How many tests did you take after BFP?

[captainshortie]

So yeah, how many tests did you take after you got your bfp "just to check" or because you didnt believe it or just because?

Ive taken 3 and the fear of getting a negative is stopping me doing another one (plus think DH would class me as bonkers)
I dont really want to take anymore if im only going to waste my money and would rather enjoy my first cpl of weeks (well im 10+4 now i think)

@captainshortie the hormone that the strip reacts to starts to lessen after a certain time.

I did 2 on the first day because they were cheap strip ones off amazon and I'd tested late in the day so didn't trust them 100%. Then did 2 clear blue ones the next day. Must have done 1 a day for about three weeks after that!

I had anticipated conceiving might take ages and so bulk bought loads of cheap tests. I thought I may as well use them seeing as they were there and I loved seeing the line getting darker every few days! Made it seem real because it felt totally unreal when I first found out. My beautiful little DD is 7 weeks old today and snoozing next to me in bed!

First one I did was an IC, and only did it ‘just in case’ because it was Xmas eve and I wanted to be sure I was ok to have a drink before I went out. But it was positive which was a shock because I hadn’t had a period since coming off the pill.

I had a clear blue in the drawer so DH and I decided to do that one with FMU on Xmas day to check because at this point it was all so new to me and it was a v strong positive.

So we picked up a digital on Boxing Day to see how pregnant I was because like I say I had no period to date from.

7 so far! 4 on day 1 of finding out!

Congrats OP!

BFP this morning for me & I've taken 3 so far 😳 just keep staring at them in disbelief!

@HoldOnToHope eee congrats!!! Got my first app at midwifes this afternoon, so excited/nervous xx

I brought about 10 boxes. Not kidding and had a oack of 50 IC in cuoboard. I used all the boxes up. Oops. We just couldnt believe it been ttc for 4 years so we thought we were seeing things haha

@captainshortie I think I will be the same! Hope everything went well ☺️ xx
