Positive OPK = pregnancy??

[LilySh]

Hello everyone, my first time posting, hope you're all keeping well.
I hope some of you can shed light/advise me on my current ovulation results.
My period is two days late, getting hot flushes and my ovulation tests are suddenly showing as positive again for the past 3 days.
Should i take a pregnancy test? Also, does a positive ovulation test indicate pregnancy at this point?
Look forward to hearing your thoughts. Lily x

Hi @LilySh a positive OPK at this point can indicate either a late ovulation (perhaps the first did not quite happen despite a positive OPK) or it could indicate that you're pregnant. Best take a PG test to be sure good luck!

Ovulation tests can also detect the LH surge before AF appears. You either need to take pregnancy test or wait it out!

I’ve had the same thing today and it could be either of the two explanations that PPs have said.
I’m 14dpo and plan to do a FRER on Saturday if no bleeding before then

Good luck to you!

As soon as my opk was positive at 14 dpo, so was the frer!
I would definitely do a test!!!
Good luck x

That’s interesting @SunnySideUp2020. I’ve been googling loads and seen a mix of people saying it was a precursor to a positive PT, and others saying AF started soon after.
I’m being a wimp! Don’t want to see a BFN

@mouldygrapes i think some people talk about positive opk hut really mean dark opk before AF.
Opks do tend to become darker right before AF. But never actually turn positive again.
BUT a properly positive opk where the test is clearly darker than control is very likely to be pregnancy hormones being picked up!

I never get very dark OPKs (despite other signs of ovulation) and this is the darkest I’ve had.
Uploaded to Femometer and it says 68% (peak being 80+) but the highest I’ve ever had before is about 58%. I know they’re not the most accurate

I know I’m probably just winding myself up, and should test. I didn’t actually have any FRERs till today and only got them at lunchtime so saving for FMU. Thanks for talking

Positive opks was what indicated my pregnancy.. I hade 5 days of super strong positives so thought I’d best test.. which reviled I was pregnant x

For anyone else who may find this useful for comparison here is my strongly positive OPK from yesterday and FRER from today.

Congrats @mouldygrapes !!!!

Hi folks, I hope you don't mind me commenting, has anyone ever had a smiley face on the clearblue digital opk and actually been pregnant?
Thanks 👍🏼

I think this might have happened to me, and I have an early scan on Tuesday to confirm. I had a week of smiley faces and then I took a pregnancy test two days later thinking there was no way it would have worked so quickly.... I calculated I’d be 1 or 2 dpo and it was positive.

I have just had a week of static smiley faces on clear blue OPK, first time using it. Started testing on CD8 as instructed and immediate static smiley. Waited 2 days for it to disappear then tested again, another static smiley, waited 2 days again and tested a third time and another static smiley. Took a pregnancy test this morning and it was positive. I must have conceived in previous cycle and my last period must have been implantation bleeding but it’s confusing as it came exactly when my period was due and lasted 7 days and was usual flow as my normal periods.
Struggling to actually believe I could be pregnant. Or maybe it could be a chemical and the bleeding was a MC? But If that was the case would a test still show Positive now two weeks after the bleeding started?
So confused!

How are you both now? I am totally confused, I had static smiley, negative HPT the following day and spotting today - what can this mean? False positive on OPK??

Hi all,
Just to update if anyone interested. I did another pregnancy test on Wednesday and was positive so spoke to midwife and managed to get an early scan at the EPU this morning. Scan confirmed pregnancy and estimated I am 6+1. If I go by the first day of my period before the last one I am 7 weeks exactly, so a bit of a discrepancy but hopefully nothing to worry about! They said everything looks fine.
Still can't believe it. The bleeding I had in September was exactly like a normal period and came bank on when I was expecting it. So weird!

@BEJ9102 saw your other thread. It put a massive smile on my face! Congratulations

Thank you xx

I was the exact same as you @BEJ9102 and now 15 weeks today. Still no clue when I conceived as the bleed threw me off x
