Dark OPK at 8dpo

Well I don't know why i did an OPK, just wanted to POAS 😂 it's come up pretty dark for 8dpo, usually about now the line would be extremely faint and not really noticeable, I've seen online it can mean pregnancy or could it be a 2nd surge. I had a MMC in June found at 12 weeks (baby stopped growing at 8 weeks) so we are actively trying but I'm scared after a chemical and a MMC. I'm not doing any pregnancy tests till the day period is due (if I can wait that long, I'm due on Monday) the OPK isn't super dark but it's waaaay darker then when I'm usually not ovulating. Anyone else had this?

I had this as well on 8dpo this cycle, I got my bfp on 9dpo evening after 6 hour pee hold 😂

Also same boat.. I had mmc may at 12 weeks baby stopped at 6 weeks so k ow how you feel. I'm not 4+5 so early days yet.

Hopefully yours turns to a bfp too xx

@Kellyaust congratulations on your positive that's fab news 😍 but I'm so sorry to hear about your MMC, it truly is heartbreaking. How are you feeling?
I only have really cheap pregnancy tests and payday isn't for 2 weeks so I can't get a clear blue so I'll just wait 😱 I'm scared!

This was exactly my situation this month. Had a MMC in May and this was first month of TTC again. I was reluctant to test but posted on here and someone said I should test. Turns out I was pregnant. A faint line came up on the PG test and then I took a CB weeks indicator test and it said 1-2 weeks. Tested positive 6 days before my missed period but I think I ovulated early.

I got my bfp on the cheap tests, I stay away from CB unless it's a digital coz they're bad for evap lines. I also sorry for your loss... It is the worst thing ever when you think all is OK to be told baby died and you didn't have a clue.

So my opk was like this 8dpo.....i got bfn on cheapy 9dpo morning... But then had a feeling a lunchtime so held my pee til 6pm didn't drink much at all and got my bfp. This was it on the cheapie.... Then later at 10pm on the first response test. Then the day after on CB digital.

@spermwhale Congratulations! Had to comment because the 'just wanted to poas' made me lol! 😂 I know that feeling! 2dpo and I've got no reason to poas so just counting down. Good luck and lots of baby dust to you x

Test on a cheapie...much more reliable than cb. Good luck

Did a cheapy and this came up straight away, I played with the settings as couldn't see the colour in the pics, only 9dpo so seems a bit dark ... not sure what to think

@spermwhale oh yes I get you... I kept myself up lastnight worrying over every twinge. It's hard, but I'm so grateful to get another chance xxx
