I need some opinions and information please. I first had a faint positive 2/13 I posted photos of my test and I got a yes+ I think it was 2/16 also did a post about that. Well I took another test this morning and it looked negative, barely a faint line. All tests have been first response. I heard of the “hook affect” so I diluted my urine a little bit and still nothing so that’s not the case. Any experience with this anyone?? I messaged my doctor after my positive result and she ordered a blood test to see what my levels are at, I’ll be going in Monday. I’m just so confused. Never had this happen before.

Diluted urine can cause negatives.

Only one test was diluted though to just see if the hook affect was what’s going on. I’ve taken 3 that we’re not diluted and looked negative. That’s why I’m confused.

diluted urine can happen of you pee often without a hold. Like if it wasn't fmu.
Did you do them with fmu?

this morning yes. And it wasn’t diluted. There was barely a faint line. I diluted the one from this afternoon just half an hour ago. Both were negative though.

Sounds like a possible chemical

I hope not :( I haven’t noticed any blood or tissue passing though. I guess I’ll know for sure Monday when I do a blood test. How can my doctor tell if I’ve had a chemical pregnancy?

chemical is when your period is actually due give or take 5th week...your period will be much heavier with the loss and your blood test numbers didn't raise and will drop

The hook effect only happens once your hcg is like 1,000,000 mIU/mL.

I read a little on it and just wanted to see if that was a possibility to explain why I’m getting negatives now.

Hook effect is when you have a lot of hcg in your system. My tests had it, but I still could see it.

Thank you for sharing your experience with that. I just felt like I needed to rule it out as a possibility. I was kind of hoping that would have been the case with me. I don’t think it is though. Mine points more towards a chemical pregnancy like pp mentioned in a previous comment :( I’ve had a miscarriage before and it was terrible. Even though it was just over a year ago it still is hard to deal with. I hope the blood test comes back normal though. I don’t want to go through losing another baby.

I know how that is 100% I’ve had 2 miscarriages and they were last year I got pregnant right after my second miscarriage and I didn’t believe I was pregnant but I thought my test were negative since it barely showed the second line but everyone on my mom groups, and apps said it was definitely a positive.

Not a thick solid line but a visible line with my first as I previously posted but I also got a first response “Yes+” 2 days after my first test. I had spotting 1/18-1/20 so maybe that’s when the chemical pregnancy started. Idk. I’m hoping the blood test will help explain more.

I’d try a different brand of test. First Response does have indents at times and the digitals have given multiple people I know false positives. Good luck!
