How many tests have you taken?

rachoochoo2 · November 2013

And when did you/will you stop testing? I think I have taken about 8 (all cheapie ones except for one FRER). Tomorrow morning I am taking my last FRER and then I am done.

So far about 15... I pee on sticks daily.

marathonmommy11 · November 2013

2 before BFP, 5 since. Just picked up 4 more cheapies at the store today....

I only took one because that's all I had around and then got my blood test... but I can so relate. In my previous pregnancies I have probably taken about 50-60 tests total between my other 4 pregnancies. That's really not that many compared to some women I've met!

This time around it was a surprise so I wasn't testing every day super early like last time. I remember starting to test at like CD 6 and then every day or every couple days after that for 2-3 weeks. lol

With my last baby I had a 100 pack of the Wondfo tests and I seriously blew through most of them. I had a really super low starting beta and it barely doubled in 48 hours and then they made me wait a whole week to draw again so I was practically POAS every time I went to the bathroom because I was so stressed.

4 the day I got my BFP, 2 the next day, and one a day for the next week. I got tired of peeing in a cup every morning and once my symptoms kicked in I figured it was time to stop:) I loved seeing the progression of darker lines on my dollar store tests !

megth · November 2013

I took 3 this time, and all it did was stress me out because the line wasn't as dark as the control line. So of course I started reading into it.

My first + the line appeared quickly and was super dark. Not this time. I also have pretty much no symptoms, unlike my last pregnancy. Anyway I don't have any more tests and I don't think it will help so I'm just hanging in there.

ksuRN09 · November 2013

I took 3 the day I got my BFP and 1 the other day when I was stressing myself out big time. The line was much darker than the original tests I took and it calmed me down.

hgtvmom · November 2013

I took 4 - two that had super light lines that I thought might be my brain playing tricks on me, then one digital (so there was no line reading). I had one cheap test left that expires before this kiddo shows up, so I figured why not?

knbowlin84 · November 2013

I've taken 5. I'd probably take more but I'm out. haha

honeybee434 · November 2013

I must be the minority because I only took one. This wasn't a planned pregnancy and with the symptoms I had and being a week late I pretty much knew what it was going to say. I didn't have to wait 10 seconds before the plus showed up. Symptoms have just become worse so I didn't think to take any more until reading all of these posts.

eisbek07 · November 2013

4. My initial BFP was 8dpo and I had to keep confirming because I didn't believe I could get a true positive so soon.

paxilchyk · November 2013

4 total. 1 two weeks ago at my annual because I was late-came back negative. Then I picked up some dollar store tests last week because my period hadn't shown up and got a positive on the first. I peed on the other two since I was sure it was a false positive. Nope. Definitely pregnant.

nrcross · November 2013

2 Total. But I had to have my betas drawn three times this week.

pmreed79 · November 2013

I'm at around 7. 2 when I got my BFP and then a cheapie every few days since then. My first appointment is next Friday, so if all goes well I'll probably stop peeing on things then.

dmercer22 · November 2013

I only took the two when I found out & one in the Dr office. We don't have the $$ for me to try more. I trust that I'm pregnant, my body is letting me know enough!

ddubzz · November 2013

I just got my BFP yesterday. First took a Wondfo, then a FRER, then another Wondfo at night. I also just took a Wondfo tonight. I have a bunch of Wondfos left (and 1 FRER too), so I'll probably just use them up in the coming weeks. Not planning on getting pregnant again before they expire, so why not? :P

biglewzer · November 2013

Does your medicine cabinet look like this?

Soon2BMrsN · November 2013

Two. One last Sunday and one the following day to confirm.

sarahlynnc317 · November 2013

One. The one I got my positive on. I had blood draws 2 times since then though.

alyss0nl · November 2013

I only took two- The first to confirm and the second the following morning.

jwilder728 · November 2013

This thread inspired me to take the last one I had this morning. No symptoms, but a nice dark line

But now I'm out of tests, so no more for me. I think it was 5 total.

uagirl · November 2013

More than I care to admit. I keep POAS to make sure the line is getting darker. It never got darker with my chemical pregnancy.

mercy0606 · November 2013

I only took one. Haven't had any symptoms besides extra peeing and big boobs! Doctor Friday :-)

slensic · November 2013

5 Internet cheapies, 5 FRERs and 2 digitals $:\$ ">

Mcdanielbaby1 · November 2013

4 and I want to take more but what's the point!? I'm PREGNANT!!!!

:):)

jennakg · November 2013

4. I'd keep going but I'm out of tests and can't really justify buying more at this point!

January Bride · November 2013

4 so far. My first was negative (too early), and I've taken three positives.

A lot, I buy the big cheap pack from amazon so I can pee without guilt.

Once a day since about 7 DPO lol. I will probably stop soon since with my symptoms it seems this baby is sticking.

This is pretty much going to be me until after my first appt...which isn't until 12/9...
I have a whole bunch of cheapies from Amazon, but I think they might be duds so maybe just every few days? I don't know. Suffice to say, a lot!

MrsCrouch90 · November 2013

2. One FRER and one digital. Had a blood test today, no point in taking more. I'm pregnant.

rachoochoo2 · November 2013

I really wanted to try those new digital tests that say how many weeks you are but at this point it would be silly to spend the money on it.

Julymama714 · November 2013

I have 6 positive tests but am pretty sure I'll continue taking the cheap tests until my first appt at 8 wks. I can't help it!

flmomof4 · November 2013

More than I can count. I started testing at 7 DPO, got my BFP the evening of 9 DPO and continued testing until I ran out of Wondfos. I think I had 10 Wondfos, 2 FRER, and I've used a few OPKs as HPTs too. I know I'm nuts

PregsMcSnoozalot · November 2013

8

all from the dollar store. got a faint line 7 days past a day 5 frozen embryo transfer and tested every day for a while to watch the line get darker (even though i was going to get betas and new the numbers were going up--it's nice to have a visual!). then today i decided to tell my best friend that i'm expecting so i tested this morning to make sure the line was still dark. it popped up darker than the control line, so i went ahead and spilled the beans!
