+ OPK on CD 4??

[shoesnob]

My BFF is TTC and she got a + on a OPK on CD4. It was a very dark line. What can you tell me about this. Is she Oing now, in the next couple days, or is it a faulty test? When should she test again, and when should she BD?

First, could she be pregnant and has she taken a pregnancy test? Second, is she on any medication like Clomid or anything like that? They can give false positives on opk's if used too early.

she isn't on any meds.

She isn't pg because her "." was heavier than normal

Honeslty Ive lost a lot of faith in OPKs. Last cycle I had one on the day I got my period. And the day before. It could have been a chemical pregnancy, but preg tests showed negative, so its a mystery

In my experience they do show ovulation...but false positives in other parts of the cycle are quite common, which is a bit worrying

Ask her to take an HPT just in case. There are women who bleed during pregnancy like normal. They think it's a period but it's not. It's called decidual bleeding.

Another angle, is this her first month using opks? Because some women with PCOS have elevated levels of LH in their system and can get positives all the time.

The last option is that it is real although I've never heard of anyone ovulating so early. Is she actually even done with her period yet? Anyway, after the first positive, most women will ovulate 12-24 hours after, so yes, BD. Can't hurt even if it wasn't correct therefore it can only help, so I'd do it.

from my friend

well this is my issue with the wierdo opks, we know i am not pg cause i took a ton of hpt, and we know i do not have pcos since i just had my ovaries u/s like a month ago. so the option that i ovulated seems to be so rare and crazy on day 4 (i bd anyway) so i feel like there is no explanation for a pos that early. it has gotten lighter and lighter since? and i just stopped bleeding yesterday. tons of wetness and a little stringy mucous but its hard to tell if any is ewcm cause we have been bd every other day. as far as i can tell the cervix isnt favorable but??? since its my first time to even check it. sooo>>>????ahhhh

hun is there any chance she could have been preg or had a chemical pregnancy, as i am preg and have been using opks for 2 weeks making sure my hormone still high as i had a m/c 2 months ago and they show really dark lines that are near enough black....lol but after my m/c i had pos opks for about a week then faded gradually, i used opks properly for 1 month and feel preg, i personally thought they were amazing and very accuate but everyone is different, also ask ur friend to get a FRER as some people dnt have high hcg in early preg but opks are more sensitive to hcg so will show lines, and to anyone who uses the internet cheepie HPT's honestly they are terrible, i had my bfp on 9dpo and they never showed anything till gone 13dpo x x x x always uses a FRER for early testing x x x x
