Can opk pick up pregnancy before a hpt?

[Ems77]

Ladies, please also keep in mind that it is not unusual to get another LH surge before AF; try and use OPKs as OPKs and HPTs as HPTs. I am not saying not to play, but don't call a BFP strictly from a positive OPK. FX'd.

I didn't know about the second LH surge, it's a good thing to know thanks for the info!!

Thanks ladies, I only ever get lines on a opk close to ovulation I never alway get lines thanks for honesty I feel like you have made me realise this may not be a sign but fingers crossed xx

Morning! I POAS this morning too on a sensitive ic but it was negative thing is from my chart I can see I haven't had a dip in temp yet which usually means implantation so maybe thats why!!! Its weird you get a line on an OPK! I hope thats a good sign..are you going to test? x

 

[tryingforno2]

Hi cd! I think I'm just gona wait until af is late or shows he'd face! I dont wanna see that bfn boo!! X

 

[cdj1]

I dont blame you....I felt sick when I saw it was just 1 line....I hate it but every morning now I get tempted this morning I gave in...bet I will do it again tomorrow lol x

 

[tryingforno2]

Your stronger then me then, I got so excited to see 2 lines on a test even I'd it wAs an opk lol!!! Well af is due Sunday so if she ain't here will test Monday hoping this is our month lady!! Fx for you tomorrow xx

 

[Ems77]

Mine is due Sunday too and I as well plan on waiting until Monday
Let's see if we actually make it, lol, I don't think I will because I feel different this cycle. Examples being that my temp is still up, and I had what felt like implantation cramping... among other minor things that can be either way like gas LOL.

 

[tryingforno2]

It's weird cos I feel really different this cycle, completely different to all the other months, I never felt this doubtful other months but this one is weird?? I jut don't know why, I have been cramping for the last 2days my boobs go from fine to sore to fine in like 10mins? My back has been aching and my boobs are defo bigger? I don't know what's going on? Fx for you all xxx

I wouldn't really take it as a sign unless your late / get a BFP... I got super + OPKs CD41,42,43 so I'm guessing I O'd super late (I didn't get those super + OPKs til I was a couple days late for AF) I'm now 11 days late.. still BFNs ...unless I am in fact only 5dpo


also read that you have another LH surge before AF..

 

[Marini_Mare]

I read that an OPK will show a POS pregnancy but that the Hcg tests will show up positive first...Something about Hcg and LH are almost identical except the LH has something a little extra..does that make sense?...that is why an HCG test cant show ovulation cause the HCG doesnt have that extra chemical needed to show a pos OPK...Now this is just stuff I have read googling through my TWW so dont take my word for it...Hope you get you BFP! GL...

you got it backwards - the HCG has the little something extra, thats why OPKs can show pregnancy but HPTs can't show O (HPTs pick up the little something extra) this explains it

Hey all just thought I would chime back in. I was infact pregnant I confirmed with multiple other tests and cb digital...anyway the ic opk I took was twice as dark as the ic pregnancy test I took. The opk was pretty much positive by ovulation standards it was very dark and just a hair lighter than the control line when I used a ic hcg test with the same sample of urine I got a VERY faint positive that barely had color, so I would say yes opk "can" detect sooner/ or at least give a darker line sooner than the cheap hcg tests (keep in mind I got a nice dark positive on a frer and digital the same day that I had a barely their squint to see bfp on a internet cheapie. In the future I think the cheap opk tests are great and work just as well as expensive ones but the expensive hcg tests take away a lot of the guess work. If I hadn't taken a FRER I would still be questioning the VERY faint bfp I got on the ic ....Just thought I would share. So yes the OPK gave me a nice pink positive and I am indeed preggo.

Usually you'd get a positive HPT before OPK. But it's possible to get a positive opk first, but shortly followed by a positive hpt. It's either pregnancy, a surge before AF, OR your really about to ovulate. xx

i am 8dpo today and have had very + opk's since 5dpo. that's when cramping started. i have done 2 hpt's but of course bfn....far too early!! i hope that it's a good sign for me but wont get my hopes up!!

 

[Ems77]

Just wanted to add that I have had very negative (no line) OPK's and I got a BFP today.

 

[taylorxx]

Congrats Vaurissa!!!! Have a H&H 9 months!!



Did the OP get her bfp yet?

 

[Ems77]

Yes, it picks up the HCG before a pregnancy test does.

Just wanted to add, if it wasn't seen, that mine did not. I had a BFP and a neg OPK yesterday. It must depend upon the individual because there are people out there I have read about that are the dead opposite.

I used answer brand since having my iud fall out. I had nothing but the control line show up until positive opk about 2 weeks ago. Then back to stark white. Then yesterday got a faint line on opk.

Going to buy hpt in a few hours.
I have heard allot of people say they always get 2 lines on opks but I only did when it was a true positive and the test was as dark as the control.
