So I read today that OPKs can double as HPTs since LH and HCG are very chemically similar. In the last few days I've gotten several faint (but not squinters!) positives on dollar tree Pregnancy tests but negatives on 3 FRERs. AF is supposed to start today. Had a temp dip just above coverline this morning and some very light brown cm (very little). I often spot the day before AF so I don't know what to think.
Anyway, I decided to use an OPK just to see the result. I used the Internet cheapie I ordered this month. I used these 10 days leading up to my positive result on CD16 and thought they were duds b/c I never got more than a barely visible vvf pink line until CD16 when I got a very dark line. So today I got a line almost equal to the control. Anyone else try this after getting a positive HPT?
If AF doesn't show today I guess I'll call my doctor and request a blood test...or should I wait a few more days? This is my first time getting a positive so I don't know what to do/think!
