    Two the first day. Then a couple days later I took 2 again, cause I forgot to take pictures of the first test.

    1st: just one (frer)
    2nd: 2. Or 3. Two frer & one digital.
    3rd: 3 - One frer which was negative, one a week later which was positive, and then one digital with weeks indicator.

    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.

    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!

    3 - a FRER that was super faint and then a second FRER and a digital two days later!

    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.

    2.

    1 was so early I didn't think it was anything.

    2 period still hadn't come so tested again and BAM, LINE.

    An embarrassing amount, probably 8-10?

    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.

    Not sure I could even count. I'd gone through 3 early m/c's so I wanted to see a fast and convincing progression, and I did.

    With my miscarriage, one.
    Lo1 I took 2 (wondfo and frer at the same time).
    Lo2 I took 3 because I didn't trust ANY of them.

    Only 2 - one wondfo and one frer. I also had two betas.
    I kinda wish I'd taken more

    Hmmm maybe 6-7? An FRER, two digital, a dollar store test or two and then a couple little stripe cheapie ones.

    Two!

    FRER at 11dpo
    Off brand something the day after my period was supposed to start.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I took only one pee stick test on BFP day, but I also had blood work to confirm so it was kinda like taking two tests the same day.

    I took a couple more tests before I started showing just for fun.

    While TTC I took more tests obviously... But as few as possible.

    I took 2 FRER and 1 digi....I made myself stop or else I would have taken 200

    One. THEN I kept peeing on the rest of my OPK stash just to see the line get darker. Pregnancy tests are super expensive in the U.K.

    2 wondfros and 3 FRER, 1 digital, 1 blue test that had +/-. Tested over 4 different days (mostly corresponded to the betas I was having done).

    I had to go out and get some more FRERs so I could see the line get darker.

    4 total with DS - I took 3 FRER and 1 digital

    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.

    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.

    First one, a handful because I was in shock, but had a dr appt shortly thereafter so I stopped.

    Second one, once a day so far because I'm nervous and dr appt is sooo far out.

    So many it's embarrassing. 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!

    With all 4 of my miscarriages, I only took 1 each.

    With LO #1, I took a blue dye and a digital to be sure

    With my current pregnancy, I took 2 blue dye b/c one was at night and the second was FMU.
