234444 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 16:07:21 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 234444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-embarrassed-to-buy-hpt#post-234431 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 15:55:49 +0000 Alivoo01 234431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>you have got to be kidding me... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-embarrassed-to-buy-hpt#post-234417 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 15:50:31 +0000 kokobee 234417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>... wow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-embarrassed-to-buy-hpt#post-234412 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 15:41:37 +0000 Foodnerd81 234412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can buy one from a dispenser at a bar now!<br /> <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/health/2012/07/20/bar-installs-pregnancy-test-dispenser/" rel="nofollow">http://www.foxnews.com/health/2012/07/20/bar-installs-pregnancy-test-dispenser/</a> </p> <p>I guess it makes sense... </p>
