Those of you who got a BFP, how many test did you take to confirm that you were pregnant?

I took one to get my BFP and one more the next morning to confirm it. It was all we had so I didn't want to buy more and I trusted the nurse on the phone who told me a positive is a positive.

I tested with FMU every day starting at 7dpo with cheapie wondfo's and the line started appearing on day 8 and got darker each day. On day 11 I finally used a FRER and it was a clear positive so I stopped testing. I went to my doctor the next day and got a blood test to confirm.

i took a test 8 dpo and was negative, took one 9 dpo evening and it was positive - then took another the next morning, it was positive. I sent DH out for digital, and took that. so 4- but I also took several wondfos and they were all negative? so confusing.
let's not talk about how many I took the first 2 cycles too - an embarrassing amount. who starts peeing 2 dpo? yep.
OH - took another test at 9 weeks just to double check before I told family. proving my point further that i'm nuts..

Between 9DPO - 17DPO, I took at least 10. And not the cheapos, took FRER. I decided it was worth the peace of mind to spend our HSA money that way!

This thread cracks me up. When I get pregnant, I'll probably take like 6 to make sure.
Let's hope there aren't any HPT companies reading this. They are probably smiling right now.

I took 4 on the day I first got my BFP then one every day after that for like 2 weeks.

A lot...I don't actually know how many...at least once a day for almost a month (until I had my first ultrasound). In my defense I had a stockpile of Wandfos that came with my order of OPKs. I only took 2 FRER (the two in the pack) and one of the wonderful ones that said "Pregnant" just because I wanted to see the word

Maybe 7? I took 2 Wondfo on 12dpo that were SO light I wasn't sure if I could believe them or not (I think I probably posted about it on here). The next day I did the FRER, then a Wondof, then a dollar store one. Kept them lined up on the counter for an embarrassing amount of time. I think I did a couple more of the cheapies after that to make sure, but did not use the other FRER-- those suckers are too expensive. I wouldn't even test on one until I had the faint questionable line on the wondfo.
DH thought I was nuts.

I had a blood test to confirm pregnancy first, but afterward I did 2 for pictures (and for it to feel real) and about 7 wondfos in the days following to make sure I was still pregnant. So a total of 9. I do plan on peeing on another one once we're further along for some sort of announcement though.

I took one test the day I found out and then another one a few weeks later. I think I was just nervous because I was waiting for my appointment. Taking the second test was kind of random.
