Since I started spotting at about 4 1/2 weeks I've been testing every couple of days. On Saturday I noticed that my tests were looking fainter (control now darker than test line. I panicked after Friday's scan because I didn't see a fetal pole but then I remembered about the hook effect!
So I went out today to home bargains and bought a few more tests. I've previously read on Google that if you dilute your urine with water you should get strong lines again. So I experimented with it.
It's safe to say that the hook effect is very real! So if you're daft like me don't POAS and panic yourself! Lol
These are the tests.. The top tests are fmu without diluting. The bottom tests are after they have been diluted! It's safe to say that my hcg levels must be quite high xx
I won't be testing again now! Lol I always thought the hook effect happened after 9 weeks but obviously not xx
