I'd just bought a new batch of Wondfos and knew they'd go to waste, and it helped me pass the time between the first positive and that long awaited first ultrasound knowing that things were progressing. Silly, really! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take-1/page/2#post-2062892 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 15:30:33 +0000 Alivoo01 2062892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First one, a handful because I was in shock, but had a dr appt shortly thereafter so I stopped.</p> <p>Second one, once a day so far because I'm nervous and dr appt is sooo far out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take-1/page/2#post-2062881 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 15:25:57 +0000 Mrs. Shuja 2062881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2. The first one I took was negative. I took another one almost a month later when my period still hadn't come which was positive. Probably should of taken a few more after that. My whole cycle was out of whack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take-1/page/2#post-2062845 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 15:12:38 +0000 NurseDMB 2062845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 total with DS - I took 3 FRER and 1 digital</p> <p>With this pregnancy, I just took 3 FRER and I have decided to relax because they're darkening nicely (unlike with my previous MC), and I'm getting betas done this week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take-1/page/2#post-2061555 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 18:24:46 +0000 BSB 2061555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 wondfros and 3 FRER, 1 digital, 1 blue test that had +/-.

But as few as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take-1/page/2#post-2058167 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 19:39:55 +0000 snowjewelz 2058167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thinking back I took so little! Cuz I didn't have that many. Two with lines the. 1 digital. I guess after the digital I just went to the dr. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take-1/page/2#post-2058137 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 19:11:56 +0000 buttermilk 2058137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 the first day, then I took one once a week for 2-3 Wks to see if it was getting darker. One time it looked the teensiest bit less dark so I freaked and stopped testing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take-1/page/2#post-2058097 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 18:33:42 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2058097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first, 2. With my second pregnancy (CP) I didn't do any because my BFP was a beta at my OB office. With my third pregnancy I did like 10 because I wasn't in town to get betas drawn and I wanted the confirmation that I was, in fact, still pregnant. Once I got betas I stopped peeing on sticks haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take-1/page/2#post-2058075 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 18:18:54 +0000 MsHangry 2058075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two!</p> <p>FRER at 11dpo<br /> Off brand something the day after my period was supposed to start. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take-1/page/2#post-2058015 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 17:19:39 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2058015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm maybe 6-7? An FRER, two digital, a dollar store test or two and then a couple little stripe cheapie ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take-1/page/2#post-2058007 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 17:06:06 +0000 CakeLady 2058007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only 2 - one wondfo and one frer.

I'd gone through 3 early m/c's so I wanted to see a fast and convincing progression, and I did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take-1/page/2#post-2057959 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 16:25:30 +0000 cranberry 2057959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With LO 1, I think about 3. With my current pregnancy, I've only taken 2 so far and they were both on the same day. I wouldn't mind taking another one, but I don't have any more at the house and I haven't been able to justify to myself going out and buying more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take-1/page/2#post-2057939 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 16:09:17 +0000 MrsBrewer 2057939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>An embarrassing amount, probably 8-10? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take-1/page/2#post-2057938 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 16:07:36 +0000 .twist. 2057938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2. </p> <p>1 was so early I didn't think it was anything. </p> <p>2 period still hadn't come so tested again and BAM, LINE. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take-1/page/2#post-2057933 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 16:04:03 +0000 PawPrints 2057933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3- one wondfo, two FRERs. I probably would have done more wondfos since I had a whole pack but they turned out to be duds (the dye didn't go anywhere, not even a control line) so I stopped there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take-1/page/2#post-2057099 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 09:02:14 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2057099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 - a FRER that was super faint and then a second FRER and a digital two days later! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take-1/page/2#post-2057077 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 08:42:19 +0000 Anagram 2057077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just 2 the first time, and then 3 the second time because after I took the initial test, I went and bought the tests that show how many weeks, because I was so confused as to how it happened, since we hadn't done it near my O time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take-1/page/2#post-2057062 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 08:35:54 +0000 edelweiss 2057062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>with my first, i didn't take any because i found out through a blood test at the hospital. with my second, i took about 7. after i got a positive though, i didn't test again. i knew i would stress myself out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take-1/page/2#post-2057058 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 08:33:47 +0000 sera_87 2057058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1st: just one (frer)<br /> 2nd: 2. Or 3.

I had some that I had bought while visiting the US, but tests in Europe were seriously expensive, so I only bought one digital there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take-1#post-2057044 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 08:25:35 +0000 jape14 2057044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A seriously embarrassing number. I started spotting the day after my BFP, so I basically took a test (weeks estimator, so really expensive! I am stupid but I was paranoid and wanted to see those weeks go up) every day until my first ultrasound. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pregnancy-tests-did-you-take-1#post-2057009 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 07:57:53 +0000 Ajsmommy 2057009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never knew this was a thing. I did one cheapie got the positive and then the next morning did 2 (another cheapie and a frer) and that was it. So 3 total. I've never heard of poas to see the line darken.... </p>
