I remember wanting to save the "pee on a stick" home pregnancy test that we got a BFP on.
Then I remembered that it had been peed on. So all in all, maybe not the world's most sanitary keepsake. Plus the plus sign often disappears, at least on some on the tests. Ah well...
Will you (or did you) save the BFP stick that you peed on?

Nope. I kept the three tests I took for a few days and took a photo of the positive results but then threw them out.

I kept it. It's in a plastic bag in my jewelry box. I'm not sure what I'm keeping it for though lol.

Nope, no photos either. It just seemed weird to keep the thing I peed on. I did think about it for a minute though.

I have mine but I guess a picture would be the smarter option

Ah, a picture! So much smarter.
@junebugmama: I love that you have it in your jewelry box. LOVE IT!!

I took pictures of them and kept them for like 24 hours then tossed them.

I didn't mean to, but apparently I did. My hubby just recently showed it to me and asked if he could toss it. Which I said yes.
That was from a year ago. Gross.

No, never occurred to me to save it or take a picture.

I took a picture and left it in the bathroom over night just because I had to keep looking atvit to make sure the possitive was still there lol...

I took pictures and saved the first stick, as well as the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th stick! But they started to look gross so I threw them all out. Plus, 2 of them were digitals and the "Pregnant" disappears after a couple of days.

To be fair, the part that I actually peed on is covered with a cap, but I still have mine. It's actually in the pen cup on our hall table for some unknown reason...

I'll take a picture that I'll then send to my mom and my mom-in-law (I have a mom-in-law instead of a mother-in-law - I'm so lucky!)

I plan to take a picture of it for sure and (depending on if he is in town when I take it), will save the actual stick just long enough to show DH.

I took a picture of it, and the 3 other sticks I needed just to be sure. The 1st stick is in a baggie in my bathroom cupboard, I don't want to toss it even though I know it's a little gross.
hostess / wonderful persimmon / 25556 posts
I saved both - the one that said Pregnant has disappeared so that one got thrown away. I'm really not sure why I'm holding onto the double line stick still. It's not like I'm going to put it in a scrapbook. Now that would be gross. I took pictures of both, though.

I'm may or may not have 4 positive HPT's in my jewelry box in the bottom drawer................... all from this pregnancy (my 1st!). I just like looking at them (they are all contained and cleaned) I don't know if I'm going to be able to part with them and even writing this feels like it's totally weird and I need to throw them out!

I have a picture of the very first one (mainly because I had to post it online in one of those "Holy crap, is this positive?!!?" threads) but I did not keep it. I peed on it... why would I keep it?

We took plenty of pictures but ended up tossing it after a week when the sign went away.
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21628 posts
I don't think so. I'll probably take a bunch of pictures. My mom found the test she took when she was expecting me in her hope chest and showed me. I thought it was pretty weird to still have it 20 years later.

I took a picture, but threw out the actual test after 3 or 4 days. Since it was a digi it died after a few days anyway.

I took a picture of the 3 test I took, and then promptly threw them away.

@junebugmama: Hmm....I bet a potential robber would think twice were they to open your jewelry box! 
I plan to take a picture of it. I personally cannot see myself keeping something I peed on. And I keep EVERYTHING! lol
GOLD / cantaloupe / 6703 posts
I kept it, cap on. It was something that I was going to toss, but then didn't. It stayed in the bathroom drawer because I forgot to toss it, and then, about 6 weeks later we lost the baby. We bought a pretty box to put Baby's stuff in and I put the test in there.

I took a pic and tossed all of them out. It hard for me to ignore the fact that there was pee on it haha.

I gave mine to my friend to prank her boyfriend. (Yes we are mean and he thought it was funny once he found out it wasn't true!)

I kept mine. I am not completely sure why I did. It is my keepsake box of memories.
The line has probably faded...seems kinda gross..lol

I took a picture. No point in saving it because it was a digital and the 'Pregnant' disappeared.

I took a picture and stuck it in the medicine cabinet for about two months. Then I realized I'd never need it again, and no one would want to see the thing I peed on, not even the baby when she's older. So it's long gone in the garbage.

Nope! I took a picture of Little G's...but not Miss C's...oh well...

Just took a picture! DH was freaked out by it because I had peed on it! LOL, he better get used to a little pee here and there!
