did the hook effect NOT work for you ?

Hi everyone ! I’m 6w3d & I’m still texting like a maniac, I know I know I shouldn’t be anymore but having previous losses it’s hard not to for me. I had an ultrasound at 6w exactly & baby had a 120 bpm heart rate. I should’ve stopped testing since seeing the baby a couple of days ago but my mind consumes me. I noticed 2 days ago my test looked lighter, it freaked me out so I’ve been testing even more. I’ve heard about the hook effect & I diluted my urine & my tests were slightly darker than my non-diluted tests, but not a huge difference. Today I tested again & now my non diluted came back a bit darker than the diluted test. Did anyone not have the hook effect work for them, but went on to have a normal pregnancy ? I’m almost out of tests so once they’re gone I won’t be buying more, I don’t have any cramping or bleeding so that’s giving me some hope but I know it’s possible to have a loss w/o any signs. Would love to hear if the “hook effect” didn’t work for someone, but most of the stories I see, the diluted tests come back wayyy darker than non diluted. Just need some hope. Thanks everyone !
