I think you have a couple options.  You can test then increase if needed, or increase first then test after 3 weeks.  Ideally, if testing frequently is not an issue, you would test, increase if necessary, then retest.  It's up to you what works best for you.  I know I can't afford to test that frequently, nor can I get a vet out whenever I want, so I just make do with what I can get done.
