I was addicted to POAS during my 2ww for about a year but I broke myself of that after seeing about 100 BFN's. So now I am scared to death to take one. I actually dread it. These things can make a woman go crazy and from one extreme to the other. Your urine may have been too diluted the first time. I would say you are pregnant!!! So Congrats and Best wishes!!!
