Confession: How many hpt's did you take?

easjer05 · August 2011

For me:

4 internet cheapies (2 @ 9 dpo, 1 @ 10 dpo, 1 today)

2 First Response (1 @ 10 dpo, 1 today)

2 Clearblue Easy Digital (1 @ 10 dpo, 1 today)

1 Target brand (today)

I just don't exactly believe it, I guess. Really eager to get the betas going so I have a better idea what is happening. Given how quickly they turned positive and how dark they are, and how early it is, I'm feeling more optimistic than usual. For now.

One, but I'm going to go out on a limb here & say I'm the minority.

We were very ready to start having kids & planned this out as well as we could. We got KU the first try, both times. I'm kinda surprised, but I'm also too cheap too go out buying lots of tests.

Belizelovers · August 2011

Oh lord I am quite embarassed cause I have taken alot Embarrassed

1 IC at 8 DPO BFN (stupid but thought it would control the phantom symptoms that turned out not to be phantom)

1 IC at 11 DPO BFN (after spotting at 10DPO)

1 IC at 13 DPO with faint line backed up with digital to confirm then took a Dollar tree test cause Ito compare for fun. Then I took a wondfo opk (negative) and digital opk (positve) for the girls on TTGP because they were wondering if opk's could be used as pg test and I had plenty left over Smile

14DPO Digital cause MH was wondering if I should take one more before we told people

16 DPO IC just because I like to see the positive and was curious if the line would get darker the first one was so light

Hello my name is Courtney and I am POAS addict

J&PJax · August 2011

1 FRER @ 11 DPO - faint positive

1 FRER @ 12 DPO - faint positive

2 FRER @ 13 DPO - faint positive

1 digital @14 DPO - positive

blood test @14 DPO - positive

The faint positives were all SO faint. We really didn't completely accept reality until the blood test. I still have an unused digital....probably not for long... Resisting temptation to get another FRER to see if the line is darker now!!

texasmeg1 · August 2011

More than I can count, no lie. I started at 6dpo this cycle!!! Got a faint last night at 9DPO and positive digital today, along with 4 or 5 ICs and a FRER from today too. I'm craaazy. At least I have like 60 more ICs to get me through....

ashleym373 · August 2011

I had some left over from last month's testing, which was our first month ttc. But I both a pack of FRER and just went to the dollar store to buy a couple more...crazy I know

So overall:

10DPO- very faint line:Answer hpt

11DPO- faint line:Answer hpt, pregnant: digital CVS hpt, slightly darker than arly line: FRER (overboard, yes I know, but DH wanted to see the line again)

12DPO- dark line: FRER hpt

15DPO- dark line-Dollar Store hpt

I feel like I will do a dollar store brand once a week until my appointment. Crazy I know, but I like the reassurance.

mamalongarms · August 2011

I got a BFP on my first test this cycle with FRER. It was a light line so now I'm just using up my others everyday until I get one with a test line the same tint as the control line. Its close but not quite there.

I still have 1 FRER left, 5 IC, and 3 dollar store tests. I plan to use them all Smile

KINZYD · August 2011

I'm currently up to 6, but have 4 more in the cabinet and will probably take at least one more just for grins & giggles.

5 internet cheapies (10dpo in the am, 10dpo in the pm, 12 dpo, 13 dpo, & 14dpo)

1 Walgreen's brand digital (10dpo pm)

It obviously took a while for me to believe it. Smile

Jellybean707 · August 2011

2 FRER, 2 CBE digital and a few OPKs just for fun

faydre · August 2011

1- IC to confirm hcg was out of my system

2 - cbe digi's one on 11 dpo and one on 12 dpo

then I had my beta and I have one test left just in case.

postcards · August 2011

7 IC's - one every day since last Monday.
1 CBE digi - I had been hanging onto it for almost a year to confirm BFP
1 OPK - to see what it looked like. I'm either pregnant or ovulating

I've been testing everyday, but now all I'm left with is (40) OPKs. But I think I'm done with the daily testing now...I hope!

Mrs.Deputy · August 2011

10 DPO I took 1 Wal-Mart brand that I had leftover. It was blue dye and gave me a faint line, so I didn't trust it.

11 DPO I went and bought a digi and it came up positive right away. It didn't even take the whole time.

I have one more digi that I'll probably take.

CurtisandKellie · August 2011

Three tests total for me:

1 internet cheapie on 10dpo in the morning - very faint line

1 internet cheapie on 10dpo in the evening - faint but non squinty line

1 EPT digital on 10dpo to confirm

After reading y'all responses, I want to pee on a couple more just for fun.

luvinlifeMN · August 2011

Just one...it was a digital and the word 'pregnant' popped up in less than a minute!

johnson617 · August 2011

I've taken 2 FRERs. One last night, and then 1 again this morning to make sure. It was all I have, so I don't intend on buying more. Although I may be tempted :-P

shastalily · August 2011

I took 4. I knew I wanted to try testing early because I started having symptoms within a few DPO's and it was driving me crazy. I bought 2 Dollar Tree tests and I had a two pack Equate Early Response (I think that's what it's called).

10 DPO very faint, almost non-existant line on Dollar Tree test

11 DPO slightly darker, still faint line on $$ Tree test (still not calling it for sure bfp)

12 DPO Line turned blue while still POAS on Equate test...definite BFP!

13 DPO Decided I may as well use my last test and again it turned BFP as I was POAS.

huskymomma94 · August 2011

I got my first faint line on an IC at 10DPO. Two more at 11 DPO, One more at 12 DPO.....And I've randomly taken like 3 since then. DH thinks I am insane. I told him I should stop taking them, and he just said "eh, you seem to get a kick out of it....keep on peeing on stuff, I don't care." lol.

winter-shock · August 2011

I took one. It took approximately ten seconds to show positive, just as it did with my first!

spunkyprincessmande · August 2011

I took 3.

But back in March I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. About a week later I started bleeding. We had bloodwork and an u/s only to discover that I was never pregnant (hcg levels were 0 and there was no sac or anything on the u/s). I got a false positive so DH told me I had to take at least 2 different brand tests on at least 2 different days to make sure.

MrsW2000 · August 2011

At least I'm not alone in this:

1 Answer brand @ 6DPO (I know, I know but it came free with my OPKs)- BFN

1 FRER @ 7DPO (I'm hard headed)- BFN

1 FRER @ 10DPO- BFN

1 FRER @ 12DPO- BFP

1 FRER Digital @ 12DPO- BFP

1 FRER Digital @ 17 DPO (I had to make sure Smile )- BFP

I have one more FRER Digital left. I'm saving that puppy for right before my first prenatal appointment.

kari.sandall · August 2011

3 but still fighting the urge to take more....

KayteandRob · August 2011

Since last Thursday when I got my first BFP, I've taken 8 internet cheapies and a CBE digital. I can't help myself. It's giving me peace of mind to see that second line getting darker and showing up faster. Good thing I had just stocked up on ICs! I have another digital from the 2 pack I got that I may or may not take at some point Smile

RequiresExalted · August 2011

Um. I'll let you know when I stop.
