If someone were to ask you "How many times did you test AFTER a BFP (big fat positive result)"" I'd be willing to be one of two things would happen:
1) You'd scrunch up your face, look at them like they were crazy, and say "none" with a obviously tone in your voice.
2) You'd get all excited, thrilled to have found another testing fiend to befriend.

BabyCenter Community user KodakPolaroid recently asked her friends in the September 2017 Birth Club about their testing habits. She was feeling, "Just curious. You know, for science." "Also, I'm jonesin to take another test!!!" she added, "but live in the midwest and we're iced in right now. I want to pee on all the sticks!!!"
Though some members commented one test was enough for them (especially if it was the digital kind), LJA777 is also a frequent tester. With a laugh she admitted to having taken "like 10" since her first positive result.
She then explained: "My first appointment seems so far away and I found out at 11 dpo (days past ovulation) so I just keep checking that my little blueberry is still in there. Lines are just getting darker and darker....
