     Topic: How to POAS..bit of a laugh     Posted: 14 August 2009 at 10:37pm | 
 
 
  
   
   
   I found this on another website as I was trawling the web for info on TTC     and it made me smile...
 Step One: Pee on the absorbent end of the stick for a full 20 seconds more than the recommended time, just in case the urine at the top of your bladder has more hormones than the urine that comes out first. (Try not to pee on hands, toilet seat, stick handle or floor.)  
 
 Step Two: Stare at the test windows for the full 10 minute waiting period, pee a few more drops on it just in case you didn't pee enough the first time, hold it up to the light, hold it at eye level, hold it up in front of a window, toss it away after not seeing anything within the 10-minute limit, retrieve them from the garbage can 30 minutes later and hold it again up to the light, go outside to look at it in the sun, take a picture of it with a digital camera and publish the picture on FF so that hundreds of like-minded, obsessed women can pore over it, enlarge it, invert it and otherwise alter it on any one of a number of photo editing programs, declare that they DO IN FACT SEE A LINE and post emoticons of jumpy green men in jubilant celebration of your obviously impending pregnancy.  
 
 Step Three:  Repeat steps one and two several times daily beginning 7 days past ovulation (DPO) and continuing until 3 days after period starts. Promise yourself you are not going to pee on anything this next cycle.

   Well, I have been as extreme as putting a lighter flame under the test to see if it would bring out a line .... ha ha

   yip, yip, yes do all that, especially the bit about the light, window... and the bit about throwing it away but always getting it out. 
 My mum found she was UTD with my 11yr old sister from the bin and my BF threw hers on the floor in disgust went and had a cry, thought she'd better pic it up and BFP. 
 So I do all of those things just incase it will change the BFN outcome.
 
 There is always a good excuse for a BFN and another POAS until AF arrives.

Thank goodness! Someone who takes it to even more of an extreme.
 It almost makes me feel normal - worst I've got to is visiting multiple pharmacies and buying 2 tests in each... so that one person wouldnt think I'd lost my marbles buying 10 at a time.
