OPK's as HPT's??
| Sat, 09-20-2003 - 2:48pm |
Hi all, my name is Stephanie (32) and I *might* be preggers with #4. So...onto my question, has anyone ever heard of using OPK's about a week after O to test for pregnancy? I heard about this on another board (not on PP) and this girl said she used an OPK on 7 dpo and got a + and then used an HPT on 10 dpo and got a + as well. I read this article that says that you can use them since LH and HCG are only a 'strain' apart in the world of fertility.
Anyway, has anyone tried this? Is this a bunch of crap? Am I a freak for even considering this, lol? I just *need* to know if I am pg or not because I need to be prepared for the nervous breakdown that will follow should I be pg! :o)
Btw, I did do the OPK thing and I am 7 dpo today and it showed an *almost* positive, meaning the test line was pretty much the same color as the control line. If I'm not pg why would it be telling me I'm about to O when I know that I O'd last Saturday??
TIA!
Hugs,
Stephanie
