Using an OPK as a preg test!
So I'm freaking out a little because my period is over a week late and I'm trapped at home today with no car and I decided to use an OPK because I've heard that they pick up HCG since it's so similar to LH. Well, I got a smiley!
Now, I'm not going to let myself get too excited, but I'm getting really freaking excited! It wouldn't make sense for me to have an LH surge now, I know I ovulated already this month. But is there anything else that would cause me to get a smiley?
I tested with a real pregnancy test the day my period was due and got a BFN. I figured it was another month it wasn't going to happen and moved on. But still no period and I've been feeling really crampy, so I decided to pee on an OPK since I didn't have anything else to pee on. LOL.
Of all times for me to run out of HPTs!
For reasons that are too long to explain, I probably won't be able to get my hands on a real test until tomorrow!
Ugh!
Anyone offer any insight or experience with this.
Give me a reality check.

I never heard of this, but I'd be interested what happens when you do get a preg test! Goodluck!!!

Re: Using an OPK as a preg test!
It can absolutely happen. I've read several stories on here from women who've tested positive on an OPK and were actually pregnant. Good luck!

Re: Using an OPK as a preg test!
Yes it is true. When I was pregnant my OPKs came up positive. But they're not nearly as sensitive as regular HPTs and I'm guessing they're not as reliable either.
So that's a very promising sign, but definitely wait to confirm it on a hpt!

Re: Using an OPK as a preg test!
Thank you everyone! It took us 18 months to conceive DC1 and now a little over a year for this one. We're really excited!
