Hey everyone, I took an OPK about an hour ago and it came up almost positive, the line is actually darker in real life than it looks on the picture.
I took a HPT - although not a sensitive one and it came up BFN (I know its so early though)
I just don't know what to think, am I ovulating later than I thought (I only use OPK's so I cant know for definite I ovulated 8 days ago) or could this possibly be the start of a BFP??? I usually get stark white OPK's especially with this brand and only get a line when I am ovulating.


Anyone got any experience of this situation??

It seems pretty normal to have OPK's like that. I know this isn't the answer you want to hear but be patient and test with an HPT in a few more days.
 
Thanks for the reply, I know it's probably nothing, I am hoping my ic hpt's turn up today so I can test properly lol
 
I know this is not what you want to hear but pregnancy test will pick it up before a opk in fact women gt a lh surge right before af arrives.in early pregnancy a woman has 0 or close to 0 lh in her system yes lh and hcg are similar and yes a opk will pick it up but only when there is enough hcg for a pregnancy test to detect it 1st

Thanks for the reply, I know it's not because AF is due because I still have 11 days, I have never ever had a period come this early, my cycles are around 33-35 days.
Im sure it's due to hormonal fluctuations esp as OPK this morning was lighter.
I will test with hpt tonight hopefully - I know it's still early but I just can't stop myself lol
 
Thought I would update for others in similar situation - I got my BFP a couple of days after the positive OPK. Whether it was the OPK picking up HCG or coincidence who knows but it worked out good for me :)
 
Eek hoping this is gonna be me!

Here are my opks from yesterday (7dpo) and today (8dpo)...stronger one today! https://tinypic.com/r/axl8jn/8

Hpt is negative tho

Hey Lucy I just read your message... Your OPK's definitely look like something is going on, I would def continue to test with hpt - if it's positive I reckon you should see something faint tomorrow or next day. My OPK's were always stark white unless I was ovulating so getting a line at 8DPO was very odd. Good luck and make sure you update :) :)
I did an OPK the other day cos I still have loads and the line was soooo much darker than the control lol
 
Thought I would also update, bfp confirmed with cb digi 1-2 weeks :)
 
@lucy1 congrats what was your symptoms and was you late? X.
 
Tbh I haven't had many! I'm not actually due AF until around 1st July so I think I'm only 9dpo!

I had brown cm on Friday which I think may have been implantation spotting but other than that not a clue! The one month I don't have symptoms lol
 
Congratulations - that's great news :) :) It's crazy how the OPK's seem to pick up bfp before a hpt xxx
 
I am so excited I found this post. Just took an opk and it looks like yours. I am 8dpo and have sore nipples and ewcm a lot of it. I hope it's a good sign for us too. We have been trying 6 years.
 
Nothing like being in same position and finding a thread you commented on years ago. Crazy.
