Still testing at 5 weeks

[corrie anne]

I'm 5 weeks today and I still am testing, silly I know. But I'm cautious. I hold my pee for 4 hours before testing every time. I'm thinking my tests aren't getting darker bc I'm holding? Anyone tested holds vs no holds this far along in dpo? Any thoughts? Should I stop testing? Lol. 15dpo hcg was 350 17dpo my hcg was 760. Doubling time 42hrs which is in normal range but I see everyone doubling times in the 20s and 30s.

Definitely stop testing! I think I was still testing at that point and the progress always seems slow, especially when you’re testing frequently. I didn’t have hCG blood tests so can’t comment on numbers but the darkness of the lines was something I obsessed over!

I always test alot at the beginning but only because I've had chemicals and I want to make sure the line gets darker.
U can have a thing called the hook effect witch makes the lines give lighter but that normoly happens around 6 weeks.
