I got my BFP on Monday but I've tested every day since just cuz I like to see the line get darker, lol. I had bought a bulk pack of cheapie tests of Amazon in anticipation of it taking longer to get pregnant, lol, so it isn't like I'm spending money on them, I just like the reassurance while I waited force my first appointment.
Am I the only crazy one!?

Haha! First, congrats! And second, no, you aren't crazy. I continued testing for a solid week after, just because I couldn't believe it! DH thought I was bananas... but I loved seeing it get darker!

For nearly a month until my first U/S...I'm a little bit shamed by how many sticks I actually peed on...

I took about five tests, three different brands until the doctor confirmed it. I also dug the first one out of the trash about ten hours later so I could make sure I wasn't imagining things lol.

I peed on a lot of leftover OPKs just to see the smiley face!
It was part of my morning shower routine until they were gone ha ha ha

Yes, for over a week. I may even have an FRER (the darkest one) still sitting in my bathroom at 14 weeks pregnant...

Haha, I did 7. And I left them all lined up on the bathroom counter in order from oldest to newest for way longer than appropriate!
@Navy_Mommy: congratulations!!

I did with LO #1 and apparently when the HCG hormone gets really strong the lines start to get lighter and lighter. Scared the crap out of me! It is so hard not to POAS though!

I did. I had all these extra tests sitting around, so I used them for probably a good two weeks afterward. I found out really early and my first appointment wasn't until 10 weeks, so I was really worried for six weeks.

@evansjamie: yeah, i found out at 4 weeks, so I might lie when I make my appointment with the OB and say my LMP was longer ago then it actually was. Then correct myself when I actually go in, hahahahha

I peed my way through my stash of tests! 
I wish I still had a few wonfos around ... I'm 8 weeks, but really loved taking the tests.

I did this for a while too. But then, I'd had a CP a few months before that I saw disappear on the tests (as well as having it confirmed wiht blood work . It made me feel comforted to continue seeing the positives for a few days. After that I started doing beta blood work and gave up on the test. But then DH got me a doppler and I would check that every few days, lol.

I continued to test everyday for like a week after and then 1-2 times a week up until 6 weeks because I liked seeing the lines get darker and I had extras so I figured why not. But then my lines started getting lighter at 6 weeks and I freaked out, Started googling and found that tests can get lighter when HCG gets too high and that if you actually dilute your pee they get dark again. Well I tried that and it worked and my test was darker than ever but after that I figured it was time to stop, too much stress for really no helpful information.
