i took a opk test and it came back positive and i dont know if im prego or not i had my mirena out on sept 9th and thats when my period ended and it started on the 6th is it to soon to get a positive prego test result?
I would suggest not testing until you miss your period only becuase if you are going to have a chemical pregnancy it would be better to be oblivious. I have been waiting for 4 years to get preggo and I had two positive HPT's yesterday but now Im testing BFN today so I think its a possibity I am having a chemical pregnancy. I wouldhave rather not known at all and have my first + HPT be for real. thats just my opinion... good luck to you all!!
Really... even before your period is due? well hopefully that is what it is because I've never had a surge this long hmmmm maybe I should take a HPT or is it too early I'm not due for my period for 7 more days
I'm pg and have used an opk and get a positive every time, brand used is cheepy frm £ store and also a clearblue digital smiley..............
hope that helps?
Hello,
I'm new to this OPK testing but though I would ask has anyone every tested positive for more than 5 days while using OPK LH surge tests? just wondering if I should be concerned or if I'm having alonger ovulation cycle last month the positive lines went away after 3 days and this month it has laster longer.... any thoughts
When an opk comes up positive during ovulation time then you don't need to keep testing. You will O 12-48hrs after that first positive. Some people continue to test days after a positive but it's just a waste of money. Some women have longer LH surges so their opks stay positive for longer than a day. OPKs will come up positive if prego, but they are not as sensitive so HPT's will be more accurate. Hope this helps....
Not that I am disputing this but if you were pregnant wouldn't the OPK show positive every time you test if research shows LH and HCG are similar? I’m asking because I don’t want to keep purchasing OPK’s at $50 for a month supply when I may in fact be pregnant. This is so confusing.
As for the OPK the LH and HCG hormones are very simmilar but yet different. You can get a BFP on OPK but you would actualy get it sooner on a HPT. I researched this. Basicaly the 2 are similar, but the HCG hormone wears a hat that the LH does not have. So HCG would be detected sooner by HPT. Can't your nurse at least do a BETA while you wait for your apt? I realy hope you get a BFP!!!
I have my doctors appt next week. I couldn't get anything sooner. I figure either I am or my hormones are just nutsy. I am hoping for the "I am pregnant" choice but I don't want to get my hopes up. I have had a time before that I could have sworn I was pregnant and it ended up I was not.
Thanks for the responses. I'll let you know what comes out of it all.
Some of the more experienced ladies here can chime in, but I can say a couple of things. I have heard that you can get a +OPK if you are pregnant and I have a couple of friends who didn't know they were pregnant until they were 3 months along because they got what they thought was AF. BUT - my doctor has told me not to use the Answer brand of OPKs and that they are not reliable. I don't have any other info besides that - that's all they said and I didn't ask any further.
When is your appt? Have you tried a hpt? I've always had luck with the clear blue digital. I'm sending lots and lots and lots of SSBD your way! I hope you get a BFP from the doc!
LH and HCG are structurally very similar, so it is possible to get a positive OPK when you are in fact pregnant. Go get a HPT and test :-)
Best of luck!
