I'm cheap, plus I had symptoms like crazy so I just went with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take/page/2#post-1618050 Wed, 07 May 2014 05:39:44 +0000 artsyfartsy 1618050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1 for my BFP.

I got my first positive at only 8dpo so I kept taking them every day or every other day until I tab or if tests just to "make sure I was still pregnant" hehe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take/page/2#post-1617882 Tue, 06 May 2014 22:05:08 +0000 Anya 1617882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm definitely in the "all the tests!" camp. Three frer, one digital and let's just say a heaping handful of wondfos. I've stopped testing but I do have one of the weeks estimator tests that I'm saving for a rainy day :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take/page/2#post-1617583 Tue, 06 May 2014 19:54:58 +0000 Mamasig 1617583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 tests with each pregnancy - that's how many came in a pack. It never occurred to me to keep testing. To me, no period meant I was still pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take/page/2#post-1617454 Tue, 06 May 2014 19:17:16 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1617454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With #1 I just took one. I just knew that we were in a good space and was symptomatic enough to not need to test again.</p> <p>With #2 I never tested once ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take/page/2#post-1617446 Tue, 06 May 2014 19:16:19 +0000 mrsrain 1617446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first pregnancy ended in an early miscarriage. I watched the lines slowly fade away and then I started bleeding. This time I had just received a brand new 50-pack of Wondfos when I got my BFP. So I just kept testing! It settled my mind to watch the lines get darker instead of lighter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take/page/2#post-1617397 Tue, 06 May 2014 18:54:35 +0000 pinkcupcake 1617397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With LO 1: at least six. One on a weds (neg), one on Saturday (pos), pos digi on Sunday, then at least three or four more throughout the week to see if the line was getting darker bc I was having unexplained bleeding </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take/page/2#post-1617297 Tue, 06 May 2014 17:43:20 +0000 Running Elley 1617297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I always feel like the crazy person on these polls. Oh well lol.</p> <p>I had 2 MCs before a sticky pregnancy. With my first sticky pregnancy I first tested at 8DPO (insane!!!) and got a positive. From 8DPO until we heard the heartbeat at 6w2d I took AT LEAST one test a day. For the first week or two it was one in the morning and one at night. I'd alternate between wondfos and FRERs. Craziness. Absolute insanity.</p> <p>With LO #2 I bought a pack of 2 tests to "just check" since I hadn't had another period after my first post-partum AF. I did not think they'd be positive. They were and I took them both the same day. Then I bought 2 more packs of 2 FRERs and took them all. So 6 total? And I felt like that was me being "calmed down." Hahaha wow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take/page/2#post-1617286 Tue, 06 May 2014 17:32:55 +0000 pmrlady 1617286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used up 5 tests. The first one at 9dpo was a BFN. The second one at 10dpo was a faint line on a FRER. I took two more at 12 and 14dpo until the line was as dark as the control line. I just wanted to make sure the line was getting darker and that it wasn't going to be a CP. Then I took the digital test with weeks estimator at 5 weeks to make sure it said 3+ weeks after ovulation. It doesn't measure any higher than that otherwise I would be taking another one hehe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take/page/2#post-1617224 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:40:15 +0000 LovelyPlum 1617224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: all good things :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take/page/2#post-1617220 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:38:22 +0000 dolphin 1617220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take/page/2#post-1617213 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:36:50 +0000 LovelyPlum 1617213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit: @mfa_lady: feeling different is GOOD! FWIW, I didn't put much stock into the tests during my sticky pregnancy, either. I went in for a test in the office before I even got up the courage to POAS. And I really don't think anyone could have convinced me during my entire pregnancy to take a digital, even on the day before I delivered. I just stopped trusting them and instead went with my gut. Excited for you ladies! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take/page/2#post-1617197 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:30:47 +0000 coopsmama 1617197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With baby #1 my FRERs came in a 3 pack so I took all 3, then a digital, then 3 dollar store tests.</p> <p>With baby #2, I took two FRERs and 3 dollar store tests.</p> <p>Oy. I maybe have a bit of a testing addiction... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take/page/2#post-1617170 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:20:46 +0000 lilteacherbee 1617170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More than 6 ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take#post-1617134 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:05:46 +0000 Rocker2014 1617134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None! </p> <p>I went to the doctor for something else entirely a day or two after my period was due. It had been unpredictable for the past few months, so I never even thought about it. They wanted to put me on a med, and asked if there was any chance I was pregnant -- I had to stop and think about it so they decided to do a blood test. I found out from a phone call a few hours later! *cue freakout! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take#post-1617119 Tue, 06 May 2014 15:56:18 +0000 Boheme 1617119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummm.... like 8? But I had Wondfos to burn :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take#post-1617115 Tue, 06 May 2014 15:54:37 +0000 bhbee 1617115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>about 6, but not on the same day . . . I have a history of chemical pregnancies so I'm always looking for that line darkening. with LO (my only success so far) I stopped once the test line was darker than the control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take#post-1617112 Tue, 06 May 2014 15:53:23 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 1617112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uhm, I voted 6+. But way more "plus" than six:-). I'd just bought a new pack of wondfos, and my lack of symptoms had me CONVINCED something was wrong until my first appointment at 7.5 weeks. So yeah....I peed on ALL the sticks. I'm hoping for my second pregnancy to be more relaxed about the process, but I also am realistic about my POAS-aholic status. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take#post-1617080 Tue, 06 May 2014 15:43:11 +0000 heffalump 1617080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2.
