positive opks a sign of pregnancy?

Question

lately I've been seeing posts where ladies have been posting opks they took after ovulation with a dark test line or a positive looking opk. is it true that this could be a sign of pregnancy? I've never heard this and I'm a little confused by it. can anyone please explain it for me?

Answer

yes! with my last 2 pregnancies I've had positive opks!

Love this gif...one of my faves! 😂😂
But from what I've read, it's true! OPKs detect the LH hormone, HPT detect HCG. But they are such similar hormones, OPK tests have trouble distinguishing the difference. It does not work the other way however (i.e. You will not get a positive HPT when ovulating).
