4 positive opks two negative hpts
I have been charting since my miscarriage last year and havent had anything longer than a 35 days cylce. (I am now on day 36) I usually ovulated anywhere between cd18 and cd23 this month my chart showed ovulation @ 25 or 27cd. I was due for my period Monday the 26th it is now the 1st of November. I am confused b/c I took a OPK on Thursday (three days late) and got a positive. Being a week late here or there as well can be normal for me. I have heard opks can be or cannot be used as an hpt. So I followed up with two hpts kinda confused cuz one was negative but I swear I saw a very faint blue line through it. So the next day I took another It was negative again, but after falling back asleep I had a dream it was positive so I looked at it again when I got up. I know is a no no, but I did and there was a light but darker blue line through it. I have done tons of research am still curious. My dh wants me to wait until the end of next week to test again, but I'm getting really anxious. So the issue being now I have taken a couple opks everyday since Thursday ALL positive I have been having cramps like AF, but I dont usually get this when I ovulate. My nipples are a little sensitive, but other than that I just feel outa sorts. My first pregnancy ending in miscarriage I had all the symtpoms of pms but 2x stronger. I'm wondering am I pregnant or is there a reason Im getting positive opks if AF is right around the corner??? Some advise would be GREATLY appreciated!
Another negative hpt....Calling the doctor today.....If its negative what else could be happening I ovulate every month including this month???? I havent had a cycle this long since my d&c after my miscarriage last year???
Thank you very much for you response....I'm gunna try a hpt in the morning tomorrow if nothing happens today. If a negative I'm gunna give my gyno a call right away.

Hi!
Go and get a blood test. A blood test will detect very tiny levels of HCG--levels that are undetectable by the urine test. If it is negative you aren't. If it is positive, then you can repeat the test in 48 hours to see how the pregnancy is doing--a healthy pregnancy will have beta HCG levels that double every 48 hours (approx). If it is positive you should also get a progesterone level. That can help you know if the pregnancy is healthy too. Also, if the value is low, you can supplement.
Good luck!
