Do you keep taking tests?

[DJ79]

I had a cheapie BFP, then confirmed with a CBDigi. I've not checked since and it's not 'normal' for doctors or MW to verify tests here. Does anyone else keep checking? I'm starting to think it's not real now!!!

I think I took 15 tests before I stopped 😄

I did from 15dpo through to 19dpo. When I got my 2-3 on digi I stopped. It was making me too crazy! Testing doesn't make you less likely to miscarry, so I just accepted that and hoped for the best!

I have a bag in my bathroom cupboard with probably...if I had to guess without counting...at least 20 positive tests. The last ones I took were an FRER and a cbwe the morning of my dating ultrasound at 6+6. Nice line on the FRER and the cbwe was a nice quick 3+, and we did get to see baby's heartbeat so I'm a little less rabid about peeing on stuff now

 

[DJ79]

I had a 3+ straight away and as they don't go any higher I won't see any progress as such so I've just thought it would stress me doing them. Must be patient!!!!!!

I am averaging two tests a day at least.

 

[anabellaw]

At least every morning here! I've run out of cheapie so started peeing on the cheapie opks!

Nope. I had a pack of two, used one, then used up the other 3 days later and that was it.

I don't see the sense of driving myself nuts taking repeated tests.

I took at least 6 FRERs this pregnancy. Even some OPKs because why not lol

I just loved seeing the progression on the FRERs. I got lines that were never that dark with my first pregnancy so it was reassuring

I took 7 tests in 6 days after my first bfp. Then 2 more digital ones I had leftover when my symptoms disappeared. And a blood test last Monday that I requested. All lab work minus prenatal tests ($20) are covered under my health insurance so the only thing that stops me is that I have to justify each time to my doctor haha. After my blood test, I stopped testing but really just because I ran out of tests. I won't be satisfied until I have an US.

I had a pack of two and used them at 14 and 15 DPO. Aside from the test at my doctors office, I haven't tested again. If I had more tests at home though, I would have used them for sure! I just couldn't justifying buying more

I took one test when my period didn't show up on time.

My first appointment was scheduled a full month away.

I thought about taking more but there was really no logical reason to do so.

 

[Tish5478]

There is no logic in my head at the minute. I have done 8 tests I think! Last time I did just the 2 on one day but then I was lucky and had a scan 3 days later. This time I have a scan on the 23rd so will probably carry on every couple of days till then! Unless major symptoms kick in!!!

 

[babifever]

Lol, no. I believe

 

[pansorie]

Yeah, I was insane. I used all 10 of my Wondflo test strips in less than a week. Then started buying them. I did at least 20-25 tests, maybe more. My hubby finally, very politely, asked me to stop wasting money on tests, lol.
