Well, here we go. I went to pick up my new contact lenses, only to be met with a total curveball. You might still be able to track them down somewhere else for now, but finding another box of these is going to be a real nightmare...
Kate Cox2 said:For crying out loud... what other options from Johnson & Johnson am I even supposed to try???
And a quick general question for everyone: when they list the lens composition, is it actually better to have a HIGHER water content (how much?) or a LOWER one (how much?)??
I'm not sure myself; I recently switched over to Acuvue, but they’re honestly such a rip-off that I was thinking about moving to Bausch & Lomb. From what I gather, Johnson & Johnson doesn't even really make monthly lenses anymore.😢
As for that second question, I'm totally in the dark...
Kate Cox2 said:I’m actually pretty happy with the Johnson & Johnson stuff, even though I think I might give that SureVue line a shot just because they’re cheaper and monthly. It'll be good to have something to compare them to.
You really don't need to go through all that effort, since I used those for five years before they pulled them from the shelves. http://www.jnjvision.com/surevue.htm
Thanks, I’m picking some up tomorrow. After just one more go with Complete, I’ll be officially done with it—I’ve already managed to burn through nearly the entire bottle. I’m just waiting on my new lenses to arrive before I toss the old ones...
On another note, I have a quick question. Is Bausch & Lomb actually bad, or is that just talk? I’m using Acuvue right now, but I’ve been thinking about making the switch.
I’m honestly losing my mind here. Is anyone else actually using Opti-Free? How is it working for you? Luckily, I’m finally reaching the end of this bottle, but my eyes have been driving me absolutely crazy lately; I've already made two trips to the ophthalmologist, and they just keep insisting everything looks perfectly fine.
I am living, breathing proof that phantom pregnancies are a very real thing. 😂 Honestly, I feel like a complete idiot right now... 🤣 Basically, I managed to gaslight myself into believing I was pregnant. I had the aches, the nausea, my period was late, even coffee started tasting revolting, and everything smelled like garbage... I had every single symptom you could imagine. Then I finally took a test, and it came back negative. Once I stopped obsessing over the possibility, my period showed up two days later. And if you want to know the funniest part? As much as I was terrified of seeing that positive sign, I was just as crushed when it didn't show up.
Intim plus, $20. But I highly doubt you're going to see any kind of result just two days after having sex. When are you actually supposed to take the test?
Can someone just tell me where I can actually see if those points have posted yet? I've been digging through the options, but I'm coming up empty here. Either give me a direct link to where it's listed, or stop wasting my time. This link Standard Oil shared just leads to a bunch of appeals regarding existing cards.
Joshua Clark said:Here’s another silly question for you guys: Do you think if I wait until tomorrow afternoon—say around 3 or 4 PM—to take the test, it’ll still pick up my hormone levels? I can grab the kit in the morning, but I just can't hold out until the following morning.
Look, if you've managed to hold out this long, I don't see why a few extra hours would break you. 😉 Honestly, though, I suspect the results would still be accurate because from what I can tell, you've been questioning this for quite a while now, and your period has already come and gone... If there's actually something going on, it should show up by then.

It’s entirely possible the test was just a dud and they swapped the control and positive markings by mistake. 😕 Honestly, she should just grab a new one and run the test again to be absolutely certain.
Joshua Clark said:Not a single test available?!?!?! That kind of luck only happens to you... and honestly, me too.. 😍
🤣 🤣 🤣
I was honestly stunned myself. I actually asked the woman if she was joking. 😂 Then she just gave me some line about how there was a massive rush on testing today. 🤣 I'm not buying it for a second.
I honestly can’t tell if this is some kind of cosmic joke or just plain bad luck. I headed into the CVS today, fully expecting them to be out of tests, and wouldn't you know it? The woman behind the counter tells me they've been flying off the shelves all day and they’re officially sold out! 😲 😲 I'll just have to try a different Walgreens tomorrow since I didn't manage to grab one today.
Quick question for the group—should I just go ahead and take the test tomorrow afternoon, or is it smarter to hold off until the morning? I was supposed to get results back three or four days ago, though I can never really count on them being on schedule... But honestly, I’m starting to feel some symptoms, so I figure it might actually show something by then if there's anything to find.
