Need help w/opk

I have a question and I hope that someone has an answer! I am trying to get pregnant using opk's and last month used them and it supposedly didnt work. I got what I thought was my period, i tested w/hpt and they both were negative, went to the dr and they only did a urine test, which they said was negative. I am still feeling 'pregnant'? I started w/another opk test today (day 7) and I already have a line. I am confused about what this means? when i used them last pregnancy i got a definite line at ovulation time and now I wonder if I am pregnant? thanks in advance!

Is the test line the same or darker than the reference line? If it is, you might want to take an hpt to double check, because opk will read hCG like LH, but hpt won't read LH. Someone posted an article about it lower on the board in the opk/hpt section.

Did you chart or just use opk to determine ovulation? Good luck!!! Kris

BTW I have heard of people oing as early as cd 7. Let me know how it turns out.

Well I took a hpt this morning and it was negative. So, I'm guessing that it is correct...I will continue w/the opk then. thanks
