When to stop testing everyday
Show your support
How far are you now? With my first I stopped once I got my dye stealer at 5+2 AND I had had bloodwork done. Currently 10dpo and waiting to test. Testing everyday is how I knew I had MC this summer.. so I get it and the worry. My lines were never as dark as yours though. I’d be worried about the hook effect if you continue to test to 8 weeks. Have you asked your dr for bloodwork? Or you can do it yourself for peace of mind— that’s what I’ll be doing once I get a positive ✨
@Nicole I’ll be 5wks tomorrow. What’s the hook effect?
Hook effect is when your body is producing to much hcg for the test and gives a lighter line then you may have had previously ! I have just been through this with a MMC in March I’m now 12 weeks pregnant and was also obsessed with testing. However I stopped once I started getting bloods done as it’s much more reliable. My doctor got me to do bloods every 48 hours basically until my first ultrasound at 6 weeks so I had regular reassurance !
Looking at your tests, I think you can stop.😊 You have a lovely line progressing there. Maybe use the rest of the strips and then stop. Congratulations!
I stopped when I got a 3+ on a digital. If it brings you some peace,I say do it. I’m 27+4 now and still check the toilet paper after every wipe! I generally feel confident in my pregnancy at this point but it’s such a hard habit to break. Do what feels best for you
