I’m 5weeks 2 days according to LMP however, i actually think i ovulated a little later so i could possibly be even less. I got my first positive 9/26 and have had strong progression ever since. I know i shouldn’t be testing daily now, but i can’t help myself but to make sure that everything is still looking good. My test from this morning was slightly less than yesterdays and so i decided to do an experiment. I’ve been getting dye stealers for the last 2 or 3 days now so i was wondering if the hook effect was starting to kick in, although it seems VERY early, i AM using early tests which have a lower sensitivity. so i did two tests of different brands with undiluted urine, and two tests with one diluted 50% and the other between 150-200% dilution. my undiluted and 50% look almost identical and the very diluted one is still coming up very strong. Could i really be experiencing the hook effect this early??? is that a BAD sign??? somebody please just tell me that this is the start of the hook effect and i should just STOP testing now before i give myself more anxiety than i already have! 😂😂
