I took a test a day for about a week and had them all lined up on the bathroom counter. then I said to myself, self, what are you doing? and I threw them away.
LOL yes. I don't know why I did and why I find them sentimental. Its some of the very few tangible items I have from the pregnancies I lost. Maybe that's why I refuse to toss them. That doesn't explain the ones I saved from DD and DS though.
I kept them for a while, just because it had been such a long tough road to get them. They were in a baggie in the bathroom closet, lol. I threw them out shortly after DD was born. I did take pictures of them too.
Um, no. I took pictures of them, and I think left them on the counter for a day or two and then threw them out.
For those that saved them, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, please throw them away if someday you ever give your daughter-in-law a box of your son's baby stuff. No one should have to dispose of someone else's 28 year old pregnancy test.
I'm not sure actually. I did for awhile but I think I ended up throwing them away. They might be in a bag with all my IVF paperwork. I did take a picture and still have that on my computer. I took 3 before my beta.

Not intentionally. I found a whole bunch from DD2 that I took in the middle of the night and we were in the middle of a bathroom renovation, so I shoved them in a closet and forgot about them (idk why I did that). Poor DH almost had a heart attack when he saw the stack of positive tests in the garbage over a year later.

I still have a few comparison pictures on my phone from my last pregnancy. I compulsively tested to see the line get darker. It was already pretty dark by the time I took the test with this pregnancy. I snapped one picture for posterity, ha.
BFP #1 pre-dated handy smartphone cameras. Not sure if I have a pic saved somewhere. Probably.
I kept them in the bathroom for a few days until it sunk in and then threw them out. I still have pictures of my first BFP and the digital on my phone.
I did not keep any "spare" unused HPTs. During TTC I got to a point where I was tired of seeing BFNs so I didn't keep any tests in the house. Having to go out and buy them was a pretty big factor in keeping myself from testing too early.
