OPK as early pregnancy test

[HoldOnToHope]

Hey everyone!

I'm fairly new to TTC (4 months NTNP & have been charting/using OPKs this month) & I was just wondering if anyone has ever used an OPK as an early pregnancy test?

I'm currently 14DPO but still have another 6 days until AF is due as I have long cycles (although I would consider them regular in the sense that they always last the same amount of days.

I've been having symptoms that could be either pregnancy or AF related, but didn't have any IC pregnancy tests to use, so I've just used an OPK.

It's a clear postive, the control line is just as dark as the test line...but I'm 14DPO!
Is it true that this could mean pregnant, or can it mean something else? Just not sure whether to wait till AF is due or get a FRER tomorrow! Xx

🤔🤔

Yes OPKs can work. I'd get a frer to be sure though!

Hi op. I tried this when I knew I was pregnant just out of curiosity as I'd heard the same thing. I did a few and all were like yours. I really hope this is it for you. Of course I'd suggest getting a pregnancy test and testing nearer to when af is due.

Good luck xx

Thanks @lakehouse, I'd heard that they could be used but wasn't sure if they were very reliable!
Think I'm gonna get a FRER now to use in the morning, I need to know! Haha xx

Ah thanks @Yakadee, me too! Xx

Well, it worked for me! BFP on a FRER this morning, can't believe it!

(Sorry for the fuzziness of the photo!!)

Congratulations!

(I know we're supposed to give mean biscuits, but biscuits are nice. Tea and biscuits for you and baby. This is my first biscuit, btw.)

Delighted for you. ❤️

@ValidUser Ah, thank you so much!

You're right, biscuits are lovely and whoever made them mean isn't right in the head!xx

Yay, congratulations! Xx
