So these were all First Response and have all been definitely positive all week but weird thing is, my fmu tests were always lighter then evening ones all week. I do have other symptoms like I'm exhausted and my bbs hurt. But now I'm soooooooo confused!! This test at 6pm was like NEGATIVE not so much as a squinter.Then while I was googling I came across something called the hook effect??? Anyone know anything about that?

Sounds like it might be a faulty test. If you were getting good solid positives throughout the preceding week, even if you were to m/c (not saying you are), you still wouldn't go from solid positive to stark negative overnight. It takes days to weeks for the HCG to get out of your system. At this point, I would try another test. If that one is negative, then I'd give your OB a call and let them know that you had several positive tests and are now getting negative tests and they'll likely have you come in for bloodwork and to see what's going on. Fingers crossed for you!
