although ovulation test strips are not made to detect pregnancy, they do! When you ovulate your body creates a hormone called LH, this hormone is produced in small amounts throughout your cycle HOWEVER right before ovulation you get a "surge" of this hormone to help with ovulation thats what the test strips check for. When you ARE pregnant your body produces a hormone called HCG AND LH, this is why if you are pregnant you will get a positive OPK and a positive Pregnancy test! But when you ovulate you ONLY make the LH so only a ovulation test would detect that In summary IF you have been getting + OPK's for 5 days now I would highly suggest taking a HPT. It is very possible you are already pregnant! If the pregnancy test is negative I would call your DR because Having that much LH in your body could make it difficult to get pregnant.
but just realised youv had AF , darn it! good luck for next month huni xx
