Strong OPK line?

Hi all!

We TTC at the moment and I had read somewhere that sometimes ovulation tests can detect a pregnancy before you can take a pregnancy test.
AF is due 27th and I did the top test yesterday and then rest during course of day and second pic today.

do you think they are strong OPK lines or just normal?

Thank you ☺️

Yes OPKs picked up a pregnancy for me. Do you have any high sensitive HCG tests?

Mummy89x · 21/03/2022 16:06

Would you say they are strong lines or normal? No, not until tomorrow as I’ve had to get them delivered due to isolating! X

When I used easy@home OPKs they only showed a 2nd line on the days I was ovulating so I'd say a line showing at all is either the test picking up LH or HCG. Are you sure you have had your LH surge?

When OPKs (one step) picked up a pregnancy for me, I was a good few weeks pregnant just didn't know and decided to track my ovulation after what I though was a period. After a few days of positive tests I questioned how I could be ovulating so early and did a pregnancy test.

I'm isolating too, it sucks!

I definitely had a LH surge as I had to go for a scan around that time on my ovaries and the scanographer confirmed I had an egg that was just about to ‘release’ and have to sex every other day. So I wasn’t sure if this was just a one off/normal line or if it could be picking something up! I think I may just be getting hopes up!

And I also tested around that time and OPK test came back positive! Maybe I’m just getting my hopes up lol xx

Did they go negative at all between the surge and these tests? What time does the delivery arrive tomorrow? Try not to get too excited (but I do get it!!)

Mummy89x · 21/03/2022 17:17

They did! I’m just so impatient I just wanted to know now. I’m praying! X

I would think that's a good sign too :) Any one that can go to the shop for you this evening? I'd have DH into the pharmacy! Just put it out of ur mind until the test arrives tomorrow (hahaha possible?)

It could be, but HCG also rises right before a period comes I think. Pregnancy tests are much more accurate predictors. Good luck.

Did you tests arrive?

Mummy89x · 31/03/2022 09:48

I’m so sorry I’ve just this @irishfarmer! They did but negative. I still haven’t had my period arrive and I’ve just seen this…is that an evap line or a line?

@Mummy89x which tests are those? I can see a cross in the circle does that mean positive? Looks blue to me. I haven't had any personal experience with evaps, tests were either negative or positive (even after hours!)

Mummy89x · 31/03/2022 17:43

Clear blue! But done another test and BFN! 5 days late now and still no sign of my period!

May be time to splurge for a digital :) That looks positive to me

irishfarmer · 31/03/2022 17:54

BTW I have used CB tests, just they had two square boxes not a circle and diamond

mumtomads · 31/03/2022 18:06

@Mummy89x

Clear blue! But done another test and BFN! 5 days late now and still no sign of my period!
Perhaps try with a First Response? Supposedly pink dye tests are better... hope you're okay!
