More HPT/OPK confusion!

[toomanyshoes]

Ok so how reliable are those clearblue digital thingies that tell you how many weeks?

It's also been sitting in a draw for AGES!

It says pregnant 3+

So going by that I got pregnant last cycle and this "AF" was a bleed.

Plus I got a few + OPK's last week, all the ones I did was +, is that even possible?

I have no idea whats going!

Sounds to me like youre pregnant. HPTs only say youre pregnant if they detect pregnancy hormone. OPKs can also be used as HPTs because the hormones they detect are super similar, so the +OPKs have been telling you youre pregnant too. I would go and get a blood test

Ooooo sounds like congrats are in order
I've too heard opks will come up positive if you're pregnant because the hormone for ov has nearly the same makeup as the Preg hormone.
I found the digital tests incredibly accurate
Congratulations

They have an expiry date on the packet and the box - can you check it?

I use Clear Blue digital OPKs and used the HPTs when we conceived DD and they are VERY accurate.

Oooh, stalking now

[toomanyshoes]

Well I'm booked into the Dr tomorrow morning after I drop the kids to school

[Babyluv]

Oooo good luck, let us know

Update here ladies!

[Soph28]

Thats excellent!

Best wishes for a healthy pregnancy

[Taurean]

Yay! Congrats!

Now, how can I get to 9 weeks next time without too many symptoms

[toomanyshoes]

Well I actually had heaps of symptoms but every time I POAS it was a negative up until this week

[Taurean]

Isn't that bizarre! Did you feel sick? That's the bit I'd like to bypass next time, the nausea. Oh, and the weeks of hip and back pain. Am I asking too much?

[toomanyshoes]

Weeks ago I was telling a friend on facebook that I "felt pregnant", splitting head aches, feeling very sick and low energy but every test I did was negative or every time I thought I saw something it wasn't there later!

Still worried about it sticking though, with just a big bleed a few weeks ago, just have to wait and see.

[Taurean]

Fingers crossed it'a all ok. I guess it's better to have not know when you had the bleed as it no doubt saved you several weeks of stressing. I'll be stalking you now, waiting for the update when you have your next scan!
