+ OPK after O HELP!!

Okay- I will try to make this brief: I Oed somewhere on days 12-14 but did not have the sore bbs that usually go with it. Started having a little EWCM again at 25 dpo and decided to do an OPK, just for the heck of it. It came out +! My line was almost twice as dark as the control line! This was very confusing since I have been really tired, emotional, and starting to get sore bbs. I figured I was PMSing- especially since AF is due the 3rd. DH and I thought I may have Oed late so we BDed anyway. Now I am going to have to wait another 14 days until I take a HPT. I just wanted to know if anyone else had a + OPK that turned out to be false. Any insight?? TIA

I don't mean to get your hopes up, but... OPKs can also be used as a sort of "early pregnancy test" toward the end of the luteal phase. Someone posted an article about using OPKs as pregnancy tests... maybe they can share.

Thanks for your reply. I also don't want to get my hopes up- but I have checked out all of the sites on OPKs as HPTs anyway. :-> Maybe I will test once on the 3rd (when AF is due) instead of dragging it out. We'll see...

I too have read that the same hormone that OPK's detect is in your system after implantation.... I would test on the day AF is due with your FMU and see what it says.... I will send you lots and lots of BFP vibes

Thanks! It looks like I will be testing tomorrow. I'd rather a BFN than getting my hopes up any longer. It will be cycle day 29 so hopefully I will get an accurate reading. I'll let you know!

Well BFN!!! Not only does that stink but it also means that my body is totally screwed up since I was obviously Oing on cycle day 25! Well, the only good news is that DH and I BDed at the right time- so there is still hope for being prego this month!
