Am I crazy? POAS at 6w4d

To be honest, I've been feeling less pregnant these past few days. The cramping stopped sometime during week four. My boob sensitivity was extra high until a couple of days ago. Now it's kindda mild. I'm even less exhausted at the end of the day! Haven't had any nausea or dizziness. So, my PGAL brain is telling me something must be wrong. My 5w u/s went great and my RE said he didn't need to see me anymore. Said to call him only if there was bleeding or extreme pain (it kindda felt like he broke up with me. I was even a bit sad). My first prenatal app is on June 6 and that just feels so far away!!
So, I had one last cheap-o test and I went ahead and used it. I just wanted to see if it was as dark as my last one. Thank goodness it was pretty dark! So my mind is a tiny bit more at ease. But it still kills me to have to wait for that second u/s.
Am I the only one who has taken another pregnancy test this far along just to ease their mind? Any of you guys feeling like this? Or am I a paranoid/crazy lady?

It's not crazy, but bear in mind if you had a loss, it can take awhile for the HCG levels to drop. So it is possible to still have a positive test but not be having a viable pregnancy. Sorry to be a Debbie Downer.
With that being said, I had some weird pain last week and they sent me for an ultrasound. I definitely took a test the night before even rationally knowing what I just told you.
I figured that too, which is why my mind is only a tiny bit more at ease. It was just the only thing I could do since I have no "real" reason to go to my RE and ask for another ultrasound. I thought if the line was any lighter then that would justify making that call. Guess I'll just have to keep playing the waiting game like everyone else!
Not crazy at all, I did the same thing a week ago when I started spotting.
I could have written this. I am 5 wks and 1 day, and late yesterday and this morning have NO symptoms all of a sudden. Boobs hurt way less, no cramping, no nausea or heart burn, the bloat is gone, not really dizzy or thirsty, nothing at all. I poas this morning (a digi) and it took a while but pregnant did finally pop up. I know POAS means nothing, but hearing others have the same thing: a day or two without symptoms - makes me feel better. Dr. appointment Friday
will have to just wait and see.
Ha! I took one again on last Sunday for the same reason. I also read that symptoms can be the strongest in the 9th week but that some women are lucky enough to not have any. I'm sure it gave you peace of mind tho! So no harm in that...
I tested again about a week later (4w3d) because I wasn't feeling many symptoms. My line was much darker. That made me happy

My tests at 3w5d and 3w6d were both negative (stark white)! No positive until 4w3d. Baby kept us in suspense!
I have been going crazy about lack of symptoms as well. I am half way into my 6th week (can't get ticker to work!) and I've hardly had any symptoms except feeling more tired and increase in boob size. I feel like more should be happening and because its not its worrying me. I'm not sure if POAS would help... I keep reminding myself the biggest symptom is AF not showing up and usually that happens every 29 days! I think once I have m first prenatal appt. I'll feel better!
Absolutely this. When I found out that I had a missed miscarriage, my level was still at 99,000. I had positive tests for weeks after.
But I do understand the inclination. It's just for me, it doesn't hold any meaning. So I won't be peeing on any more sticks. I promised myself that today (at 18dpo) would be my last one, and only because if my beta number went down, I wanted to have some sort of warning.
