When did you stop testing?

cutelilme1210

I was wondering how many days after your bfp did you stop taking a hpt.

bbetson

The first day.  I took two tests and they were both positive.  That was confirmation enough for me.

Rossysgirl

I stopped the day I got my BFP.  Took two tests that day and that's it.  Didn't see any reason to continue spending money on tests.

I took 2 tests the day I got my bfp and didn't take any after that.  I wanted to, but I refrained   One was a digital, so I felt pretty confident.

I wish I had that will power. My lines were so light. I would feel a lot better if I saw dark lines. I guess I am scared of a cp, even though I know that there is nothing I can do to prevent it.

I tested four days in a row, about 6 tests.  We had bought a bunch online, and it was exciting to see the line every morning!  After that it felt more real, and although I still have two tests I haven't felt any need to POAS

4-5 days.  I had cheap internet test strips from a gf so I kept using one per day until they were all gone.

I was already late when I took the test, that helped calm my fears of a CP.  I did worry about it for a few days, but I didn't test.

I haven't spent any more money. I have a ton because I would get 5 every time I ordered my opks and I never tested until this cycle.

I have one at home and I may test again tonight, just to be sure. I'm a huge nerd.

I took one a few days before I thought I was due for AF and it was a faint line, then went to our local Planned Parenthood for confirmation. That's it.

I am only 2 days late right now.  I am excited that we found out early, but on the other hand, I think I worry a little more because of it. I am not stressing about it or anything but the thought it def. there.

I took one test, got a super dark line and quit then. If I had more tests I probably would have tested again but I wasn't going to go out and spend more money.

Ditto this. 

Not to mention the lack of AF was a clue that I was ku'd.

AJflowers

Um...it was pretty much until I got my 2nd beta.  I was nervous the baby wasn't going to stick, so I stocked up on $tree tests.  I didn't test everyday though.  I think the last one was 18 DPO?

ETA: I got my BFP really early.

IrishBrideND

I just took the one...

icannotwait123

I took a ton of tests.  I found out when I was 4 weeks along, and took at least 5 more tests over the course of the next two weeks.  I finally stopped testing around 6 weeks.  I'd take one now even if I could...

MrsDeHav

pretty much the same as everyone else... i took 2 tests and got my BPF so i stopped after that.

oranje_zwanger

I took 3 tests. First was negative at 9dpo, second was faint at 11  dpo and I had another test so I took it at 14dpo.

 

Also, I got a test done at the ER went I went last week. The doc messed up when he came back in and said "so your pregnancy test was negative" and my H and I both sucked in air really loud and he looked up and said "oops, I meant it was positive". We had a really awkward laugh after that.

nikkiw421

I got a faint BFP at 4pm on 12 DPO. I took another one with FMU on 13 DPO. It was dark so I stopped testing after that.

anabell0920

I took 2 just because I already had 2. lol

marzinelli17

3 days or so.

bbjoys

I got my BFP at 11 dpo.  I tested once more the next day at 12 dpo, and that was only because the digital I took on the previous day was no longer showing a result, and I wanted to show my my mom the digital.  I didn't test any more after that.

laurasue

I tested twice the day of BFP. Once the next day with a digital because I needed to see the word "Pregnant" and then once two days later so I could reproduce the results for DH who was out of town for the first BFP. I still have a bunch of cheapies but I'm afraid to take them and stress myself out about the darkness of the line or whatever.

Emmybean

Wait, we're supposed to stop testing?

loveyoubean

Even after I KNEW I was pregnant, I tested for like a week straight convinvced the baby would magically disappear... I had to use every test I had bought (and I bought muchos tests) before I could rest.  DH thought I was insane... nope, just pregnant!

Me too

thomas&lynn

I got my BFP last Saturday but it was so faint I had to test again on Sunday with a digital to confirm, so that's 1 day after bfp. No further testing (because I was blissfully happy and didn't have any reason to worry........plus I had used my last test) ensued until Thursday when I had a bleeding issue. I've tested every day since then and I have one more test to use tomorrow afternoon.

So I will stop after tomorrow and then just wait for my viability u/s this Friday to finally feel confident again in my pregnancy.

 

urbanwifey

Not to be a debbie downer but if you keep testing it will show as positive even if you have or are miscarrying.  (I cannot speak to how testing would reflect a chemical pregnancy, but in the case of miscarriage you can have a positive test for something around 6 weeks after passing the tissue.)

But if you already have the tests and can't help using them, I just don't want you ladies running out and spending money without all the info.

shari_rngleson

i only took 1 hpt and got a +. i did not take anymore after that

bakedlaurabean

I just took one, that was enough for me. It was digital, so I had no trouble reading lines. I even had a two-pack and never took the other one. I'll have to lend it to one of my friends who are trying. 

Jennicap

I only took 1 test, it was postive so I didn't see the point in wasting more money on something I would get the same answer I've already gotten.
