When to stop testing?

You can test how much you want, just know after the 5 week point the hook effect can happen and the pregnancy tests will get lighter, it's just because the HCG levels are so high that the test doesn't detect it as well
@Nevaeh oh I’ve never heard of that! Thank you
I also second what nevaeh said, that happened with me so I know its not a bad thing but I know I worried. I imagine it's much harder to not worry with getting pregnant through IVF but the professionals are there to support and you've got lots of girls on here for support too❤️❤️
@Sophie 🥹💕 thank you
HCG doubles every 2 days, so every 2 days it would show a better difference but it also depends on how diluted the urine is when you test Those types of tests don't seem to get that dark, I used pregmate and a first response at the same time at 17dpo and the pregmate was very faint while the first response was very dark, so it could be the brand too every brand is a little different
@Nevaeh such a minefield! 🙈 I think I should just switch to every other day until the easy@homes are gone and then do my last digital a few days after 5 weeks
Yeah it is lol and congratulations
What app is this?

Test as much as you want! It's your little miracle! But there does get to a point where it stops getting darker. I panicked once because when I was around 6 weeks, I tested and it didn't seem as dark as the previous ones I'd been getting. All was completely fine though! It's not a bad thing to still want to see the line as confirmation that you're still pregnant. I found the digital ones that say how many weeks calming because I could see that the pregnancy was progressing because each week the weeks changed x
