I've easily taken 18 this time. Probably 10 wandfo tests, 6 frer, 2 clear blue. And when I ran out I used ovulation tests to see how dark they were. Clearly, I have a problem! How many tests did you take in your most recent pregnancy?
-
Haha you sound like me
I think I had 6 wondfos left and 5ish FRER and then 2 clear blue digitals (the first one was negative at 9/10 dpo).
Anddd that's basically how the rest of my pregnancies went too (3 previous ones) -
3 or 4. The first two were expired and I just didn't believe they were right. So I went a bought a new two pack but can't remember if I took both or still have one. It was very dark by the time I tested so no abiguity.
-
Probably 9-10.
-
One. It was unplanned, shocking, and frankly terrifying at 7 months pp. I didn't want to take more. (Now I look at DS2 and think, How could I ever have been afraid of you!!)
-
One. I waited until I was two days late to test and I was pretty sure I was pregnant.
-
I think maybe 5 or 6 this time. It was less than usual because I started testing later since it was unplanned (but I just had a feeling). I got positives for 3 or 4 straight days before I really believed it and stopped testing. In the past I've definitely started earlier and used more though.
-
A lot.
-
I think with all 3 of my pregnancies I only took one each time. I waited until I was a few days late each time and was fairly certain I was pregnant.
-
@Canoli: @JenGirl: such will power!
-
I wanted TTC to be fun and not stressful, so I went into TTC assuming it was going to take a while and not in any rush. So not doing a lot of testing and just waiting to see what happened helped keep things relaxed.
-
Exactly 1. I should add I had an apt with the RE the next day to start infertility treatments. So, I knew she would probably do a blood test anyways, and nothing was going to change between 5pm when I took the test, and 9am the next morning!
-
One.
-
@JenGirl: I would love to be carefree about it but I've had so many losses, it is impossible to be easy breezy about it!
-
I think I'm to embarrassed to say
-
@knittylady: that was exactly my reaction. Just the one positive one at five months pp. I was so terrified I didn't need more proof.
-
@winniebee: I'm so sorry about your losses. We were very lucky that we didn't have any issues. Even though we started out trying to keep it relaxed, I know that would have been much harder or impossible had we had to deal with losses.
-
2, needed to make sure that the expired one was accurate. My period was also due that day, so I wasn't really surprised with the positive.
-
2 - one at 9 DPO which was negative and then one at 13 DPO which was positive. With twins you might have expected a blazing positive but it didn't look different to the tests with LO1 & LO2. So he surprise was real on that first ultrasound.
-
@winniebee: you're not alone! I took at least 15 this time.
-
One. Once I see the positive, I'm done. I also don't test until my period is due or late.
-
2. The first one said I was pregnant, but I used another one to make sure there wasn't something wrong with the first one. It was unplanned, so I was in shock!
-
3, I think. A wondfo, a rapid response to confirm, and a wondfo the next day because I still didn't believe it! These O-5 babies really sneak up on you
-
Way too many, probably at least 10, you're not alone!
-
With ds I took quite a few. Took digital week predictor ones for a couple weeks too. I did all that with my second pregnancy and it ended in mc and everything appeared the same as my first.
With my second I took a cheapie and an FRER two days or so before my period was due and then the day it was due. I think that's all I took. So 4!
-
Just 1~
-
Approximately 7000.
-
2
-
@winniebee: Can you believe not even one?! With IVF, I had plenty of betas but I was too freaked out in the early days that I would see something on the hpt that would scare me even more. Then by the time I felt confident in the pregnancy, I forgot I had tests to even use. So none!
-
Only one with my first, two with my second.
-
Only one, both times. Although the first my mil, who is a med tech, ran a blood test to confirm.
-
@winniebee: wait, wait, youre pregnant again?!!!!! I missed this great news! Yayyyyyy!!!!
-
With this pregnancy (#3), I took two tests alone, two with DH, and one more just to make sure they other 4 were correct. The test line was blazing pink!
-
Two. The service one only because I realized the first test was expired.
-
@pachamama: I am! Not quite 6 weeks along. Very nervous about everything!
-
I would say on average per pregnancy I take 3! If I test early its usually only a day before my supposed period, and other than that I wait until after, otherwise, I'll just keep wasting money on tests because I don't keep cheapies on hand!
-
1st pregnancy 1 test
2nd one- 2. (1st one was faulty
