the OPK story from youngest child
Tue, 07-18-2006 - 5:29pm

So, here I am obsessing, and i remembered something I did with my youngest child.

I was obsessing then as well. (surprising, isn't it) Well, it was too early to test with an HPT as I wasn't late or even due for AF. It was close enough to AF that I KNEW there was no way I was ovulating. (I was not/nor had been on BC so my cycle was regular) Well, I got myself an OPK and sure enough that test line was just as dark as the control line. So I'm either i'm ovulating (remember, that couldn't be, too close to AF) or it detected some hcg...well..I waited a few days and got an hpt. It was positive. So I'm thinking...hmmmm...maybe I'll do that again......

Don't mind me. Just obsessing.

Also wanted to share that story for those of you who wonder about OPK's as HPT's.
