CD25 & a dark OPK?!

Hello everyone!
I'm currently on CD25.
So this month I didn't opk because husband was away for most of the month blah blah. Think we only DTD once around the middle of the month.
Anyway yesterday when I was eating the taste of the cutlery in my mouth was making me feel ill, really strong metal taste. Husband couldn't taste anything. So I thought I'll just try an opk today to see what happens and it was pretty dark (either almost positive or a day past being positive) just wondering is it common to ovulate really late or for the opk to come up very dark close to the end of a cycle? AF isn't due until next Sunday. So just hoping that my cycle isn't royally fudged up (going away after Christmas and id times it perfectly, darn you AF!)

Try a HPT. That's how I found out I was preggy by accidentally using an opk instead of a HPT. 😉

I want to but my DH is adamant that I'm not because we've barely seen each other this month! So you think I should wait until AF is due to test?

Well i very randomly didn't ovulate until cd28 this month which is very late for me! Still waiting for AF - knew it wouldn't be when it was originally due because of late ovulation. I'm 8dpo today and have got period pains so am expecting AF any day soon with a short luteal phase and hoping it's just a one off.

If I were you I'd test though just to be sure

I've heard that late in your cycle an OPK can be used as a home pregnancy test....with the result you have there equalling a positive! Try a hpt!

Just wanted to say I POAS yesterday and it was a BFN.
Today and yesterday I did an OPK so CD 25/26 and they went dark immediately - I think my womb knows I'm going on holiday and has decided to cock up my cycle!
AF was meant to be due Sunday so I could be carefree between Xmas and new year! How rude

So you're still only about 10 dpo? You can't really know or trust an HPT until after AF due...
