girl · Dec 5th, 2009, 19:58 PM

think i just read somewhere that if ur pregnant and do an OPK test then it'll come up that you're ov'ing???? is that right?!?!

Sure is honey but the OPK has to be positive not just a faint line.

Good luck!

Yeah and they dont always work either! The opks I have are 10miu and I had the most negative looking opk Ive ever seen and had tested + with a hpt!

I had really dark opk at 10dpo and negative hpt but the next day my opk was still really really dark and my hpt was finally faint...

With my second daughter both my opks & hpts were the same darkness. opk couldnt have been classed as pos because it wasent dark enough.

how isd that possible? Those tests test for different hormones... HGC is only released when your preggo, and the LH is release when you have your surge before ovulation.

Using opks are unreliable. It only works for some people. Definitely get an hpt! Good luck!

hey
I used a OPK on 8DPO (yesterday) and guess what it was almost as dark as the control line. I dont want to use HPT yet.. too scaared!

I second the unreliable statement. The month before I fell pregnant, I used an opk and got a nearly +. I used an hpt and got a clear - and AF showed. Now this month I already know I'm preggo but to satisfy my poas addiction I tried last week to poa opk and it was def - at 5 weeks preggo. Last night was the 1st + opk I've gotten since pregnant. So I think for some it may work but not until an hpt has already confirmed it.

True, BUT I didn't get a + opk until I got a + hpt.
