    Just the one.  The physical symptoms were enough to assure me that it was still real.

    I took none... I even lied to the Obgyn and told them I did. Haha I really didn't see the point of spending and extra 15 bucks on something I was totally positive about! :)

    Just the one and I believed it.  But I took another about a week later before my first OB appointment.  I don't know.  I think I wanted to make sure it wasn't a fluke and the folks at the doctor's office didn't think I was nuts.

    I took 4 in my first cycle, thought I had a faint positive on one, but I think now it was an evap line.

    The second cycle, when we got out positive, I took 7 tests!! Two the first day (7 am and 10 am) then one 2 days later, one 4 days later, one 2 weeks later and the last 3 weeks later. I didn't have a lot of symptoms, mainly just sore breasts, and I didn't believe I was really pregnant. Then, even though there was nothing to indicate I had miscarried, it was like I needed to keep taking tests to convince myself I was still pregnant. I am done taking tests though.

    omg I must be the most OCD bee on here--I took 6 maybe 7 home pregnancy tests!  I was not officially starting to TTC and I had spotting which I thought was my period, so I may have been in a little bit of denial!  Oh and that number doesn't include the 3 ultrasounds I had over the next month from the OB to make sure I was really truly pregnant!

    Just the one.  I felt like I was pregnant, and we had been TTCing, so I was pretty sure.  Plus feeling terrible therafter -- I knew something was up!

    I took 3.

    1 in the morning. 1 in the afternoon and then 1 the following morning. The first test was a digital one the other two had the lines. I am not a fan of the lined ones because the second line never came out clear enough.

    LOL I took 3 tests and then went and got a blood test to be sure. Even after all the home tests were positive and the actual doctor said "your pregnant", I asked "are you sure" lol. I am still in the middle of university and we werent planning on having children at all - being on birth control it was a big shock - but my little boy turns 2 in september and now the debate is on - do we have another? lol.
