So I was watching "19 Kids and Counting" last week and it had a little informational thing that popped up at one point that said how Michelle (the mom) has taken over 40 pregnancy tests.
I was like "Wow...I have taken that many in a span of two months" 
I am sure there's someone who has taken that many in a month or a couple weeks haha.

eah, there are times that I have taken that many in one cycle! I can't believe that is all she has taken. I wouldn't even want to begin to guess at the number I have taken over the past 5 years.

I only took one test with my son and one test with my last pregnancy. I have purchased four boxes of tests (FRER 2-3 pack) in my lifetime and two are still in my bathroom.

I have taken so many tests and spent so much money on pregnancy tests that I could own a really nice coach bag.

Megan - I hear ya, I was spending at least $75 a month on FRER's at one point. Then I switched to IC's. Really crazy but I could be a crack addict and spend my money that way so its all good!

I don't like wasting money and I am to lazy to go out and get more, so I wait. After a positive test, I don't bother taking any more, I just go to the doctor to get a blood test. It just doesn't occur to me to take multiple tests.

I think you are right Lindsey. I loved reading your post last month.
I can't believe she has only taken 40 test. The amount of money I could save if I would stop buying test. I know I have passed taking 40 over the last 6 months.

I think the difference is that a majority of her tests are positive. But yeah, I've probably got her beat too, and I'm not nearly as bad as some of you ladies!
