its not a reliable way to tell, the tests basically test for the same hormone except that the hcg being tested for on the opk is say the twin with the hat on if that makes sence. i got blindingly pos opks when i gto pregnant cause i wanted to see if it would work..... ps they also work with boob milk haha
