when do I stop testing 🙈

Question

I started at 3w5d and I'm 5w tomorrow...I don't have a scan until the 6th...I've been taking these to make myself feel better...but when is it time to cut the cord?

Last pregnancy I tested until all of a sudden the test got mysteriously light/almost BFN over night Bc my HCG had gotten so high the test couldn't read it properly (hook effect). And I have a healthy son now.But that was so stressful and scary...

I just have no symptoms and no reassurances that my pregnancy is going well. The lines look like they are progressing? Maybe it's time?

Answer

Your tests look great. I think you can stop testing now. Definitely don't spend more money on tests. You're going to need things for the baby and maternity clothes! Save your money!!

Answer

I fight the urge to test, I tested 4 times the weekend I found out, and once the weekend after. I find that the early weeks are stressful enough, I cannot add that extra stress of testing!!

Answer

Your tests look great! Good progression! I know how you feel. I'm 5wk2days and still testing daily. I have a few more left though so I'll probably finish them by my first appointment on 3/17. I've been trying to relax but I've had 2 chemicals and a miscarriage so the more reassurance I can get the better! 
I don't know what the hook effect thing is though? What's that?

Answer

I did a few when I first tested positive, and a few more that weekend when I told my husband, and then one a week until my ultrasound. Once I saw that baby at 7 weeks it was easier!

Answer

I am guilty of the same. I found out at 3w2d and and 5 weeks today. Im almost out of tests so im thinking i will stop soon lol.

Answer

I would stop. Seems a bit stressful :-/ best to just relax and let baby grow! 🙂
