Hello - I need your help! I usually have 40 day cycles, well I'm on day 57 here. Last week I tested (for the third time) with a HPT and it was -. Well, On Sunday (day 55) I thought I was having Ovulation symptms, so I took a OPK and it was +. Then I took another one today and it is + again. I'm wondering -could I be PG? I thought that OPK might be checking for the same HCG as HPT's? Does anyone know?? Or maybe I am just "O" ing very, very late! Any help would be much appreciated!

Thank you!

Thank you so much for this link! I thought that you could use them as HPTs!! So now my next step is to take a HPT tomorrow morning and see what it says. Wish me luck!!! : )

I'm SOOO hoping this is "it" because I went through IF treatments to get PG with my DS who is 20 months!

Thanks again!
