Strange timeline - BFP?

Hi all,

I’m on day 69 since my last period.

I took an OPK last Monday and it was positive….I have PCOS so do ovulate at random times, plus cycles are never regular. Never has an OPK as dark as that one before.

Then today, one step strip HCG test looks like this with FMU!

Any ideas?

I’ve been getting faint positives on and off for around 6 weeks, but it’s so on and off that I’m not convinced I’m pregnant. The GP keeps saying ‘a line is a line’ but the digis are negative, and now an OPK is saying I’ve ovulated?!

would love anyone’s stories of PCOS pregnancy or just some fresh opinions on this!

Hi Katy,

Thanks for replying.

Yes, and temp confirms ovulation according to my acupuncturist - she’s amazing.

Have been using OPKs sporadically, as wasn’t sure if I was pregnant so didn’t think I needed to track.

Done another one step strip this PM and faint line again.

Thinking if I test in the morning, and it’s consistent, might be inclined to believe I might be pg!

Got an internal ultrasound for Saturday anyway, as it was booked yonks ago for general gynae check up.

Ugh, I so hope 🤞🤞

Have you tried any other tests?

If you have been getting positives on and off for 6 weeks I would expect it to be darker by now and pick up on a digi at least.

With PCOS you can have multiple LH surges, and even a positive OPK doesn't guarantee you will ovulate.

Do you temp? I found this useful to confirm ovulation.

Also, OPKs do pick up the pregnancy hormone. Have you been doing them regularly or just sporadically? If you are using cheap sticks I would be tempted to get a first response. Doesn't really explain the negative digital though.

Would your GP refer you for bloods or a scan?
