OPK as HPTs....Please read!
| Wed, 08-27-2003 - 9:29pm |
Okay, after reading everyone's posts about the OPK's being used as HPTs, I caved in and rushed out and bought an OPK kit. I've been charting based on CM only. I o'd on the 21st (CM was clear & stretchy, sorry if tmi) we last tried on the 18th, my last AF was 8/7. We have been ttc for 4 months, using the Shettles Method for a second girl, this is the first month we've stopped trying just 3 days before, as 4 days didn't work.
Well, to my surprise...my OPK came out as positive as positive can get. Has anyone else actually used the OPKs as HPTs and got a positive that was really pregnant? Can I celebrate yet?
I've been having symptoms since 3 days after I o'd, Im up a cup size and tender, nipples darkened over night last night, mild cramping about 4 days po. No bleeding or spotting, plenty of nausea and sleepy one minute, bouncing off the walls the next.
Any guesses welcome!!!

My advice, go out and buy a FRE, Answer Early or Clearblue Earliest and TEST!!! Getting an opk + after you have O'd is promising.
BTW I chart temps so I was certain I O'd...but since you don't there is always the chance you are Oing now. If the hpt is - then test again with opk the next day and see what happens if the test line turns faint then you may just have o'd.
Good Luck!!! And give us an update!!!

I sure hope these OPK's are accurate! And I hope we can meet up on the May Board!! Let me know if you get a positive on an HPT.
Lots of baby dust to us all!!

I took another OPK tonight, and its a stronger positive than last night. I *know* I'm not ovulating now. I may not temp, but my doc swears CM is more accurate if you know what your looking for and check every time you go to the restroom. I tried charting temp one month and it was a disaster, as I get at least one cold every month which throws the whole chart off, especially since I'm prone to getting the sniffles around my O every month lol! By checking every time I use the restroom I can pinpoint within 2-3 hours of a change. I dunno. Baby dust to all three of us!!!
I'm off to Florida in the AM for my anniversary. But I'll post when I get back, and hope to test while on vacation, so maybe I'll have good news :)
