Erica & CupKake,

Have a look at this website -

http://www.peeonastick.com/opkhpt.html

it tells you how OPKs work as HPTs and has pictures of what you might expect to see if you are using an OPK as a HPT, might help if you have something to compare your tests to?

Best of luck xxx

My friend used an OPK to test if she was pregnant and it came up positive, that positive is now a 19 month old bundle of mischief. Good luck, it sounds good. xx

i did opk's every other day in the 2nd week of the TWW. The night before the morning that i did preggo tests, i got a pos opk when the rest of the week they'd been neg. Next morning, saved my wee, went out and bought 6 preg tests. Came back and did three (one digi, and 2 different regulars) all three were pos. So as an exp, did opk again, and came back even stronger pos. So, like a loony, when i finished all my preg tests the next week, for about a week, i kept using opks and they kept getting stronger. So after that long winded reply, yes, you can get a pos opk when pregnant but as others have said, it can't be relied upon so maybe wait another day or so and do another preg test. Good luck!!

opks will show a faint line nearly all the time as they detect LH which is always present in a womans body, although they detect hcg aswell. they can be used as pregnancy tests but its not recommended, if an opk is positive the line must be darker than the control line or the same. What you have described is normal, but the hpts, if they have a faint line, then it is positive, but if you did one a little later and it was negative then I dont know.

Good luck! I hope this is your bfp x
