TTC isn't good for my bladder

(and not in the way that you think...)

So, does anyone else have this problem? I get so used to "holding it" in the afternoons mid-cycle to build up a supply to test with an OPK that, after I've O'd, I have to keep reminding myself that it is OK to pee whenever I need to go. And then I feel like I'm wasting all that perfectly good testable pee. It could have LH! Or, even more wishful thinking, it could have HCG! How could I be letting it just go down the drain without peeing on SOMETHING?

Anyone? Just me? Okey doke.

  1. You crack me up!
    TTC certainly taught me, that pee can be precious. Particularly if it is labeled FMU:)

  2. LOL!!!! That's so funny. I think it's just you. ;) Or, at least I don't have that problem. LOL! But now you're going to make me think that! So, thanks. :)

  5. I think about that with each FMU. "Oh, there it goes...down the drain and I didn't even pee on anything."

  6. Y'know, if it would be helpful, I could maybe rig you up some dummy tests for the days in your cycle when you don't have anything to pee on. Something that will always come out "positive"--maybe some of those capsules that turn into cute little sponges when they get wet? Keep me posted. ;)

  7. I sometimes think that having my husband pee on a stick will give the same result that I would. Perhaps I've just invented a new experiment for my blog. Actually, i do have a pregnancy test I bought in China and I want to try it just to see how it says "no."
