Default How many times to re-torque a head?

First start on the new engine went well yesterday. Went out today for the re-torque of the head nuts. Predictably, they were loose averaging around 40 ft. pounds each. I ran it to operating temp again and anticipate another round of tightening tommorow. My question is, about how many more times will I have to repeat this?
