Why I won't pee on a stick

Okay, the title isn't exactly accurate. I pee on a stick (POAS) all the time - OPKs.

But for the last several months, I have resisted the urge to pee on a home pregnancy test. I just won't do it.

At the beginning of this TTC journey, I was all about peeing on a stick. I did it at 8 dpo (no idea why) all the way till AF reared her ugly head.

All I did was waste my money because I never believed the results.

The whole point of a HPT is to tell you whether or not you're pregnant. Despite the fact that they were all STARK WHITE, I found a way to justify why they were negative:

• I implanted late
• I'm one of those people who never get a positive result
• My test is defective
• I just need to wait a few more days

Never did I accept that I simply wasn't pregnant... not until AF showed up.

So the last few months, I've saved myself the drama and saved some money by resisting the urge. Since the only thing that would convince me that I wasn't pregnant was AF, I'd just wait until I saw her.

Only if I was one full day late was I going to allow myself to test.

So far this plan has worked. I don't think I've taken a test in about 3 or 4 months.
