Hook Effect
So I’ve been freaking out because it looked like my tests were getting lighter (three miscarriages back to back, so I’m scared as hell).
I’m six weeks tomorrow, noticing every twinge and tweak, every symptom or lack of symptom, and thought for sure it was going to happen again.
But... I had heard of the hook effect before, did a bit of googling and thought I’d test the theory.
It worked!!
The top strip is undiluted late night pee, and the bottom is the same pee just heavily diluted - and the test is darker! Phew!
