What could this mean??

Question

So, AF is due on the 19th. I took a test yesterday and got a big fat negative.  For kicks, I took an ovulation test just now, and it came back positive.  What the hell does that mean? My peak day was the 6th of this month, we BD'ed for a week straight, including day of peak. I used opk's when tracking ovulation,  and I got quite a few negatives before I hit my peak. Why would I get a positive now?? HELP please!

Answer

For some reason some woman get a positive opk around the end of their cycle. I did read somewhere about this but for the life of me can't find the info on it now. Anyway it is a fairly common question on ttc forums... it is true that an opk can be positive when pregnant but it wouldn't pick up on the opk with out picking up on the pregnancy test... you have to have higher levels for the opk to show positive

Answer

You could actually be pregnant. An HCG test needs a certain amount in your urine to come up positive. Ovulation tests detect LH but it is present in your urine during early pregnancy until the corpus luteum leaves because the placenta has grown. Also an OPK can't tell the difference between HCG & LH. If your test line is Much darker than your control, you may be preggo & it's just to early to pick up on a preg test. Make sense? Do you have a pic of the test? Good luck & FX ✨✨✨
