I took at least 7! I would take them, and then leave them (gross I know) on the bathroom counter for days just to look at them...lol I think I was in denial. I was in fact pregnant though since LO is now 4.5 months old 
I hope I'm not as crazy when the next time rolls around. ETA: you can see how faded they are, since I let them sit so long haha!

@Cherrybee: haha holy crap!! I have 7 in this photo but I think I took at least 2 more. So it's ok

@autumnlove: interesting that you took more for your 2nd one...I always thought it would be the other way around!

At least a dozen. I am not taking anymore now that we saw the heartbeat! I took the most recent one at 40dpo!

I took one and got a faint positive. Waited a few days and took another and then took a digital to be 100% sure. That was enough for me!

I took so many. Probably ten at least. And I took one once a week until 8 weeks or so just to make sure. Still have one kicking around on my nightstand.

I took 6 the morning I got my bfp. 3 different brands. Then I took prob 2-3 a day until my first dr appt. I bought a 100 pack of wondfos and got pregnant on the first cycle so I figured id get my money's worth out of the wondfos lol.

I think I did 2 target brand FRERs, and a digital. I did a wondfo too but it was negative! So weird..
wonderful cherry / 21504 posts
Probably 6 or so? I also left them out for days and would just stare at them every time I went to the bathroom. I still have them too. I took a couple that day and them every day for the next few days.

I took a ton. Seriously it was a problem lol. I was convinced that if they kept getting darker things were going well and after my MCs I really wanted the reassurance. I took at least one every 2 days until 6 weeks (and I got my first positive at 3 weeks 1 day so it was quite a while). I actually think I have a picture...
Haha I do! The really funny part is that the name I have this picture saved as is "crazy" which is very fitting.

Lol! I took a cheapo first - then once I saw a line, then a FRER then a digital to confirm, all in one night! I took a FRER today just for fun...didn't want to just throw it out! They've been siting on my dresser and I've been staring at them in disbelief

I took 3 the day of the BFP then 1 each day after for about a week to make sure I really was pregnant, I know silly but I had a TON of Internet cheapies!

@Running Elley: I need to show that pic to DH so he knows I am not the only crazy POAS addict!!

3 - then I started getting morning sickness and didn't need the confirmation anymore.

Just 1, the next morning. The line was lighter and i was freaked out I was having a cp so I made myself stop.
blogger / pomelo / 5361 posts
I don't know how many it was, but I took a ziplock bag full of them! DH thought it was so weird and kind of gross, but I seriously just had to take one every day and I would keep them all to compare the lines darkening! I finally threw them away about a month ago.

I took one! But that afternoon I had a doctor's appointment (because I had constant dizziness - which was in fact a pregnancy symptom!) and the doctor did a urine test and then sent me for a bloodtest to confirm.

I took a ton! I think I took one everyday for the first couple of weeks. I loved seeing that positive come up. I also let them sit on the counter for a long time. I couldn't bear to throw them away! I was always sad when the digital one would die and the screen would go blank.
clementine / 916 posts
None after I got the positive. Gosh, as soon as I peed on the stick the second line popped up.. Literally 5 seconds after. And I was only 4.5 weeks along!

I took 3 the first day and then one every day until I had the pregnancy confirmed by the doctor, which was also a couple of days after my period was supposed to arrive. So, 9 total. I would leave them on the bathroom counter, too and I hated that the word pregnant would disappear on the digital tests after a while.

@Mrs. Blue: lol!! I just put mine in a ziploc last night. DH is grossed out and wants me to throw them out but I just can't. Until we get our first ultrasound or hear the heartbeat it's the only proof I have that there's a little baby inside me!
GOLD / wonderful pea / 17697 posts
Um, a lot. Like dozens. Several (like every 4 hours) a day for like two weeks, and then at least one a day until I had my first ultrasound at 8 weeks. I was crazy. In my defense, I only actually bought one pack of three after the initial BFP...the rest were leftover Wondfos that came with the OPKs.

@Running Elley: There is some serious $$ invested in those sticks!! lol I promised myself I'd never be one of those crazy ladies who takes pictures of their pee sticks but I totally did and can't stop staring at them on my phone while I'm at work!!
hostess / papaya / 10540 posts
I took one, then later in the day took another and thought that might also be wrong, so I took a digital. I couldn't deny seeing the word pregnant lol.

I took one digital and promptly threw it away. I guess I didn't need convincing, lol.
