Yes but not good news! I had a bad stomach all day yesterday, full on period blood last night. Got brown discharge this morning so I guess my body is having some kind of period (or trying to!) feeling achey and sick. My body is sooooooo unpredictable at the moment. I had a normal period after coming off pill, since then it does what it likes when it likes 😡

Any update?

I think they're One Step. Same brand as the OPK you've done.

Are the pregnancy tests the same brand as the opks!? I might buy some, I find places like Boots so overpriced! You’re ovulation test is very strong, I’d say as much as mine! X

The blue one is the pregnancy tests

kirinm · 29/12/2017 16:54

The blue is the pregnancy test. The line is faint - I've had a + on a digital test too. I think the ovulation test is the same brand as the one you've used.

Sorry to be a dumbo, which test if which? I haven’t done a pregnancy test before Confused

Thank you! I'm about 4 weeks or just over. Found out 2 days ago. The tests have dried quite a bit now.

@kirinm could you share a photo of this? As keen to see what a opk test looks like when pregnant

I did an ovulation test today (having read this post and knowing I'm just pregnant). Yours are MUCH darker than mine. I think you should test!

I will do one over the weekend Smile. I haven’t read anything concrete on the inet to say such a positive reading means pregnancy. I will acknowledge it’s a very strong test line though lol xx

That's how I knew I was pg - a random positive opinion midcycle. I wouldn't have known till the bump showed up otherwise! Good luck xx

Mimilicious013 · 29/12/2017 12:45

test! test! test!

surreygirl1987 · 29/12/2017 12:12

Do a test later and let us all know? Intrigued to see how it turns out!

I know it sounds incredibly naive, but I just don’t believe I am. I’ve had no symptoms and looking at timescales, if I am pregnant now, I would have conceived around 6 weeks ago so surely I would “know”.
I’ve also had some on off spotting the last couple of weeks which I thought was post pill wackiness. xx

Why don't you do a test and then you'll know?

Kate8989 · 29/12/2017 11:25

Nope lol

I’m at work today, also I’ve convinced myself Im not so don’t really feel motivated to buy one. I really wish I was though!!!

Have you tested @Kate? Fingers crossed for you.

Bless you all, thanks for the insights and advice. My heart of course would love me to be pregnant and believe I am!!
My head is saying my hormones are probably out of whack since coming off the pill, so that’s why I have a random result Confused . I would love a positive pregnancy result though, it’s a shame I have about 50 opks in my cupboard but not one pregnancy test lol xx

Saw this earlier and was puzzling over a bit.... it just came to me that you must be pregnant and that is why the tests are so dark for so long. Anyway, I have been beaten to it but congrats! I would bet the farm you are pregnant x

AmyB1986 · 28/12/2017 20:22

My opks look like that. I was pregnant little girl is 12 weeks old now. Never had one that strong when I was ovulating

BertieBotts · 28/12/2017 20:17

If you google image search "very strong OPK" you get loads of OPKs like yours next to positive pregnancy tests Grin

BertieBotts · 28/12/2017 20:16

End of Nov seems more likely to me - I reckon you might be pregnant from that cycle!

If the test line is darker than the control for OPK, that means that it's positive. It's just most people never get it that strong, which is why I'm thinking pregnancy rather than LH surge, and why people are also confusing the lines for each other. Strongest I've seen is the test line being very slightly darker than control, not properly overpowering it like that and stealing all the dye.
