I know this has been posted on before - but I was hoping some of you could share your experience of using OPKs as HPTs earlier than you can get a BFP on a HPT.
I think I am 8 DPO and today i did another OPK (don't know why...just a POAS junkie I guess!) and it was a VERY clear +ve...I have heard that you can get a BFP via and OPK up to 7 days prior to being able to see it on an HPT.
So what I am asking is....has anyone used an OPK as an HPT, had a positive result and how many DPO were you and did it eventuate into a pregnancy?????
But at 8dpo it will be very difficult to get a positive preg test. The earliest I got a positive (very feint) was 10dpo but I had a positive opk by around what you are now.
Only time will tell if this is a positive pregnancy or not but it is pointing tht way!
i did wtih an OPK at around 9dpo and even with a clearblue fertility monitor test stick. the opk always had 2 lines for me but they were darker every day then i got my BFP on 11dpo, i was doing the opk's every day for the cycle to see how my cycle worked but luckily i fell pregnant! good luck!
when I was pregnant with DS1 I used an opk as hpt when I was 14 dpo, and it showed up as a positive, I didn't want to test earlier and be disappointed to see a negative! Good luck I hope it was an early positive for you!
There is info about using OPKs as HPT if you search for site Peeonastick.com - there is all sorts of interesting info about HPTs and OPKs including photos. There is a whole section called 'OPK as HPT'.
As far as I know they are not trying to sell anything so I think it is okay to link that web address in here (sorry if it's not, mods).
