OPKs as HPTs? WHAT DO YOU KNOW??

I know I've read a few things about OPKs as HPTs, but can't remember now that I need to know! I'm on C4, CD22. I'm not really charting, but I'm guessing I ovulated somewhere in CD13-16. I had light spotting on CD14, and then more spotting CD20-22 (today). I guess you would call it spotting - light light brown, very little. Well, I know it's way too early to test, but yesterday I used an OPK that I had laying around and it was positive. Anyway, I love to try to read into things :o) - what do you think?

Hi, I'm not sure if I understood your message correctly... How can it be you ovulated a while ago but yet you used a OPK (ovulation predictor kit) today or yesterday and it is positive. Did you mean a pregancy test kit (PTK)? If that's the case, then you might be pregnant. I had some spotting too and I think I'm pg... :) Good luck!

That's my question! :o) ...I have read from several people here that OPKs can sometimes give a positive result that could indicate pregnancy. It sounds kind of silly now that I'm typing it but I know I have read about this more than once on here!

I guess it's possible I just O'd yesterday, but very unlikely. My cycles pretty regular at 28-32 days.

Hi there,

+OPK sounds pretty good from what I have read. Here is what I posted on a similar thread here a few weeks ago:



This idea is definitely making the rounds of all the TTC boards. This was the best explanation I have found - who knows if it's true for you but it seems to have worked for some people:

Seems like for it to work you would have to be using a very sensitive OPK, that would show a positive at a lower concentration than the HPT you are using.

Good luck!
