When you move up properly rolled, if you notice that you're losing over a small sample, how long do you continue to play the current stakes before moving back down?

If I had to guess, I would imagine if x is a small number (like 2-3), that taking a shot makes the outcome pretty much solely dependent on how hot/cold you run, as opposed to moving up properly rolled & the bankroll being able handle losing maybe 10 (?) buyins & being able to better see whether or not you're winning/losing at the higher stakes over a larger number of hands (takes more time to lose 10 buyins than 2-3).
Or am I completely off?
