Advice needed about Positive OPK

[Isithappening]

I have been trying to conceive for over three years (I already have children but problems since coming off depo).
My period is late (about 3/4 days but not entirely sure as I have stopped keeping track due to going so long without conceiving). My nipples have also been sore for 2 days.
I was going to do a pregnancy test but didn't have one in the house and I have a 10 year old with me today so I didn't want to go and buy one due to questions being asked. I do have some OPKs in the house and have heard that in early pregnancy an OPK will likely show positive due to similar hormones being released as during ovulation.
I did an OPK and it is positive. It is the darkest positive I have ever managed on an OPK. I don't think I can be ovulating as I am overdue my period.
Could I be pregnant?

I'm going to have to find a way to get to the chemist without 10 year old aren't I?

Yes, go and get a pg test, you'll never know for sure otherwise Good luck!

Thanks cloud jumper.
I am considering how to get into chemist without 10 year old asking "what are you getting". I will have to drive to the chemist so I could park outside and say I am Nipping in for something else and leave nosey Parker in the car.
After more than three years trying it would be a great valentines surprise, but trying not to get my hopes up too much.

Fingers crossed for you :) deffo get a preg test and test tomorrow morning with first morning pee.

Or buy one online?

Give the 10yo £5 to spend on sweets in Boots, the sweet isle is a long way away from the pg test isle in ours, child will be busy choosing whilst you sneakily make your purchase.

I couldn't wait until tomorrow morning. We have been trying to conceive for so long that impatience got the better of me (but I did buy two tests just in case I needed to retest with first morning urine).
I went to the charity bookshop with the 10 year old and he chose about five books so I took him back to the car and let him sit in reading whilst I popped into the chemist a couple of doors down. He was so busy being happy with his book haul (real book worm) that he wasn't bothered about what I was going to the chemist for.
Test just done and it was positive .

Pic attached of the OPK and the HPT. Purple one is the HPT.

Hopefully a clearer picture.

Congratulations

Thanks cheesymonster. Now I'm Just waiting impatiently for DH to come home so I can tell him the news.

oh wow congratulations :) i've recently come off the dreaded Depo too so I know your pain! here's hoping for a smooth, uneventful 9 months for you!

Good luck jellipi, I hope you too have good news soon.

It has just dawned on me that the funny blood/metallic taste I have had in my mouth at nighttime for the past four days is an early pregnancy symptom. Because we have been TTC for so long I think I had given up hope and stopped monitoring my body signs. DH has also informed me that it has actually been more than 4 years since I came off depo and not the three years that I thought it was. He is correct as when I thought about it I came off depo at end of 2010.

That's a very strong positive! I'd be getting a CB digi with the weeks because it looks like you might get 2-3 weeks which is actually 4-5 weeks pregnant by doc standards.

Congrats!

Aww huge congratulations, that has put a big smile on my face! Keeping fingers and toes crossed you have a lovely smooth pregnancy x

Happy happy happy ! Congratulations what a great valentines

sykadelic I did consider getting a clear blue digi because I wasn't sure on dates but thought I would be 4/5 weeks on doctors calculations. But I went against getting a clear blue digi because I thought the weeks on them correlated to doctors dates so I would only get 3+ which wouldn't tell me anything. Now that you have explained I might go and get one tomorrow and see what it says. Just have to figure out how to distract two children tomorrow (half term).

Thank you everyone for the congratulation posts.
