Are OPKs accurate when a UTI is present?

Hi girls,

I know I've got a UTI right now, and I'm flushing it through as much as I can. I'm not on antibiotics - it should clear up on its own if I drink enough.

I took an ovulation test this morning (10am) and it's definitely positive. I'm just wondering if it might pick up blood in the urine, or protein/leukocytes etc. What do you think? My test was negative yesterday, and I know I had the UTI then too, so that makes me think this is a real positive and not a false one.

Hey hun, I had a UTI last month over ov and it didn't affect my OPK at all. I didn't ov until CD18 so it probably delayed ov a little but it didn't affect the OPK.

I'm taking cranberry tabs, they work wonders xx

Thanks hun. It threw me, because I ov'd on CD18 last cycle, but it definitely looks like I'll ovulate earlier this cycle!
