Is it true that a positive ovulation test will show a positive result if you're pregnant?

@HarperJess what was your outcome? I've been getting positive opks again since 5 dpo, which is very strange. I'm now 7 dpo. I've definitely O'd as I temp as well

I'm joining this too! We're trying to conceive, last period was on 25/08 so should have finished ovulating over a week ago, still 8 days till I'm due on.. done a few pt's (I'm impatient) and they're all negative but I REALLY feel pregnant. I know that sounds weird but with my last two I just knew and I feel the same now, lots of pains and feelings in my lower ab and my skins gone greasy which happened both times too.
Did an ovulation test today and it was so strong - darker than the control line.

I'm confused! Hoping it's an early sign of pregnancy and maybe its just too early for a pt to pick it up yet!

Hello,
I have been using ovulation tests for just over a week with no lines. Today I took a test and the line was quite dark but not as dark as the control line. What does this mean? Thanks

Yep. I got a positive ovulation test the day before AF was due done a HPT that evening and was positive too

OPK's pick up LH not HCG, so it's unlikely to be a precursor of a BFP. As suggested get something like a first response if you want to test, or wait til after AF is due, then test for a decent positive and less line squinting :)

Good Luck x

so I'm currently 4 days late (took a HPT the day before i was due, faint positive

yesterday did an OPK

Can you help me? am I preg

Frank did you get your positive in the end xx

Ok so I’m joining in lol I have had a faint line on the OPK for like 2 weeks I stopped my depo injection in December I should of gone for it but decided not to do for the last couple of weeks I have felt pregnant..feeling sick ...boobs hurt and I have been getting really bad craps and sharp pains that come and go where my overies are had blood tests and done hpt but negative had a few faint lines but been told they could be condensation lines or something also sometimes pain is just on 1 side anyone else stopped the depo injection and had these problems xxx

Thanks as I'm new to all this not really sure how it works to be honest. I have started a new thread now. My friend recommended Ovia and concieved her girl on it. I hate having false hope. It's very difficult as I can imagine it's the same for all of the other mums/first timers.. x

This is a very old thread. You’ll be best to start a new one.

But honestly an OPK will show 2 lines at Almost anytime in your cycle. It’s only positive if the line is as dark as the control line.

Also, please don’t track from an app. Those fertile windows are very generic.

Even if you did ovulate perfectly it’s very unlikely that implantation happened and you experienced flutters within 6 days when usually symptoms like this take weeks and weeks to even manifest.

Coming off birth control can lead to all kinds of mental tricks and we often think we’re pregnant when we aren’t in those first few cycles.

My advice would be to read up on how ovulation works, implantation and then try and have sex every other day of your cycle for maximum chances.

Good luck.

Hi need some friendly advise..
31st Aug had my implant out during September I had my AF 3 times in one month!! Awful I know expecially when TTC. I use the Ovia app and during beginning of this month it said i was in my fertile window, so done the deed ;) about 6days after started experiencing flutters in stomach not feeling myself tired, moody ya know symptoms that suggested a pregnancy. So like anyone would get abit excited by this anyways today I thought I would do a pregnancy test this morning bfn for pregnancy and also done a ovulation test to which showed a line in the test line slightly faint.. as the day went on I had really bad stomach cramps and now have brown spotting when wipe!! Now getting very frustrated. Has anyone experienced the same and what does this mean?? Thanks in advance xx

I know this is a really old thread but no, I had a faint line on an opk last month and took a pregnancy test, BFN followed a few days later by my AF, so the answer is no, I can't pick up the pregnancy hormone

frank I didn't get my BFP on the OPK until the day after my period was due, despite having tested once a day, sometimes twice every day, for the preceding week

It was only when I got my OPK BFP that I went out and bought a HPT

Yes. LH which is tested for in ov kits is biochemically v similar to b hcg which is tested for in preg kits. B hcg has 'an extra bit' on top of the basic LH structure so only works this way round

My cycles are normally 31 days, I'm 26 days late today so if I'm not pregnant hopefully af will show up next weekend?! I feel so nauseous though, it's probably all in my head.
Everything I've read online says if you get +OPKs you should get a +HPT as ov tests are not as sensitive so I don't really know what to think. Is anyone POASing this morning? I don't know if I will bother when I'm getting my bloods back tomorrow.

Yes 21 days late before bfp, tested every day like a mad woman.
Weird thing was I was pregnant before but it ended in a MMC with that one I got a bfp 3 days before my period was due.
Then with ds 3 weeks late before the hunt of a second line showed up. So I don't know what to think now.

My first BFP came as a result of POA OPK stick!!!

Such happy memories.

Good luck to everyone testing

Just took one still negative
Do you have to take them properly like waiting 20 mins?

andthisistrue
I was 21 days late when pregnant with ds,
I'm 16 days late just now, so many bfns forcing myself to wait till 21 days.
Thou I may try an ovulation test now just to see what happens.

Yes, I bought very cheap opk from amazon a few years back, when they were delivered though I'd try one just to see even though I knew I wasn't ovulating (or shouldn't have been) it was positive and I was pregnant. What a waste of all those opk, which are still in my bathroom cabinet nearly 4 years later!
