Ok, POAS-aholics... when did you stop POAS?

I may need to buy stock in those pg tests! I still do at least one, sometimes two every day.  Today my line was so dark you couldn't tell it apart from the test line - a new milestone :-) I know I should just believe it already but with my RE "not doing US until at least 7 weeks unless there is a problem", it might be a long two weeks.....

    I am a POAS-aholic.  I wish I weren't but I couldn't help myself!

    I probably POAS up until 5 weeks, maybe less.  The line got so dark and eventually it just looked the same day after day.  I figured that my HCG was high enough at 5 weeks that even if something were wrong and it started dropping, I wouldn't be able to tell by the darkness of the lines for a while. 

    Good luck!  Hope times flies for your u/s!

    Ha - I'm no help. Between you and me, I took my last pg test at 12 weeks pregnant. Yes, that was after 6 different u/s - every single one was right on track and healthy with heartbeats.

    I think my last one was at 22 dpiui, I still have about 10 test left, but they really started to give me anxiety so I am making myself not pee on them, if I dont have a color to obsess over then I can just hope that everything is going good.

    I took my last one around 8 weeks I think. It was so exciting to see that second line come up I couldn't help myself!!

    I took one almost everyday until my stash of Dollar Tree tests ran out. So, it was about 7 or 8 more times after the first BFP.  Seeing a line (and a darker line each time) was such a great experience that I couldn't help myself!

    I'm a former POAS-aholic (for some reason a still have urges to POAS even though we aren't ttc and haven't had sexy time since before giving birth, weird I know). I tested until I was about 6 weeks. I took 28 tests during my last cycle. I was a mad woman because I was so scared due to my history. GL to you!

    About 19dpo. The cheapie tests make it easy to do so. I was having spotting, though, and this somehow reassured me.
