Have you ever thrown away a pregnancy test after assuming it's negative, and then later gone to fish it out of the trash to see if there's something there? I've seen a bunch of people mention doing this, and it made me relieved that I'm not the only trash diver : )
-
Oh yeah. I'm an obsessor! Show me an old test and I'll show you crazy new ways to examine it!
-
YES! That's how I found out I am currently pregnant
-
Yes and it was an Evap line that totally messed with my head. I vowed never to do it again (easy since I got pregnant the next cycle, and probably won't ever ttc again).
-
Damn straight - never when it was actually positive though.
I challenge anyone who has TTC for 2 years to make it without doing that when you have irregular cycles like me.
-
Totally
-
That's how I found out I was pregnant with J!
-
All the time haha. It's a bad habit
-
yes, and I only use FRERs, but for me they stayed white as a sheet unless a line came up within 10-15 minutes.
-
Yep! That's how I found out I was pg with my first!
-
Oh yes. Especially with dollar trees
-
Yep, once. There was an evap line so I convinced myself it was positive. AF showed up later that night. Now I wrap it up and throw it in the outside trash can to avoid temptation!
-
Never. I just leave them on the back of the toilet for a few days so I can obsess without going through the trash.
-
Yes! I tested 4 days before AF was due. It was a BFN but when I fished it out later in the day, there was a line. A few days later I tested and it was a blaring positive.
-
Yep - I fished my very first pregnancy test out of the trash at 4 a.m. after waking in the middle of the night and wondering if the faint line I'd seen earlier was really a positive (I was a newbie to this all and thought the line was so light there was no way that meant a positive!). Sure enough, it was a positive and we have our 3.5 yr old DD1 as a result
I've never thrown away another test as I've actually never had a negative pregnancy test and I keep all of my positives under the sink for absolute ages (case in point, I'm 18 weeks right now and still have ten tests sitting under my sink from when I first found out about this baby!)

@oliviaoblivia: hahhahahahah
-
Every time!!!!!!
-
Yes that's how I found out I was pregnant with #2!
-
No, but only because I don't throw them away till long after the time window.
-
Guilty!
-
has there ever been a pregnancy test that I haven't fished out of the trash? haha I can't help it!
-
Yep, that's how I figured I out I was pregnant this go round!
-
Nope!
-
@MrsB2012: right?!
-
@FaithFertility: I'm glad I'm not the only one who just can't help it
-
Definitely! I did this with my first pregnancy, which resulted in M
