Anyone else have tests that stall out and not get darker??? I am 5w5d and I feel like my tests are not getting darker than this! I had an ultrasound today and saw gestational sac and a yolk sac!

They can't really get any darker than this. I would stop testing at this point because the hook effect can happen (it gets so high that the tests can't process it and it looks lighter) so that could be extra stressful to see if it did happen.

@Bbethel1997,

No problem, and that's awesome! 🙌 Awe, congratulations. I also have a history of loss and pregnancy after loss can be terrifying at times. How amazing you conceived without IVF this time!

100000% stop testing, especially seeing as you had an ultrasound with great results!

The last strip doesn’t look like it could possibly get any darker! I’d stop testing!

@Bbethel1997,

yes but continuous testing is not an effective way to track a pregnancy. Eventually they will start lightening up again because they can’t acknowledge the high hormone levels as your pregnancy progresses.
