Sorry not much help good luck ladies and hope your get your BFP!
BTW i've been testing with hpt so far negative.......

Gabrielle

Hey you sound more like you have pregger symptoms....?

Chris77

Gabrielle, how early did you start getting the +opk's? Were you still testing even after you got your first +?

Chris77

lilmomof3 - I found this on-line:

The chemical make-up of LH (LH is the hormone that triggers the release of the egg and is very high prior to ovulation and causes a positive result on an OPK), is one thread short of being hCG (HCG is produced by the placenta during prenancy and it is what HPT's look for). That is why you will not get a + hpt if you are having your LH surge, but you will get a + OPK if you are pregnant, that one thread that is in the hCG, but missing from the LH is what makes the hpt work.

But on the other hand, he (meaning the doctor) did say that an OPK is probably the most sensitive hpt you can buy. He said that there are two ways to use it.

1. Using it daily and if your test line gets darker then you are most probably pregnant

2. Use it once (yeah right ), and if your test line is as dark as or darker than the referance line then you are pregnant.

He said that the only bad things about using the OPK are that

1. The OPK will pick up a + hCG before the doctor's office test but about two days after a beta test would pick it up (detecting 10mIU of hCG being between 7dpo - 9dpo ~ according to the average impant of 5-7 days), so if you are waiting to take a urine test at the doc's office, you would still have to wait.

2. It detects pregnancy so early that it will detect chemical pregnancy and early m/c pregnancy

3. Cannot be used reliably by PCOS patients if they have a high LH (as most do)/I]

with my last pregnancy i kept getting negative opks and once i got my positive one...it was never negative again.
This time around i didnt use opks to try and find my o but just started with them last tuesday and they were really dark all last week and now they are faint.....

Chris77

Gottcha....thanks - same with me. I didn't keep testing after the initial +. Then, on a whim (and to laugh at myself) I tested last night and it was VERY dark.

Gabrielle

Whens your af due?

I had docebella take one( shes newly prego) and it was just a faint line...so idk.

Chris77

I'm only 6 dpo - so AF is due around the 24th.

Chris77

idk either....maybe everyone's different and not everyone will test positive on an opk when preggers?
