Can't stop testing!

I'm 5+5 with number 1 after 18 months of trying and 1 early miscarriage. But I can't seem to stop poas. I was telling myself I just wanted to see the digital progress to 3+ (I know it's not necessarily a sign of a healthy pregnancy). I found that reassuring for about 5 minutes.
Anyone else find themselves like this? I've ran out of tests now so that should stop me at least

My last test was Thursday 21st which was a 2-3 weeks Clearblue. I had been toying with the idea of getting another one test but I just feel like it will cause me more worry than it will reassure. If it still says 2-3 not 3+ I'll worry.
I think not having any more left is maybe a sign that now is the time to stop. You've had your 3+ so in theory everything should be progressing the way it needs to. Enjoy, relax and countdown to your first appointments/scans :)

You've hit HPT gold when the test line sucks all the dye from the control line. It's normal to be anxious in early pregnancy so completely understandable that you're testing to reduce that worry. It's only temporarily reassuring though and could end up expensive when your habit involves clearblue digis and FRERs... Get a box of internet cheapies and don't worry about your habit. I doubt you'll still be pissing on sticks in the delivery suite. So carry on if you're enjoying it. If it makes you more anxious, try to stop.
