OPK used as a HPT

Davone • Fri, Sep 19 • I`m a happily married lesbian who is trying to start a family with her wife. TTC baby #2 the 1st is 21 yrs old.

9/19

5 DPO & 6 DPIUI bbt-98.03.... In my TWW ... Beta test at dr office scheduled for Tuesday 9/23

I know it is two early to test but I did. The reason I tested is because 1. My bbt was very high this morning so then I 2. Took my Clearblue digital test opk test and tested. I did this yesterday too but it came up low fertility ( no happy face) this morning it came up blinking happy face ( high fertility) I shouldn't be fertile but I read you can use your opk as a hpt! I only used the opk because I read that: The hormone that the OPKs test for (LH) is very close to the hormone HPTs test for (hcg). You can't get a + hpt without the presence of HCG though. It's hard to explain why you can get a + on an opk for hcg but you can...... So then I used a first response pregnancy test and got a BFN lol ..... I'm going to test again tomorrow, Sunday and Monday before my Beta blood test at the doctor office on Tuesday.

I should of stayed on vacation away from these test lmaooo
