Does anyone else keep pregnancy tests on hand even when not 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!
-
Oh i always keep a couple on hand for emergencies, even though i have an IUD. I have yet to use them.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Haha I don't! I don't even know if I have any extra's from last time!
-
I have extras from when I was ttc, but then I have the problem of them expiring before I need to use them again
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
-
I just ordered the cheapo OPKS and pregnancy tests came with them, so I have them in the house again!
-
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...
-
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.
-
I had a spare but I no longer have any pregnancy tests in the house.
-
Yep! Leftovers from when we were TTC #1. Luckily, because they came in handy when I needed one for #2.
-
No way. My husband would freak out if he found them. Haha.
-
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.
-
Yes! Mostly because I had a giant amazon batch. And then I was BFing without birth control or a period so I tested frequently.
-
I actually just tossed all of my expired tests but I have a mirena and my DH got snipped this year sooo I'm calling that damn well impossible
-
I keep a box of two at home just in case.
