Variant Hook Effect - false negative by hCG beta core fragments

[Katiemayurbex]

Ok, think I've figured it out, though it appears to be rotated, so test on the left is now test on the bottom!

Thank you so much for this! I'm 7 weeks and 1 day and my tests were going crazy. Feeling so reassured xxx

This thread is brilliant as although I did a thread on the hook effect yrs ago with pics on here I was around 8 weeks well because I had some tests left I too peed on one yesterday and noticed the line getting lighter still dark but noticeably lighter than previous tests that was on a 3 hr sample so predictable again about 45 mins later and bam line dark again so today did one of my last 2 tests and line was half the strength of a few days prior so diluited 50/50 and dark line again now I knew all about the hook effect as mentioned previously but didn't realize it could start this early as I'm around 5+2 so this thread has really helped me also got my 3 + on a digital on the 45 min hold pee so it really can start early x

So can the hook effect do the same to cbd with weeks or just the sticks?

It seemed to have an effect on the digital for me too x

Thank you for this! I took a cbd with weeks a few times during week 4 and midway thru week 5. All 2-3 I had a scan at 5+3 showing gest. sac and (dr saw) a yolk sac ( i've stared at many ultrasound pictures on the Internet and did not see the clear yolk sac but he saw it forming). At 6+1 I started spotting which wasn't super heavy, no clots, no cramping and went in at 6+2 for another scan showing a much larger gest. sac and clearly defined, gorgeous yolk sac...no reason for bleeding and no real amount of blood coming from anywhere. Spotting/bleeding subsided (never even halfway filled a panty liner and anything that made it to the liner was brown) so I started to feel more hopeful. At 6+5 took another cbd to see.........1-2! I flipped out, honestly. I have another scan Thursday (at 7+3) and desperately praying to see a heartbeat. Limbo sucks

Good luck for your scan tomorrow! Xxxx

Thank you. I'm strangely positive and at peace. But trying to prepare myself for what could be.
