So long as you've not tested early and you are at your official test day with a negative you can stop. If not then the clinics do tell you keep going until test day even if you have AF.xx

As others have said if it’s your official OTD then you can stop, however if you’ve tested early you need to continue the pessaries until OTD. I tested early as I was bleeding and got a BFN. I stopped my pessaries, tested again on OTD and got a BFP. I was so gutted that I stopped taking the pessaries in between my doctor said I should’ve never stopped taking them.
