Just wondering if any of you poas aholics have tried opk's as hpt's. I have been using my opks to keep me from using the hpt too early. I am supposedly about 9dpo now and for the past couple of days I have nearly + opk's. I have been having strangely + opk's this month. It seems like almost every other day. I hold my urine for about the same amount of time and tried testing at the same time. I am trying to wait until Saturday to use my hpt, but I just don't think I will be able to stay away from those darn frer's. They are screaming at me, taunting me! I will wait until tomorrow's fmu though.

So I have a lot of symptoms, but I think I have them every month. So I am not putting too much on that. The opk's are really throwing me off though. I google way too much because now its got me thinking...hmmm.

Af should be here on the 7th. I hope she stays away.

I tried it once. I got the test line on the OPK to show up, but the HPT was neg. So I don't know if the OPK test line has to look as dark as it does for O'ing to be considered positive for pg or not.
Good luck!!

Try looking on www.peeonastick.com I think the girl that runs that site did that test. Not sure though. Its a good site to check out though. I personaly tryed it once and it was a - opk and so was the hpt that I took a couple of days later.

Rhonda,

I remember you asking Dee when she first found out so.....I did it last month for you when I was PG. 11dpo. My HCG was between 5-10 and the opk looked exactly the same as it did on months that I wasn't pregnant.

I will post a pic as soon as I find it.

Bobbie I was wondering if you did that last month. You really are the POAS queen. And you tried to keep it on the DL!

I know I can't help it I totally forgot about the OPK until now.

I am going to try REALLY hard to wait until 10-12 dpo this month depending on how I feel about my chances. Seems like the m/c didn't mess much up I am Oing right on time. (And BDing on time too!)

Anyways..... back to Rhonda..... step away from the stick....

and if you don't...post pics
